Bogarde is excellent. So comfortable on the ball. We made heavier going of it than we should have in the last 15 but great to get another win on the board. Nice to not want an international break seeing as we’ve got momentum. Up the Villa! #AVFC

Word to the wise. If you visit ALDI, and you’re not allergic, get these. I buy loads of them. A woman saw me getting five bags in Leytonstone and said she was going to get some because of my obsession. They’re stupidly cheap, too - usually about 99p a bag. You’re welcome. #ALDI

Why does The Graham Norton Show bring all the guests on at the same time and then make them listen to one person talking for ages? It’s like being at a bus stop where everyone else is quiet and embarrassed while one person talks about themselves incessantly.

Smashing performance. Really open game, so suited our style of play. Bizot was marvellous, but good performances all over the pitch, including McGinn, Buendia, Konsa, and Pau. Up the Euro Villa! #AVFC

Screamed like a child when Lowry drained that putt. Incredible sport. Get a half now, somewhere… #RyderCup

Genuinely horrific. Almost unwatchable. #RyderCup

Hmmm… If I didn’t know better, I’d be suspicious and suggest that PSR is having an impact on the clubs that had the audacity to try and gatecrash the established hierarchy. #AVFC #NUFC #NFFC

Matty Cash has been terrific for the Villa in the last few matches. The Polish Cafu deserves some credit. Such a decent lad, I’m pleased for him. #AVFC

Europe - wow. What a performance. #RyderCup

Well, it’s a win - and right now, that feels massive. #AVFC

The biggest impact of that bloody referee not giving the Rogers goal at Old Trafford is that we’ve got from the Champions League razzmatazz to a commentator I’ve never heard of and Robbie Savage. #AVFC

Outplayed and outfought by 10 men. Some really poor performances again. Simply not good enough. Far too slow. And here’s an idea: try and put a cross in every so often. Not having an alternative to Watkins looks costly. Well played, Sunderland. #AVFC

Just. Too. Slow. #AVFC

John McGinn aside, that was awful. Malen looks lost - I’d carry more danger upfront. The big-name players made us worse when they came on. Rogers kept losing the ball and looked completely disinterested. We even looked rubbish during the penalties. This team needs a kick up the arse. #AVFC

Positives: We scored a goal. Negatives: Just about everything else. #AVFC

The ever-useless Lee Dixon criticises Morgan Rogers and he instantly creates two excellent chances. Standard. #ENG #SRBENG #AVFC

I see Today’s Special at John Lewis is subject to availability. I would imagine there’s likely to be an incredible rush for such special items. Don’t miss out.

Tomorrow is unlikely to go well, either. We have no money. Serious questions need to be asked about how this club has been run. Awful transfer dealings, huge wages, and ridiculous ticket prices to pay for it. Football can change quickly, but we’ve gone from heroes to zeros in record time. #AVFC

Goodness, that was poor. The changes have had no impact whatsoever. I always get worried when it feels like a manager is making changes for the fans rather than himself. I hope that wasn’t the case for Unai. But everyone must be concerned about quite how bad we look. Slow, flat and disjointed. #AVFC

One word to describe that first-half performance: lackadaisical. #AVFC

Did we fast-forward the whole season and the game in the Velodrome was a European final? Tackles flying in everywhere, proper needle, and a packed-out crowd going bananas. Crazy atmosphere for a friendly. #AVFC

What an hour of cricket. What a test. What a series. Chris Woakes, you are an absolute legend. So near, so far. Well played, India. #Cricket #ENGIND #ENG

Good old Ozzy - a great day for Brum. Terrific of the Osbourne family to bring him home.

