A pitch invasion for getting in the play offs is and has always been unbeliveably tinpot

NEW RECORD parkrun attendance today for UK. (Beating the recently set record of c240k on the day before Easter Sunday) #parkrun

Despite all that, it's been the most enjoyable season since the Karanka days, and if we don't go up, another crack at this league with super Kim in charge is an exciting prospect. UTB

Haven't even got to Conway's miss at home to Cov, Ayling deciding not to defend for a bit when we were massively on top away at Cov, the ref giving a shocking penalty for the ages away at Ipswich, not putting Millwall to bed in the first half at home etc etc etc So many if-onlys.

Another couple here if Leo Castledine had header this anywhere other than directly upwards (I'm going to stop now, this is killing me)

Another two points here at Blackburn if Aidan Morris didn't thrash at this

Probably another two points gained if Sol Brynn doesn't rugby tackle a striker who is harmlessly running towards the edge of the pitch at Swansea

Torturing myself with Boro if-onlys. Exhibit A: George Edmundson HEADING THIS OUT FOR A CORNER cost Boro 2 points.

Gotta keep that rampant spending demand down lads, people throwing their money around left, right and centre these days

20 minutes in and no Ipswich penalty yet? Have IFAB changed the rules while I wasn't looking?

Enjoying this phone in about renters rights on Five Live. On one side - 'people spending upwards of 40% of their income on rent is unsustainable and bad for society on the whole, something needs to change' On the other side - 'waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaa waaaaaa waaaaaa'

A what?

Man City v Chelsea really is a spectacularly uninteresting FA Cup final

BBC marathon interviewer: "so, we're here with John who is going for a very specific time and is on pace, I'm going to ask him the same question in 8 different ways and speak really slowly while he clearly just wants to get going again"

I don't have any fancy analysis about this but a sub 2 hour marathon is taking the piss really

Love watching the London Marathon and hearing all the inspiring stories of why people are doing it. I also make sure I take a little bit of time out from the wholesomeness to get annoyed at celebrities that are given places to something that is so over subscribed.

Imagine Man City v Southampton at Villa Park, 2pm kick off then Chelsea v Leeds at Old Trafford at 4. That would be so good.

FA Cup semi finals at Wembley - still shit.

I'm not a rugby person but do people who are in to it find these relentless England batterings at all interesting? From my uneducated viewpoint it seems like it's barely even a competition - but maybe I don't follow it closely enough.

This Boro transition from play well and lose to play badly and win could be ideally timed

No they aren't

According to the xG this is Boro's worst miss of the season (I dismissed a couple that I didn't think we genuine shots) Alan ******** Browne, indeed. Looked bad in real time but this still image makes it look horrific.

Aidan Morris is, officially, The Absolute Business.

Kudos the Wednesday fans though, they were incredible. The exchange of "How shit must you be, it's only one-nil" and "How shit must you be, we're winning at home" was probably the highlight of the whole evening

Not the most fun night at the Boro last night. Dreadful game, terrible nervy, knackered performance. Doesn't remotely matter though, 3 points is all that mattered from that one. If I'm Hellberg now I rest everyone of any importance for the next 2 games. Play all the reserves and kids.

That Leicester squad is decent, how the hell has that happened?

Who listens to that Nicky Butt/Paul Scholes/Paddy McGuinness football podcast? Honestly, who is *that* starved for football chat?

I'm going to end up like the Stop Brexit guy, but outside Bikmo's office instead of the houses of parliament

I think it was this phrase from the Ombudsman (on appeal, the first Ombudsdude agreed with me and told them to pay) that tipped me over the edge: Mr B’s cycle was stored in a cycle park, this location doesn’t meet the definition of ‘cycle parking’

My life is now dedicated to ensuring every person on earth knows to avoid Bikmo cycle insurance. It's turned me into some bald Teesside Erin Brockovich I've written up the whole affair in the hope I get it in front of anyone ever Googling/ChatGPTing Bikmo. medium.com/@Banouby/bik...

Well deserved. Been a joy to watch this season.

Nothing has changed my analysis that this Boro team is almost comically unlucky

I'm a broken record on this but the radicalisation and brain rot of Gen X/boomers is a massively under-appreciated problem

This is disgraceful from Nike and whichever clown show of an agency was involved. How the hell does something this tone deaf get signed off? www.londoncentric.media/p/parkun-lon...

Not enough talk of Southampton getting the 2nd promotion spot in the Championship.

If Florian Wirtz is worth £100m+, Boro should ask for 8 trillion pounds for Hayden Hackney in the summer

He's hilarious

@borobreakdown.bsky.social I see a lot of parallels between this Boro season and Bielsa's 1st season at Leeds. High energy football that's unplayable at its best but burns out a squad that isn't big or talented enough (in depth) to cope. Effectiveness suffers massively when players are knackered

I need to know why the creatives in charge of the Betfred account went with 'lets have two guys inexplicably meeting on the top of a car park to randomly argue about football' as their big advert idea

Why do golf caddies wear those boiler suits? Seem neither practical or comfortable to me

Everyone working in sports data today benefits from the work that Rob has done over those 28 years. One of the absolute giants of the industry, and an excellent guy that it was a privilege to spend a few years working alongside.

In Falkirk and looking at the big horses. Convinced horse number 2 has just squared the ball across to horse number 1 and he's fluffed it.

Not sure what's more embarrassing, Nunez celebrating like he is after having to get hooked after 20 minutes for being a moron, or the Sky presenter trying to interview Ed Sheeran on FaceTime.
