I still maintain the 2008 Wimbledon men’s final is the greatest tennis match lf all time but this was something special. Men’s tennis was in a weird place as the big four wound down but no one filled the vacuum. Sinner, Alcaraz and others are doing that and more #RolandGarros

I hope people take my game opinions with a grain of salt because I paid full retail price for these games. Please share your Full Retail regrets, cowards #FullRetailRegrets

Genuinely emotional at Danny Care’s last game today. I only got into club rugby in 2008 and he’s been an ever present, leading @harlequinsrugby.bsky.social to such success and giving so much to the club. Also might be the last time a sporting icon of mine retires and I’m younger!

It’s still wild you can stream Maidstone United games or listen to commentary on Stones Live and follow live scores on social. When i lived abroad the only way i could follow The Stones was on the (excellent) official website. The internet has done some good… @maidstoneunited.bsky.social

Also, went to order the Maidstone United game on @dazngroup and received this. First time I’ve seen this warning from Apple

Big day: - Maidstone United in the National League South playoff final - United in the Women’s FA Cup Final - Danny Care’s last dance at The Stoop

My #Eurovision votes #ESC2025

Football is broken if that's a penalty. The rule, the process. Everything

This will require another economic lever #UCL

Rory McIlroy was already the best of his generation but can you imagine the pressure to complete a 11 year story and take your rightful place as one of the greatest of all time? #TheMasters

RORY. FINISHED. THE. STORY #TheMasters

This is like the 2013 men’s Wimbledon Final all over again #Masters

Me, as a, #sportsbiz journalist: I wonder what the ratings are on CBS for this. Also, what a great example of on-screen ball-tracking tech. Me, as a McIlroy fan: “I can’t spake.” #Masters

That, all things considered, is one of the best shots I’ve very seen, from Rory McIlroy #Masters

This is as remarkable a #Masters final day as I can recall. Just the perfect mixture of on-course drama, big names, and wider narrative.

Declan Rice

Declan Rice. My goodness.

Pleasantly surprised the Women’s March Madness final is on at a decent time zone for the UK. Odd it isn’t primetime in the US. #WFinalFour #NCAA

#MUNMCI Things we already knew: United need a striker, Bruno Fernandes is world class. The best post-Fergie signing by a country mile.

Genuinely a bit emotional about the end of Eurosport in the UK. We had Sky in Switzerland but only in the living room so I'd often have Eurosport Germany permanently on my bedroom TV. It was broadcast in mono audio on analogue cable so you could select English commentary. What a time.

Anthony at Man Utd vs Anthony at Real Betis

Huge fan of Sky Sport Switzerland’s ruthless email marketing for Spurs v Man Utd #mufc

So yeah, I didn’t have new Fox graphics in my #SBLIX broadcast preview www.sportspro.com/insights/ana...

Early Super Bowl thoughts 1. What an absurd call 2. The new Fox on-screen graphics are a vast improvement #SBLIX

I was up at the crack of dawn to speak to BBC Radio 5 live about the PDC's new five year TV deal with Sky (Item starts at 45:10) www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #sportsbiz

We put classical music in the evenings as part of pre-toddler bedtime. Heard a Ludovico Einaudi song I liked, did a bit of research and found this absolutely savage review www.theguardian.com/music/2019/a...

Whoever does win the TV rights to the Six Nations should be obligated to present their coverage from the actual stadium. Especially if it’a primetime on Friday night. #6N #FRAvWAL

Are we still working under the assumption that there will be three teams worse than United come the end of the season? #MUNSOU

Regardless of how this finishes, United have done superbly. #FACup #ARSMUN

Reason #472 for keeping #FACup Replays: I need a lie down #ARSMUN

I can’t believe it took me this long to realise I can play Final Fantasy XIV On Steam Deck…

If you’ve never seen ski jumping before, start with the Four Hills Tournament. Great drama.

Feel like I'm coming down with something. Hard to dell whether the darts or children's birthday parties are the Petri dish that is causing it.

Don’t let me in charity shops. Or on the internet.

Off to Ally Pally for the #WCDarts final. The dream matchup feom a sporting POV as two eras collide (A lot like Taylor v MvG in 2013). Hoping MvG adds to his total tonight though. Littler’s time will undoubtedly come even if it isn’t tonight.

Pretty sure this is the first PDC #WCDarts final to feature the previous two losing finalists in Michael van Gerwen and Luke Littler

I would never have predicted in 2012 that Michael van Gerwen would only have 3 #WCDarts titles by now, but it's testament to the strength in depth in the PDC these days - standards are so high, there's no split with the BDO to dilute the playing pool. And now a youth movement.

Would very much like a kotatsu today

I only played five “new” video games this year (of which 92 hrs was FF7) so: 1. Balatro 2 Astro Bot 3. Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth 4. Dave the Diver 5. College Football 25

Finished Final Fantasy VII Rebirth after 92 hrs. A bit of a slog as I gorged on sidequests (which became a bit formulaic and lacked the right tone) and wish the world was more ‘lived-in’ but it hits all the right notes and looks unbelievable. 8.5 (The original FF7 is still GOAT)

Sir Gareth Southgate - the greatest England manager in my lifetime.

George Elokobi sign at the #WCDarts. You love to see it. #COYS

Imagine not liking darts #WCDarts

Each week you think this is as bad as it can get. And then. #WOLMUN

And for Amazon’s last Man Utd Premier League game, they give the gift of Wes Brown #WOLMUN

I mainly play Animal Crossing in the winter now, just because I love the snow so much. And it is quite the vibe at Christmas

Gavin & Stacey was just outstanding television and one of the great Christmas specials. In a streaming world where audiences are so fragmented, there aren’t many of its kind left.

1/ So, where were we? Oh yep, #duvetknowitschristmas. Firstly, some admin: Twitter/X has evidently been run into the ground by a preening, self-radicalised clot, so while there's a slim possibility that this annual celebration might be thriving over there, I won't know cos I won't be looking.