Absolutely fantastic! Come on you Lionesses! #Lionesses #ENG #ENGESP

Amazing. They never give up. The most likeable sports team on the planet. Michelle Agyemang is the forward player of your dreams. Wins everything and plays so intelligently. Bring on the final! #Lionesses #ENG #ENGITA

We went to the V&A East Storehouse by the Olympic Park in Stratford yesterday. It’s a fascinating twist on the museum experience. It feels like you’re seeing behind the scenes. Lovely space, too. Another great addition to east London. #V&A #Musuems #London #EastLondon

Football, bloody hell…! Worst/best penalty shootout in history. Delighted for Hannah Hampton and the legend Lucy Bronze. What a crazy match. Get in! #Lionesses #ENG #ENGSWE

Test cricket demonstrating again why test cricket is incredible. A session where almost nothing happened and it’s as tense as sport gets. #Cricket #ENGIND #ENG

Job done. Bring on the Swedes! #Lionesses #ENG #ENGWAL

So much better from England. James will get the headlines, and rightly so, but Russo’s been fantastic. Worked so hard. #Lionesses #ENG #ENGNED

Saw this bag in a charity shop in Leytonstone today. Been draeming of it ever since. Powerful stuff.

I’m enjoying Charli xcx because I am a sucker for technologically intense music. I couldn’t care less about autotune or live backing bands or anything like that. I just like things that sound tech-heavy and futuristic. Also, it’s quite something to perform on your tod.

Want to hear the sound of summer? It’s this under-three-minute romp by @whitelands.bsky.social for the ever-excellent @soniccathedral.bsky.social - I snared the flexi. (Incidentally, three minutes is the maximum time for a Eurovision entry. Maybe shoegaze is the way forward for the UK next year..?)

The airwaves will be filled with Brian Wilson’s genius for the next few days and that’s something to celebrate. Here’s to a true musical genius. RIP.

My goodness, that England performance was all kinds of dreadful. What a terrible international break this has been. Boring, slow football, full of errors and low on quality. The only player to benefit from tonight’s showing was Ezri Konsa. Well done Senegal - totally deserved. #ENG #ENGSEN

Matterface, there, trying to show he’s down with the kids and knows about the latest choonz, but ends up making himself look like a complete Matterface. #ENG #ANDENG

What a weird season for the Villa. We beat PSG at Villa Park and, with better defending and finishing, would have won the tie. With hindsight, the missed opportunity from this season wasn’t the FA Cup or the League, it was the quarter final of the Champions League. This could have been us. #AVFC

I see M&S is still having fun with its electronic ordering systems. In Wanstead, there’s a milk section and a wine section that is, err, milk. And lots of it.

Absolutely disgraceful. Livid. #AVFC

Well, that is that. An awful first-half performance compounded by absolute madness from Cash and Martinez. No idea what that first 45 was about. Dreadful. #AVFC

Tottenham have had some great sides over the past 20 years and won nothing. They’ve absolutely garbage this season and they’ve won a European trophy and qualified for the Champions League. Football - make it make sense.

Spurs, the Geordies and Palace all get the monkey off their backs and win a major trophy. Lucky swines. I want one, too. #AVFC

The votes from the Samuels jury: 1. Germany 2. Finland 3. Denmark 4. Latvia 5. Lithuania Out general feeling is that it hasn’t been a vintage year. Too many slow, dreary songs. #Eurovision

The Henderson Cup Final. Congratulations to Palace. The best team in this year’s tournament win their first major trophy. #FACupFinal #CPFC

Congrats to the O’s - going to Wembley. Putting on a show. #LOFC #Orient

I just pulled what I thought was a pen out of my bag and tried to write notes with a toothbrush during an interview. How’s your day going…?

Delighted I took a hit on FPL to get Haaland in…

I really enjoyed the World Championship this year. It felt like an oasis of calm in an increasingly madcap world. Well done to Mark Williams and congratulations to Zhao Xintong - a worthy winner with an incredible arm. The first of many wins, I would think. #Snooker

Nervy but crucial win. Tielemans excellent, but water is wet - he’s great every match. I thought both full backs (Cash, Maatsen) did well. Massive three points. Europe is calling for the third year in a row - let’s make it the Champions League again. Up the Villa! #AVFC
