Mainly will talk about football (Spurs), rugby (Ulster & Ireland teams), gaming (PS5) and Star Wars. Watch other shows/sports but those are the top dogs.
Bit late this week, but watching MotD2 (MotD sunday) now - the person coming up with the graphics in yellow boxes during highlights deserves some applause. "Jordanance survey" in relation to Henderon 👏

I am all for squad management and a degree of rotation, but just don't feel a consistency or solid plan in team selections atm

Well, Ange was never a good fit for Forest but I can't see how he escapes accountability for his Forest tenure. Forest looked increasingly wide open and weaker at defending set pieces.

Encouraging performance by Northern Ireland despite the loss. Had Germany pinned back for last 20 mins and good chances created. Need a result in Slovakia #GAWA

Excellent gig by Oasis at Wembley. Had the whole crowd signing multiple times. The aftermath, a total shambles of TfL's making (hint: if a sunday gig of that size, extend your train times)..

If it's good as Insomniac's Spiderman games, should be in for a treat. It's pretty difficult not to be able to make a good story for a game out of the Wolverine character. Saw the trailer, clearly not the fully polished article, but see lots of potential.

A win and a clean sheet. Feel optimistic for the progress of some players (e.g. Simons, Bergvall, Gray) and really hope some offer more in the future (Tel). Onwards and please give Porro a rest soon.

Watched Thomas Frank interview on Spurs YouTube.
Small things he says give me hope. Seems he wants to be closer to the players, whereas Ange was deliberately distant. Focused on a high pressing game and will use coaching staff (yes coaching) to implement a system. Keen to develop our young players.

I wish Ange the best. It feels the right decision but Ange will always have a place in our hearts

Paul Scholes via TNT on the Europa League final: Manchester United know how to win trophies, Tottenham don't. I just think the history of the club will get them over the line.

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"
It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme
I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions
