Ummmm… C’est bon ou pas bon? Thought we’d had our one and only broken back moment in 2014.

Brilliant news, after 25+ years of campaigning for this.

Right then. Charity Shield!

Lovely jubbly

This is a Watkins situation, not a Burn situation

Look I’m sitting here actually supporting England, don’t show me a clip of those two

Declan, please, go and lie down for a couple of days with a pack of lemsip

Outstanding. Marc Guehi took me out. www.instagram.com/reel/DamqSbB...

Meslier & Kepa should be great for the squad, so long as the manager doesn’t feel obliged to field them in genuinely important high-stakes games. We’re champions, we have the leverage. These are squad positions & our (far superior) no1 keeper should start as often as possible.

Curry goat for dinner but they only had white rice left. Pleasure/pain, don’t know what to think or feel

The club has made next season’s digital tickets GOLD. I like this.

I hate to inflict this man on you, but this is extraordinary in its ignorance of football and the rules of the game, and essentially says he called in a favour from 'Johnny' Infantino to get the suspension overturned. This is genuine disgrace. www.reddit.com/r/soccer/com...

Morning England fans

Right, sleep. Upon waking I expect to hear that all our players made it through the night safe and well. (And ideally that Mexico were eliminated)

Did Dicko just say he took a penalty v Parma in the 1994 CWC final?

Just leaving this here

What a stint from the little man. Will go down as one of the best transfers under Arteta and rightly so. Leadership, quality end product and he deserves a hero’s farewell for that West Ham goal alone. Loved him.

Attn 38 year old Bsky users in London, does anyone want 2xRobyn tickets at the O2 tonight for free.

Quit watching the football and get yourself a platinum Amex with this link: you’ll receive 80,000 membership points straight up, and most importantly the warm glow of knowing that I get 25,000 points for referring you. #helpgingers #consumerism #nicethings americanexpress.com/en-gb/referr...

This city

Build up made in Arsenal. Saka to Eze to Rice. Decent cross from Princess Di. Easy.

Great player, I’ve awards said that

All about the Declan pre-assist 👌

WHERE WAS THIS REF IN ALL THOSE NORTH LONDON DERBIES?

We’ve all been there

Covering your mouth < uncovering your ass

With the usual caveat that this stuff is personal, I’ve been surprised by the strength of feeling from seemingly quite a few fans over the Xhaka move. His career at the Arsenal went from terrible to very good, in a feelgood way. I enjoyed it, sure - but he’s not a club legend and it’s not sp*rs.

London’s getting to the point where even I’m tired of seeing Arsenal shirts

Harry Kane uses AI to do a barbecue.

When "right" is wrong. Did anyone think this "goal" was offside when it was "scored"? According to the letter of the current law, it is. The problem, here, is the isolation of a single, ephemeral moment in a continuum - a continuum in which Iran derived no advantage from Khalilzadeh's position.

Dani Ceballos quitte le Real Madrid après neuf ans au club

Temperature hits 37.3C Before this week Britain had never recorded a June temperature above 36C

Looks like a bum deal

Wore a replica England shirt for the Ghana match. Let me tell you, that is NOT a breathable fabric. 100% polyester? In this weather? Forget about it. I don't know how all the Arsenal fans do it every day

The met office want to know why I describe their forecast as ‘not at all accurate’

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.

Morning Blueskyers. Declan knows...

GOONERS, A CALL FOR HELP. My mate Dan suffers from vertigo, so naturally he’s jumping out of a plane for charity. He’ll be alongside a *Chelsea* supporting colleague who’s currently raised more than him. Please rectify the situation by giving generously www.justgiving.com/page/dan-tho...

Une Rolls et un tank 😅 👌

Somewhat disturbing to realise that two decades have past since I had this suit made. Didn’t know what to choose for the inside flourish, when asked, so panicked and went gold for the Invincibles and then, lol, just listed our season ticket block number.

The FT covering day one in the correct way, IMO - strong, accurate and pertinent.

About to have steroid injected into my knee. Naturally, I waited until pre-season.

One month ago today, I took this photo specifically because I knew how well it would age.
