I get it that Forest are in relegation trouble in the league but I don't understand why there are so many changes to the team. Some are injuries but resting players seems crazy to me for such an important game

Finished watching Treme last night. I'd watched most of the first two seasons when they came out but had never seen the rest. A really underrated gem of a show

I understand that there is a lot of demand for England test match tickets these days, but the cost is crazy now. I guess I won't be watching New Zealand next year after all

Just looking on the ICC app and noticed that Argentina play Brazil - at cricket - on Friday. At a place called the St Albans Club in Corimayo

Weird to think that the first Ashes test should be finishing about now

And to keep on until the inevitable condescension. The "well you wouldn't" or the "love" to Mishal Husain is his biggest tell, and he does it consistently when he's pressed.

The great thing about this is the fearless interviewer. Imagine if all journalists were fearless seekers of truth instead of folding in the face of Farage's prickly blustering.

This match report is every bit as good as I hoped it would be

Looking forward to the Derby della Madonnina. Could be a hugely important game

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Off to the Dripping Pan again today. Might be a cold one - true fans only!

This sums up why so many people of 'a certain age' still love Italian football

Only just woken up and listening to the end of the test. Looking forward to watching Travis Head in the highlights later

TMS commentators talking about the England bowlers looking tired a short time ago. They've barely had enough time to warm up today!

I don't think it's just his moustache, but Travis Head is one of my favourite cricketers

I've said this many times before but, compared to former footballers, former cricketers provide so much more insight into the game you're watching on TV

Worst PM at worst possible time. We needed a PM who was boring,grey but paid attention to detail & listened to advice (see Mark Drakeford).Instead,we had a liar,charlatan+clown who liked the idea of being PM but avoided the job’s reality. 23,000 lives. Johnson,Cummings & Hancock are still at large.

Bosnia at home and then Italy or Northern Ireland at home. I'll take that

There are so many other examples but silencing media opposition is one of the most obvious of an autocratic and fascist state www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Still a chance that Wales will have to play Turkey for a place at the World Cup. That would make for an 'interesting' atmosphere in my house

This photo makes it look like Stokes is meekly handing the ashes to Australia

Just catching up with the rest of the world cup results from last night. Haiti and Curacao both qualify

What a goal. There could well be more Scottish players at Italian clubs than actual Italians at next year's world cup

The new Wakes kit looks a bit better on but I'm still not convinced. A win will make it the best ever though, I'm sure

Surely a case of 'when', not 'if'... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You'll miss it when it's gone

Rewatching Treme and have nearly finished the second season. I didn't get to watch the third and fourth as I didn't have sky back then. Underrated gem of a TV show with incredible music

The fact that Badenoch clearly likes these new Labour asylum policies and is offering Tory votes to get them through Parliament should be a tiny bit of a red flag.

This rancid trash understands the significance of Labour's anti-refugee policies.

Instead of an expanded world cup, can we just have Scotland playing Greece every day for a month?

Scotland-Greece games are always dramatic

You'd never know that it was Greece that has nothing to play for. They're all over Scotland

Just had an email excitedly telling me there were now some tickets available for the NBA game in London next year. Checked and the cheapest is £90, with most others at least £160 and upwards. I guess I won't be going then

$7,000 for a cat. A ticket for the WC final. Over seven times what it cost for a similar ticket at the Euro 2024 final, almost five times what was charged at Qatar 2022. Too much is never enough for Gianni Infantino.

Starmer is fucking useless but the names put forward as possible replacements are even worse. Labour is fucked

Really like the sound of Lina Khan... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Another midweek game at the Dripping Pan tonight. Good to get a quick chance to keep the ball rolling. Another win would put Lewes on the cusp of the playoff spots

Call the fucker's bluff BBC News - Trump threatens BBC with legal action over Panorama speech edit www.bbc.com/news/article...

The BBC just doesn't help itself. Asking Kelvin MacKenzie for his views on the latest 'crisis' is beyond ridiculous

Great article by @barneyronay.bsky.social calling out the links between UAE (and therefore Man City) and the atrocities in Sudan

Of all the things the UK could take inspiration from Denmark, it's their racist immigration system www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Back to the Dripping Pan today against the league leaders. Would be good to keep Craig Nelson's unbeaten run going

Caught the end of the Phoenix game. They really need to be able to see off a team down to nine men. But it's so good there's a NZ derby now (even if the Nix can't seem to win it)

The BBC seems really keen on mentioning the race or background of people accused of crime these days

Forest playing Sturm Graz tonight. We beat them in the 1983/4 UEFA Cup quarterfinals before Anderlecht bribed the ref to beat Forest in the semis

Looking forward to the game at San Siro. Roma could go top with a win

Also: when the Premier League is bad, it is absolutely miserable. Egos and bullshit, crap football and terrible refereeing. It’s as unwatchable as Spurs were this evening.

Shame this wan't played at the Basin Reserve. Doesn't sound like the crowd was very big www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/n...

According to The Guardian, "The former Duke of York is in line to receive a large one-off payment and an annual stipend designed to prevent him overspending in his new life as a commoner". Getting free money in order to not overspend? Nice work if you can get it

Carl Wilson, writing about the new Springsteen film - "As usual with almost any biopic, I suspect it all would have worked better as a documentary" Think he might be on to something
