It was a proud moment during the last World Cup when footage of fans in Leeds celebrating an England goal and not a drop of beer was thrown in the air.

DR Congo were fantastic. Used every ounce of their ability and energy. #ENGDRC

Harry Kane is not just a great opening track on Desire but a decent footballer. #ENGDRC

If that was a penalty I'm June Whitfield. #ENGDRC

Is Jack Harrison the England crossing coach? #lufc #ENGDRC

Seems Djed Spence's time keeping isn't restricted to off the pitch. #lufc #ENGDRC

Pickford should have saved that. #ENGDRC

Visited the BYD showroom. The Dolphin Surf is their smallest model. It is about the same size as the 1981 VW Golf Mk1 we owned years ago. Some of the other models are huge. Why do cars need to be so big?

Obviously I want England to do well but the build up to tonight has none of the nerve shredding anxiety of a club game. #lufc

Any news about the goalkeepers in the teams we play?

A France v Mexico #WorldCup final would be both good for football and bad for Donald Trump's blood pressure. Bring it on.

Miss Ewell in Please Sir!

In terms of reach, I think the Greatest Living Yorkshireman has passed from David Hockney to Erling Harland.

Benn was a minister in 1977 when Jim Callaghan launched Operation Journeyman. Submarines were sent to the South Atlantic in response to noises in Argentina. The operation deterred an invasion of The Falklands. Benn didn't resign.

Tony Benn also said the first duty of a government is to make its citizens feel safe.

I wonder if those piling into Pascal Struijk for moving to a new job for more money have never done the same. Eight years is around half of a footballer's career. Give the lad a break. #lufc

Pascal Struijk is no different to any other worker. After 8 years you can feel like a change of scene and some new challenges. Brighton is a good club in a nice place. Good luck to him. He can leave #lufc with his head held high.

Self before side, every time. If true, what a sad little story.

The round of 32 is turning into the equivalent of the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Some of the bigger teams are facing lesser ones who are playing out of their skin. It's been surprisingly brilliant so far. Hope England are watching and learning. #WorldCup

Ao will be guaranteed a huge reception at Elland Road next season. He's one of ours and a good man. Hope Cunha does, too. He deserves one. #lufc

My daughter in law is attending a meeting at my old university. She sent me a photo. I hardly recognised the place, I graduated in 1979, but at least I could give her directions to a huge C&A store nearby.

To my embarrassment, I'd never heard of The Night of the Long Knives, Operation Barbarossa, Verdun and many other huge events of the 20th Century before listening to this LP in 1975. Could name lots of Kings and Queens, though. The school history curriculum was shite.

Excellent letter in next week's Radio Times. Culprits are Mason, Coates, Rigby and Jon Craig.

If they had stopped going to Starbucks they need never have worked. A bit of background research would reveal that the story is yet another in the line of the rich advising the poor on managing money.

The fact that Chris Mason is a terrible writer seems to have gone under the radar. He had zero written journalism experience prior to his appointment. Why doesn't the first paragraph read "In the ten days since the by-election I've noticed two things" Not the tortuous prose Mason has written

Can't think of any other LP that is a history lesson as well as a collection of good music. The Last Day of June 1934 must be one of the best songs written about the Night of the Long Knives, 92 years ago today.

Chris Mason attempting analysis is like watching a chimp trying to knit. #r4today

Just wish Graham Taylor was still around to comment "does he not like that" as Ronald Koeman sees the Netherlands lose the penalty shootout to Morocco.

Further evidence the tectonic plates of UK politics are starting to shift. We appear to have, fingers crossed, reached peak Farage.

Notice a number of people in the US on my TL are developing an interest in soccer, as they call it. It's a good thing but not if the game becomes four quarters and penalty shootouts are in every drawn game.

Well thank you very much, Penny.

Ao, o no. #BRAJAP #lufc

Allison, his aim was true.

What a goal by Japan. Lovely stuff. #BRAJAP

Casemiro's tackle was a leg breaker. #BRAJAP

My favourite Northern faux pas is when a hack from the Telegraph confused Dewsbury and Didsbury. As a matter of fact, there are no artisan cheese shops in Ravensthorpe.

Every few weeks, I listen to a Beatles Playlist as background. It is still as thrilling to listen to their music as it was watching them on Scene at 630 on Granada in early 1963.

Burnham's first policy is to replace Chas n Dave music on national radio with Brian and Michael.

Badenoch delights in telling us that she tells it as it is. The issue is that we don't have a clue what the "it" is she's telling us.

Respect to Andy Burnham for denying questions at the end of his speech. By doing so, he forced Chris Mason and Co to do some analysis rather than pump out irrelevant Westminster chatter and gossip.

"There's enough material here for a whole conference" (Psychiatrist on #FawltyTowers)

Andy Burnham announces a new minister for The North.

It's unlikely Badenoch will lead the Tories in a General Election campaign. If she does, it will be TV Gold.

In 1975, I told my mates I preferred Margot Leadbetter to Barbara Good. I was the subject of piss taking for weeks. I was right. Penelope Keith was a wonderful actress and, by all accounts, a wonderful person. #RIP

The very last sporting tournament the BBC will hang on to is Wimbledon. The interviews with those queuing for tickets or on Henman Hill experiencing the hardship of warm Bucks Fizz will always be with us, unfortunately.

Around the number of people queuing for a payphone at 5.55pm in a university hall of residence in the mid 1970s.

I want to apologise for my irrational hatred of Jesse Marsch. It turns out it's perfectly rational. #lufc

England could have won this by playing normal Test cricket against a bowling attack held together by elastaplast and bandages. Stokes should have been prevented from opening the batting and playing like there were three overs left. #ENGNZ

Thousands of Mail on Sunday readers, particularly in the south of England, will be appalled and baffled by the main story. How can a house only go up in value by £90,000 in THIRTY THREE years? It's unbelievable.
