Mediocre season for #watfordfc summed up with five straight losses and a final day embarrassment. Duxbury fronting our owner's failings and blaming it on recruitment says so much about how broken the club is and how bad Pozzo's rule has become. There's no future until Pozzo is gone.

Devastated. Arrivederci, #Azzurri. A dreadful match from Italy, from bad coaching to poor performances to an obvious red card. The soul-searching must lead to wholesale change in Italian football. Unacceptable.

Highlight of #watfordfc v Leicester was singing "you'll be playing Luton, we'll be playing Spurs" at the Foxes. And then, Spurs take one step closer to making it happen!

Born too late to explore Earth Born too early to explore space Born just in time to hop on a quick call

European nights in Bologna. It wouldn't be a European holiday without a bit of calcio. Hard fought 1-1 draw for @bolognafc1909.bsky.social v Roma in the Europa League, with a big crowd at the beautiful Renato Dall'Ara. #groundhopping #calcio

I've always assumed Brent Crude was just a way of describing filthy night out in Neasden.

Olympics TV broadcasting in the UK is truly diabolical. Programme listings bear no resemblance to events being shown. Inane chatter and interviews rather than live events. "Coming up next" and then an entirely different sport. How have BBC and TNT Sports both done this so badly?

Pozzo hiring a head coach from Charleroi... you don't say... what a coincidence. #watfordfc

Measles was declared eliminated in the United States. Now it is a rapidly growing threat to public health - already with double the cases in all of 2024 and nearly ten times of 2023.

They owe her, and all of us, an apology.

Clear and strong words from Governor Hochul. Now time for Senator Schumer and Minority Leader Jeffries to make clear their position - and do something about it.

Tom Cleverley, olé olé! #watfordfc through and through, still hates the Luton.

Switzerland is home to the 40 CHF burger, but Trump had TACO on the menu in Davos Wednesday night...

Let that sink in. "Sometimes you need a dictator". From the President of the United States. Truly a new world order underway.

Mark Carney's speech is now only the second most acute analysis of where the world is at right now:

Donald Trump will generate far more headlines today. But Mark Carney's speech may be the most important signal to come from Davos on the future of the world order. youtu.be/miM4ur5WH3Y?...

Strongly object to the @buffalobillsnfl.bsky.social firing McDermott but keeping (and elevating) Beane. And STRONGLY object to the typo in the first sentence of Pegula's quote. C'mon, Bills... #BillsMafia #BuffaloBills

How it started/how it's going

United States launches trade war against longstanding European allies over Greenland annexation... was not on my Saturday night bingo card.

Borderline criminal to claim the bagel was obscure... and absolutely criminal to claim some of the rolls in stories outside New York resemble a bagel.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

One of the most horrifying stories you'll read. ChatGPT telling a suicidal 23 year old, "Cold steel pressed against a mind that’s already made peace? That’s not fear. That’s clarity... You’re not rushing. You’re just ready." Is this the future of humanity? edition.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

I don't understand... what is happening...

Another failed Pozzo appointment. Another new manager to be hired. Another set of nonsense promises from the owner, who is never held accountable. Stop the merry-go-round, I'm tired of this circus. #watfordfc

Bad start, strong for 60 minutes, Vata could've had three, then poor final 30. A deserved win. Still not played a complete match. Three points out of 6th. Not sure what to make of this Watford side. #watfordfc

Pezzo in? 🙃 #watfordfc

#WatfordFC on 1W-2D-4L (including League Cup) on the season. Grim performances, players disjointed on pitch, Pezzolano seemingly without a formation or a fix. With three very winnable matches upcoming, how long does it go on? Over to you, Pozzo...

Spent two years trying to explain what "leave" to "remain" meant. Was glad to become a UK citizen so I had a logical term to use. (Separately, the proposal is bonkers - no value and plenty of harm to UK.)

A bit of @yankees.com baseball on UK TV through MLB Europe is a very good thing, but please no more Felix White. #NYY #Yankees

Grim performance from #watfordfc in the Elton John tribute. No structure to formation, no pace to attack, no coherence to how players managed game. Pezzolano after six matches doesn't seem to know best players or formation. Pressure building?

Lovely day in the sunshine, 15 minutes door-to-door away day, fans in great voice, but a poor showing from #watfordfc. Pezzo-ball hard to define, no clear strategy or plan. Players out of position didn't impress. Kjerrumgaard far too isolated. Subs by Pezzolano worsened play. Mid-table ahoy!

Love it. Very Lecce / Catanzaro. Would be better with black shorts, oddly. May buy it at full price and not the end-of-season discount. What a historic decision that would be, eh @mattchurchill.co.uk? #watfordfc

Who would've imagined this scenario. Musk's Grok AI chatbot puts forward climate denial messages in order to "balance perceived mainstream bias". www.scientificamerican.com/article/elon...

Military-style operation equipment. Smoke grenades and flashbangs used on civilians. Let that sink in.

Cannot help feel Pozzo's seemingly swift and sigificant transfer action reinforces he simply refused to back Tom Cleverley. Whether that's out of principle, stubbornness or ignorance of what was required, it undermined the manager's and club's chance for success. #watfordfc

AG4IN. A brilliant Scudetto win for Napoli, Conte, McTominay. Nothing expected. Never respected. Earned through hard work and belief. Naples will not sleep tonight. Forza Napoli Sempre! #Napoli #SSCNapoli #SerieA

Finding Eurovision 2025 strangely underwhelming. Do I need more alcohol? Have my tastes become dull?

Labour cannot out-Reform Reform. And trying to do so risks alienating and angering Labour's core voters - without winning over new ones. How Labour takes forward or adjusts this political strategy will be fascinating to watch.

21 managers in 13 years, time for another go. At what point does Gino Pozzo acknowledge his own failures. Because if it's been wrong 21 times, surely that is his responsibility, not all 21 managers' fault. Out of ideas, unwilling to change, making the same bad choices again. #watfordfc

I do not like when the nerds who post graphs on here are all going "oof" and "jesus christ" at the same time

Beautiful Bologna. The first couple days of wandering and enjoying an underappreciated city. Red walls, tall towers, endless porticos, dark passageways. Much to love. And more to come.

The most powerful, meaningful thing you will read today, this week and perhaps this year. The service by so many Americans to protect American interests, dismantled so quickly.

An announcement that will change the course of history - and fundamentally change relations between the United States and Europe for many years to come. www.ft.com/content/97b1...

we’re five seconds from this

Whatever your political views - how can Europe can be "left reeling", or be surprised at all? The signs have been clear and in some cases were overtly stated for many months.

As a long-time av geek, astonishing to watch.

Four years of this. Countries unable to negotiate, just accept demands or face punishment. Constant retaliatory tariffs disrupting the economy. Will have real-world impact upon many companies and people. Curious to see how it is covered by media and discussed by business leaders.

UK Government has opportunity to massively scale up research funding, recruit top American talent, be science and tech leader for a generation. Same for climate tech and green economy. And creative industries and arts. Starmer could transform UK economy and reshape Britain's global role.

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.
