Morning everyone.

Liverpool are going to be riotously entertaining this season. Not sure it’s going to be good for the old heart, though

Absolutely !!!insane!!! to me that the UK government, lobby and newspapers litigate at length every minor infraction by the BBC, rival newspapers, or what some random columnist has posted. But all of them just carry on not even commenting about this media owner. He’s not hiding, he’s telling you!

The fact that Tyler Robinson was raised a Mormon will become as significant as the shitposting gaming memes he carved on his bullets

For everyone who now needs a quick education on the extreme far right wing Groyper movement that has been out to get Charlie Kirk for not being far right enough for years, here you go. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groypers

Julian Cope on #totp. Once we were a country

A biting critique of Thatcher’s Britain by UB40. Or woke nonsense, as it’s now known #totp

John Foxx is one of those lads who started out a bit weird and a bit great, then got weirder and greater #total

It’s been nearly 35 years but I still feel like we haven’t recovered from that fucking song being number 1 for a million years #totp

Utah Saints. The third best band to come out of the Morley blip and bleep scene #totp

Tbh, they should just have let Prince write everyone’s songs #totp

I keep reading that it was Linehan’s views which cost him his marriage. I dunno, I’m no expert etc, but maybe his wife just came to the conclusion he was a colossal prick?

SHIT! DID YOU SEE THAT? #lfc

Reform will have to reselect in Croydon, as their initial candidate for Mayor had been dead for 6 months when they selected her, Inside Croydon report Being dead is one way to pass the social media vetting but was likely to get noticed eventually insidecroydon.com/2025/08/27/f...

Turned on the telly and Tinseltown in the Rain made my heart stop for about the 1,454th time

Sorry to see Big Daz leave #lfc. Farewell you crazy bastard

England could and probably should have won that. But on the other hand, after arseing up selection, and Woakes missing the entire 2nd half of the match, you can argue they did bloody well to get as close as they did

Gah. What a game though. And what a series. 2-2 sounds about right

Hmm. Not sure it’s worth Woakes going though this

Unreal effort by Siraj. And he gets a new rock in a couple of overs

This could be torture #thecricket

Never doubted Bashir

Can definitely do without Siraj turning into Geoff Boycott tbh

Ball soft, pitch dead - need one that rolls. Anything to end this torture

Jadeja is very good and very annoying. He’s going to win them this

Getting Edgbaston 2023 vibes from this …

Not sure about going to spin this late …

Jadeja is very good and very annoying. He’s going to win them this

Doris needs to take himself off here before he blows his pipe

Mistake to start with Jofra not Carse imo

Just a thought - imagine how good Matthew Maynard would have been for England under the current regime. We do forget how crushingly crap we were for so many years and how good, attacking players were either not given a proper go or ruined. Not now.

The new Van Morrison album - surprisingly - is very good. The final track is up there with anything he’s done. Proper, proper great.

Good shithousing for India to send in a nightwatchman for a bloke who’s spent half the match sitting on his arse in the dressing room

Crawley has to be dropped but I’m struggling to think of anyone out there who can come in. After two test of watching poor old Dom Sibley’s technique wilt again, you’ll all be asking for Zak back for a crack

Hugely enjoying the “why oh why” comments on Harry Brook’s batting. As someone endured some rotten England cricket teams from the late 70s through to the early 2000s, I’ll gladly take this.

Just noticed there’s a look of Joe Root in Jah Wobble #totp

Blimey. This is a great bit of investigative journalism

A hundred before lunch. Brilliant by Jamie Smith (who should obviously be batting ahead of Doris)

“When the time is right, we will celebrate Diogo Jota, we will remember his goals and we will sing his song. For the time being, we will remember him as a unique human being and mourn his loss. He will never be forgotten. His name is Diogo.” 💔 #LFC #YNWA www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/footba...

I know they’ve won some games doing it, but it’s madness for England to keep putting sides in on flat decks.

This Neil Young set has been impeccably picked by the old sod. Singalong acoustic swayers in the middle of *a lot* of shredding and heavyosity. Brilliant

Hmm… #thecricket

I know a few England fans are gung-ho but we’d have to bat unbelievably well - and India bowl really poorly - to win this. Can’t see it tbh

Brian Wilson eh? There won’t be another like him, ever. youtu.be/lpd4jzKA4SA?...

A familiar problem for London’s club cricketers. Shocking lack of foresight from West Indies not to have a couple of lads take public transport and be there in time to toss up

Mad

Lots of great Norm entrances This is one of the best. youtu.be/4L_vWpTAra8?...
