Time for my silly holiday photos! This may look like a slogan for a Portuguese dating app but is in fact a sign on the Metro in Lisbon

The best media April Fool jokes are the ones that get inadvertently poleaxed by real events.

Since 2018 Italy have qualified for more men’s cricket world cups than men’s football world cups.

I recommend Lisbon if you like eating half a roast chicken and having a beer and it costing about 12 euros.

Night all

In return for information about the thieves, Crimestoppers are offering a large bounty.

You’d have taken the rest of the day off the sports desk and gone to the pub after a headline like this.

Hang on this isn’t Bob Holness #totp

Crystal Palace’s Brennan Johnson’s missed pen for Wales means it’s Gwlad All Over for the World Cup

Surrey’s Reg Madgwick Stadium had never seen anything like it.

This is really marvellous. Pure Hinge and Bracket.

Very sad that my colleague and pal @iandeeley.com died at the weekend after a short illness. Among his many other qualities Ian was the sort of guy to set up an internet radio station to entertain his friends on Saturday nights during lockdown. I’ll miss him.

A really good documentary series about men and football and class and (a bit of) politics in Scotland that has had none of the publicity that Louis Theroux got. I recommend. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Been added to a list of “possibly Irish posters”. Sorry to disappoint.

Carabao have sponsored the league cup since 2017 but how many of you could hand on heart say that you know exactly who or what Carabao is.

Alan Partridge’s 1997 Kate Bush medley! 14 mins into the Comic Relief musical prog on BBC Two now!

Went to a local non-league game at the mighty Harrow Borough, heard a member of the opposition coaching staff call the ref a “f**king idot”, a group of us loudly dobbed him in, he got a red card. Football is so good.

It’s all because Google got rid of Google Reader.

I'm not sure if there are two more polar opposites than Jenni Murray and Chuck Norris. RIP.

L'acteur américain Chuck Norris est mort, says AFP

Show someone who absolutely rocks a hat (that isn’t Indiana Jones).

This is one of my favourite sporting photos ever, and I didn't know wh took it until today

“We Are Family”. Sorry, Sister Sledge.

Should probably have held off on sending that first email.

Delighted to see the first taps aff of the year. (Central London, 10am, March 18th)

It’s So Edinburgh, exhibit 1

In honor of Habermas, a meme I made

RIP Phil Woolas, former immigration minister. Famously bearded live on TV by Joanna Lumley about the plight of the Gurkhas.

Just read another story about me writing a classick in an attick. Completely false #totp

This was an unashamed banger #totp

Phats, Small, Shanks AND Bigfoot. All the lads #totp

“When someone makes a move Of which we don't approve Who is it that always intervenes? U.N. and O.A.S They have their place, I guess But first - send the Marines”

“For the obverse impression Our effigy with the inscription “CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 10 POUNDS” and the date of the year, and for the reverse a depiction of each of the Spice Girls in silhouette form”

I’ve got an annoying eye infection, shall I get Macron-style reflective shades y/n

Joey Barton reaches the “find out” stage. Again.

I’ve had a press release about “Chalamet’s Opera Diss” which sounds like something funded by the Eastern Region Arts Council.

Don't mention the VAR www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

It’s not going to be barest of all margins stuff, this, is it? 🏏

I really enjoyed this on being a cricket supporter (despite my belief that you can go to T20/Hundred matches and still appreciate the actual game). open.substack.com/pub/thecrick...

“Even if it has two more decades to grow, Bluesky will probably never become as influential as Twitter once was. Maybe that’s not a bad thing.” This is good, by @roisinlanigan.bsky.social, about Twitter and BlueSky. observer.co.uk/news/science...

Also no-one ever mentions that the frame rate of the camera renders such intricate judgements pointless anyway

And football authorities seem to treat the regular televised chorus of “F*** V-A-R” during checks as a normal thing that’s not worth a response.

Germans now own the Daily Telegraph and Britain’s Eurovision entry is called “Eins zwei drei”

Really top TV directing at Spurs v Palace tonight, just someone living their best life.
