I'm old enough to remember when the entire British right had a month long meltdown about "foreign interference" when Obama said something mildly disobliging about Brexit. The Trump administration pouring millions of dollars into far right political groups in the UK? Not a peep

The greatest

The World Cup half-time show changes the fabric of the match for pure guff. This is the crime those in power continue to commit: football is not a vehicle for other entertainment. Grow up or piss off. inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

I can’t say how much I’m looking forward to listening to and reading this book by Dan - brilliant historian, writer and bloody nice chap - x.com/northumbrian...

The rot at FIFA has gone too far. Under Infantino, political greed has completely broken the game we love. We can't just watch from the sidelines anymore, the FA and our European partners need to walk away and build a fair, clean alternative from scratch. It’s time to move on.

I give up - Liz Truss just made parody accounts redundant.

I was looking at the goals Pickford has conceded earlier. Top image is shots faced from outside the box at this World Cup, the bottom is the same for a Premier League season. Seems he can be beaten at times to his right from range without it being hit into the corner.

Found this on Twitter too. I think Pickford is being greedy re: Line of Sight personally.

This is what happens when a politician somehow doesn’t WhatsApp every detail to the Lobby / corporate backers / billionaire paedophiles, and it’s driving them fucking *mental* www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I live in Clacton and have been posting this plea everywhere today.

Burnham must condemn

AND it’s the 109th anniversary of the birth of dirty limerick writer (and historian) Bob Conquest

It’s not the f***ing Superbowl!🤬🤬

There's a good reason that I lied about being refused any state security when in fact I'd been offered a bodyguard, a car & a trained driver, on a par with a high profile cabinet member. It's because I didn't want anyone seeing what i get up to and how little work I do.

I made this because as far as I can see nobody else has?

Hamstring Injury: Missed 9 games from February 16, 2026, to February 24, 2026 (9 days). Fitness: Missed 15 games from July 19, 2025, to August 2, 2025. Total: He missed a total of 121 days and 17 games during the 2025/26 season due to four separate injury/fitness incidents.

Rumours abound that Newcastle United’s captain, Bruno Guimarães, will be the next big name player to leave St James’ Park. Financial regulations have been blamed, which has puzzled many fans after the big money sales of Isak, Gordon and Tonali, but is that really the case? #NUFC

Ironic, a cartoon character has more wisdom than the entire tRump clown cabinet combined

Nicely put. #NUFC

Russia is inflaming the debate on immigration in Britain as part of “increasing ambitions to disrupt our way of life”, counter-terror police and experts say It has directly and indirectly paid right-wing influencers to spread messages that align with its political goals inews.co.uk/news/putin-i...

I don't think I've ever seen a group of people take a joke quite as badly to heart as this lot have this week

Absolute cretins on twatter think Bruno's dad is talking about #nufc, and not the penalty miss and threats hes getting from Brazil fans.. 🤦‍♂️

“undeclared £5 million tax-free gift from Christopher Harborne, which coincided with a massive pro-crypto policy push from Reform and apparently an effort to directly lobby the governor of the Bank of England towards policies that would benefit the crypto industry.” bylinetimes.com/2026/07/10/t...

"Andy Pryce, a recently retired diplomat who spent a decade tracking Russian influence operations, warned in Byline Times that it would only cost roughly £25 million for a hostile foreign state to buy an election." I just want to point out that the UK is cheap because of its FPTP electoral system.

Actual footage of every penalty run up in the World Cup.

🚨 NEW from @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social Britain backs Binface 🚨 When asked who they would prefer win the Clacton by-election... 33% say Count Binface 21% say Nigel Farage 32% say neither 13% are undecided

Richard Tice?

The Great Tapestry of Scotland in Galashiels is a brilliant 21st century creative collaborative and brilliant achievement and you can go on the Borders Railway. I hope it's boosted by the Bayeaux effect

Well this sounds like lies as everyone on #NUFC side saying they haven't heard from Arsenal 🤷‍♂️

5 years today we lost Jackie Charlton. During the miners strike 84-85 he lent the NUM NUFC-owned cars for people to get out and picket. A great man. theleftberlin.com/jack-charlto...

I wonder when Mbappe and Dembele get sent off…

Japanese scientists have confirmed a monumental discovery: asteroid Ryugu contains all 5 nucleobases essential for DNA and RNA. By analyzing 5.4 grams of material returned by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft, researchers identified adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil in similar proportions.

He knows he's going down, then

Absolutely Horrible, but my contact in Brazil who knows him (ex international) thinks he's slowing down and will decline in the next couple of seasons. From a hard, cold pro point of view he thinks we should sell now and get in decent money while we can. Still hurts way too much though.

So, um... ‘happy’ sixth birthday, Nazi Bar Parable

Nigel Farage vs "the establishment" He went to private school, worked as a stockbroker, has been a professional politician for 31 years, has his own TV show, is a brand ambassador for gold, is mates with POTUS, accepted a secret £5m gift, and owns five houses bought outright with cash What a rebel

The Belgian players doing the Trump dance in the locker room after beating the USA is hilarious! 😂😂😂
