Can't see anything other than a proper Moyes at a big 6 club tummy tickling tonight, alas

Helping my mum move out of her house today and one of the movers is blazing up on his break. Whole place now smells like a grow house.

We've had some bad away Derby performances down the years but never one that bad whilst pretending to be an elite club like Spurs do

Oh Richard!

Will Everton Way be open today does anyone know?

Agnew droning on AGAIN about England's preparation. He's such a bore these days. It's not going to change, they're gonna do what they're gonna do, so please shut the fuck up about it

Lots of Aussie journalists, TV and Print, absolutely steaming into England after that first innings on Twitter. They do seem irrationally bothered by us don't they? Weird. We're shit most of the time and they normally batter us. A colonial heritage will have that effect, I suppose.

Would you like a tall, frosty one, Homer?

steve smith, you scored 17 on your specialist subject, "getting hit by jofra archer"

19 wickets fallen and now I've got to do a day's work.

Australia are going Green

Australia have lost their Head

Jofra Archer: good at bowling.

Imagine paying ten grand to go to the other side of the world to watch cricket and then getting seated next to that helmet with the trumpet

Lads, you're not playing at the Ageas Bowl anymore. These square boundaries are fucking enormous. They've got that field for a reason.

Must also be an incredibly bleak experience for Cook, Finn et al on TNT. Basically working a night shift in a warehouse station in the Olympic Park

The TNT coverage is a shambles. Can't even be arsed sending their team over there. Temptation is to mute it and listen to TMS but even their commentary is hugely diminished from what it once was. Hartley, Moeran, Norcross etc are borderline unlistenable

That CHIP from McLean last night was a prime example of how absolutely other-worldly good professional footballers are. Even relatively average ones like him. Imagine trying that in those circumstances. I'd 100% just panic, fall over and barely make any contact with the ball.

BBC Sport describing this as a Lob. Abolish the licence fee.

Football. Good.

Wowwwww

Andy Robertson. National disgrace.

Genuinely stunned by that comment from MBS on Khashoggi. "A mistake and lessons have been learned." Like it was a minor industrial accident rather than a man being carved up with a bonesaw by your own henchmen.

All Denmark tonight aren't we

Any decent cricket podcasts that aren't TMS? My Ashes fever is not quite feverish enough yet

Got interviewed for Portuguese TV outside the ground in Nuremberg after England beat Trinidad and Tobago in the 2006 World Cup

Just started One Battle After Another and spotted my wife, Alana Haim, in it.

Enver's lad looks quite decent for Albania here.

Annie is off to a "Lapland Experience" in Macclesfield with our two year old and her cousins. Really high hopes for it being so bad it makes the national news

⚽ On the ball - 16/11/2025 I guessed the player in 2 guesses Score: 78 Top 6% of players today See if you can beat me! guardian.go.link/8FZ5o

That's a mental 45 minutes in Scotland's group. But a Belarus win and a Scotland loss is the funniest possible outcome so 🤞

Phenomenal stuff from England there #egg

Listening to "Vice" by Razorlight and repeatedly calling the mobile number he gives out at the end, like I'm 17 again.

Go on then I'll play Spy Novels West Coast IPA Chorizo Books about Corporate Scandals Test Match Cricket Pro Wrestling Electronic Ambient Music Pipers Crisps The Algarve Reading articles I don't fully understand in the FT

6Music playing Sunday Morning by the Velvet Underground, this morning. Furious.

Bit of "Garner for England" chat knocking about. No way. He's the most Republic of Ireland via a Grandmother player ever. Someone like him should get 80 caps for Ireland and feature in a World Cup campaign where they finish third in the group.

Don't forget your booties cause it's cold out there today.

While I'm throwing out policies, close down all establishments that insist that beers be served as a Demi.

Going to Flat Iron for dinner with my mum. Have to then go and watch Miss Saigon with my mum.

If your journey is two floors or less and you are physically able, please do not get in my lift

Woman who has brought her dog onto a jam packed commuter train seems suprised that the dog is agitated and jumping up at people

Listen to these absolute grasses

Big feature across BBC Sport and Radio today- "What laws in Football need changing?" Can't for the life of me think which controversial decision over the weekend might have prompted this.

I'm going for a pint at lunchtime. Because its Christmas.

Those three on "The News Agents" are so far up their own arses they'll never realise that when people like them leap to the defence of the BBC, they make the situation much worse.

My mate who is senior in HR at the BBC messages to tell me he chose the worst possible Monday to go into work with a raging hangover

I hate Children In Need and all the stupid challenges these no-mark presenters do

Oh well I've never felt more like singing the Blues
