Seriously, if you haven't heard Rosalia, do yourself a favour: turn the telly off, put your phone away and listen to Lux, as loud as possible at this time of night.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Rosalie: Goddess. #BRITS

Tony Benn on voting for war. Not that Parliament will get a vote these days.

Raye is Amy Winehouse without the smack. #BRITS

Public Service Announcemnet: the amazing Rosalia is doing a slot on the BRITS. Hit the loud button. #Brits2026

Two thirds of the electorate have consciously voted against the racists. That’s a big win.

The time honoured cycle of #FiveASide is gradually getting older/slower while the new recruits gradually get younger/faster. Tonight at #FatLadsFooty three of the other side went to school with my son. #Grandad

The impending by-election result nobody can predict will affirm the pre-existing views of everyone.

Nobody paid to explain or understand politics has the first idea what’s going to happen in Manchester tonight. Their guess is, quite literally, as good as yours. And unless the result is a truly comprehensive victory, it will tell us next to nothing about the bigger political picture. Night night x

FT: 1-1. Frustrating again. Nervous #Boro gifted a goal, clawed back a surperb leveller but were laboured & stodgy for long spells & failed to make a lot of shapeless pressure count. Poor decision-making, like a schoolkid guessing at multiple-choice. Making it hard for ourselves. #UTB

Leicester throwing bodies into the gaps in the wall now as #Boro fire in a broadside of venomous shots. #UTB

A couple of half-openings spurned in a frantic spell of #Boro pressure. Wide, high, squirting into another dimension... you can really feel the tension now. #UTB

HT: 1-1. #Boro started brightly then nodded off and let Leicester steal the lead. The game drifted for a while and fans got edgy then a sudden spurt before the break and a brilliant goal and we're back in it. Need to go for the jugular now. No fannying about. #UTB

YES! McGree... but what a ball from Hackney. #UTB #Boro

After a nervous spell, a couple of more promising moments as #Boro fizz balls across the face of goal but lacking conviction and the final killer touch. #UTB

#Boro need to find a shape, tempo and narrative to stamp some authority on this game before it drifts onto the rocks. #UTB

Boro are so Boro. Sigh.

FFS: unchallenged header from cheap free-kick #UTB #Boro

Palpitations as Ayling meanders through the #Boro box, crocheting jump scares together as Leicester men snap at his heels. #UTB

Really bright #Boro opening spell with Foxes pinned down. #UTB

Owwwwwaaaayyyy! #UTB #Boro

Honestly, people talk about ‘Vienna’ being robbed of the number one and ‘Penny Lane’ being robbed of number one, but really ‘Ain’t No Pleasing You’ is the most robbed number one because ‘My Camera Never Lies’ featuring Miss Jay Aston robbed that. youtu.be/-_eiAlo9N68?...

FT. Still nils. Frustrating, frantic, flailing finale as blunt #Boro pin Oxford in their box and swung punch after punch but can't land the crucial blow. Need knuckledusters. Feels like a month ago when they bossed games but just couldn't score. A blip. On to the next one... #UTB

'Soft Southern bastard'. 'Dirty Northern bastards.' 'Going down, going down.' 'Staying down'. Good old school call and response going on while Myles Double-Barrelled gets treatment. #Boro #UTB

Three decent efforts in the last few minutes. #Boro banging on the door like a Victorian debt collector. #UTB

HT: Nils. #Boro bossed possession & had lots of neat but fruitless fluid passages & a few good shots late on but #Oxford gave us some jump-scares on the break & had best chance as Danny Mills' boy rattled the bar. Patience. It'll come. #UTB

Oxford have just rattled the bar with a sizzling shot. Stan Mills, the lad from the 1950s. It's still vibrating now. #Boro #UTB

#Boro almost got caught cold after being camped in Oxford half & they broke away but recovered and moment wasted. Decent start, lively, lots of enterprising movement & strong pressing. Few shots blocked. Enjoying the quicksilver weaving of Sarmiento all across the frontline #UTB

Owwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy! #UTB #Boro #RobbieMustoeDerby

At least the last time #Prince changed his name you knew he was going to bounce back with some fantastic new music.

Every single second of the very public process of throwing Andrew under the golden carriage has been carefully choreographed from the top in a cynical, pragmatic act of damage limitation for the institution as a whole. #Andrew
