Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

So good to have Jason and Osi back presenting an NFL highlights show in the UK again. Watch it on YouTube here: youtu.be/wPYr4pzbrRE?...

On the same day in the Telegraph:

So in the end, only two of these things happened. Hedges extended, and Buckley sold. 😟To say I am worried is an understatement. Looking forward to hearing from the club in the podcast with fans' questions, which is a step forward in fan communications. I think it will need heavy editing!

At least we will be a real challenge in FM26 this year!

Attention Blackburn Fans! Burnley are 13/8 to finish bottom of the Premier League this season with BetWay. One of the few easy wins we can take this season

this week’s column (new thursday slot!) is on the deeply strange world of fantasy premier league, and an essential tension at the heart of the game: do football’s subcultures enrich the appeal of the sport or dilute it? www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/a...

Blackburn fans I am selling at 9-12-month home infant kit on Vinted for £10 www.vinted.co.uk/items/672528...

I would have Tuipulotu and Jones in the centres and Morgan at 7 and move Curry to 8. Otherwise looks good

Someone in the comms team at Wimbledon is having a lot of fun writing these Royal Box daily roll calls www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/news/a...

Initially, it was a bit meh, but this kit is growing on me. I will probably still wait for the special 150th kit instead

This is spot on: "Good promotions that connect stars and fans change mindsets and nurture true fandom: fans who want to go to the races not only to bet, drink and be seen, but also to see their heroes, be close to them and share in their triumphs and defeats."

Current best odds for Blackburn Rovers next season in the Championship: Winner: 50/1 Promotion: 14/1 I can't find any bookmaker with a relegation market live yet. It will be interesting to see what odds that will be priced at ...

It is essential to watch this harrowing documentary. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Excellent tip. Thanks @zonal-marking.bsky.social

Do you have experience of 24hr slot machine shops (adult gaming centres) such as Merkur, Admiral, Cashino, Game Nation, Little Vegas etc? Keen to hear from customers and/or staff who are willing to talk to me. Will be 100% confidential unless you say otherwise.

Looking at the Rovers squad, here is what I would do heading into next season: Trigger one-year extension: Hedges, Hyam, Markanday (and try and sell) New contract: 1 year - Baath, Weimann multi-year - Travis, Tronstad, Brittain Sell: Buckley, Pears Loan: JRC, Batty, Leonard

It’s always the hope that kills you with Blackburn Rovers. Kargbo and Dennis lack of match sharpness at the end was telling. Onto next season and who knows how the Venky’s can find new ways to destroy our club

Blackburn fans give this great interview with David Dunn a listen. It covers his England cap, his career regrets, his move to Birmingham, and not speaking to Valencia. He also talks about his son Issac and his potential at Blackburn open.spotify.com/episode/5mow...

An informative and important listen open.spotify.com/episode/6G6F...

Troy Deeney talks some absolute rubbish here, about £20 million being a good price for Adam Wharton. He is living in the dark ages if he thinks recruitment teams only look at goals and assists. So out of his depth x.com/KidderStNois...

Well done Blackburn Rovers fans uniting together to come up with this strong approach. Will be interesting to see what the atmosphere will be like in the away end at Fratton Park tomorrrow

Having three young kids and living on the South Coast means my first Rovers game this season will be Portsmouth away. Just as our season is basically over 😆😢

This is spot on from Tim Poole at Gambling Insider.

New formation is not working. Players don't look up for it. Eustace leaving has killed our season. Thanks Venkys

TNT Sports have announced a grassroots initiative to encourage cycling use, as the broadcaster becomes the home of 2500 hours of elite racing. I don't know. Perhaps the way to support grassroots is to put more cycling (such as the Tour) on free-to-air, rather than a big paywall?

Latest bookies odds for Blackburn manager

Next manager odds markets are always quite niche and a little bit of betting money can move prices a lot. So, don't read too much about price changes so far. Current odds: Carsley 11/4 Gary O'Niel 5/1 Rob Edwards 8/1 Ryan or David Lowe 10/1 Richie Wellins 10/1 www.oddschecker.com/football/foo...

A cathartic listen

Smart of Eustice and his team to get their version of events to the Lancashire Telegraph before the club released this. I wonder what the view in the dressing room is of the owners with statements like this. Can't be a coincidence that nobody in the squad is signing a new contract

Spot on from Elliott Jackson www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/249223...

It's a classic day of being a Blackburn fan. Should be being positive about the promise of the new signings of Dennis and Kargbo. As well as having pace in the side. Instead, we worried about whether Venky’s are going to let another good manager leave us

This episode is the best one yet. A takedown of Brewdog's James Watt and excellent analysis of the Traitors season three.

A must read. The Football Manager wonderkid get The Transfer Flow assessment.

Heathrow gets its green light – but let's be clear, this is just the start of another absolutely monster phase of back and forth that will take years, maybe decades, and will cost billions upon billions before a spade gets anywhere near the ground www.ttgmedia.com/news/breakin...
