Think Pep should get his tight arse board to get the cheque book out #MUNMCI

Braintree away. Come on the Wood!

New blog out looking back at how Brighton stunned Liverpool at Anfield in the 1983 FA Cup fifth round: that1980ssportsblog.blogspot.com/2026/01/1983... @officialbha.bsky.social #Brighton #BHAFC #LFC

I’m no lover of Man City and all they’ve done to English football. But that VAR decision is an absolute joke! #NEWMCI

I reckon that is the 115th time City have been drawn at home against lower league opposition in the FA Cup since 2011 #FACup #facupdraw

Scoring a hat trick against a Championship club. Disgrace. #PORARS #FACup

At Boreham Wood for the FA Cup match against Burton. Come on the Wood! #FACup

Fair play to Macclesfield. But anyone in that ground with a half and half scarf should not be allowed to celebrate that win #FACup

Starting to think Man Utd should have a guest manager every week like Have I Got News For You do with presenters. So Solskjær this weekend, Keane the next, maybe Scholes at some point. But probably wise to miss out Rooney.

Not sure we need lectures from Neville and Keane on what constitutes a disgrace in football, though. Reyes, Haaland, Southgate, Andy D'Urso are examples where they let themselves down. Keane waited years to do Haaland. Perhaps he should sit this one out.

What Martinelli did last night was wrong and he has apologised. We've all done stupid things in the heat of the moment and then realised that we need to hold our hands up and admit we cocked up. Slot was brilliant in his interview. Calmly explained the situation re time wasting.

Just seen that Jamie Smith dismissal. Speechless really. Probably the worst thing to happen to English cricket since some wise men came up with the idea of destroying August with that ridiculous tournament #Ashes2025

Don Goodman must be gutted! #MCICHE

All I want for Christmas, 1980s style: that1980ssportsblog.blogspot.com/2021/11/1980... Happy Christmas one and all.

Remember when #SPOTY used to be good? Think this will be my last year watching this once great programme. Look at the 1985 BBC Sports Review of the Year. What a show: that1980ssportsblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/1985...

Think this might be my last BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Sadly the programme has gone downhill in recent years. Looking back at the 1985 Review of the Year reminded me of how good it once was: that1980ssportsblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/1985... #SPOTY

Dec 17 Advent Calendar Guy McQuitty shoots +17 in the second round of the 1986 Open Championship. Sadly, on day one he shot +25. But he didn't quit: that1980ssportsblog.blogspot.com/2018/07/1986... #80sSportAdventCalendar #AdventCalendar

Fans in the upper tier at any away ground is rubbish but even more so for a derby #SUNNEW

Dec 9 Advent Calendar Richard Hadlee takes 9/52 in a Test match for New Zealand against Australia: that1980ssportsblog.blogspot.com/2021/12/1985... #AdventCalendar #80sSportAdventCalendar

Steve Smith has cocked this up slightly in my opinion. Started wasting time, adjusting fields, just to make sure they didn't bat tonight. Allowed England to add vital runs here at the end of the day. #Ashes

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! #Ashes

STOP DRIVING AT WIDE MITCHELL STARC DELIVERIES, YOU BELLENDS!! #Ashes

Such sad news about Robin Smith. I still think his 148* for England at Lord's against the West Indies in 1991 is one of the greatest innings I've seen. Such an exciting player to watch. Loved that square cut of his. RIP Judge

He’s started, now he’s finished #Ashes2025

Against some very good bowling, Australia batting sensibly to try and weather the storm. Take note, England. #Ashes2025

Nasser called this during the Headingley Test against India. Brook was caught on the boundary that day hooking and he said doing that in Australia would be foolish with the bigger grounds. But it’s how they play apparently. Idiots. #Ashes2025

Thanks England. No point going back to bed now and you’ve completely ruined my day with your pathetic batting. Nice one. #Ashes2025

It’s hard to tell which is worse - England’s batting performance or the TNT coverage #Ashes2025

There are people in the world who don’t like football! #SCODEN #WorldCupQualifiers #WorldCup2026
