What’s that? We’re 42-4, chasing 288 in the pivotal Test of an epic series to decide the best team in the world, with a lad playing his second game in next? I’ll unpack the reverse sweep… Christ alive, Alex Carey 😂 #SAvAUS

Sorry, what? I bet @tommyjordanav has had better Friday nights…
Aston Villa will initiate legal action against Jamie Carragher for his unacceptable insults about the Club and its fans. Aston Villa will not allow anyone to stop our ascension in English and European football. Nassef Sawiris, Chairman

The latest developments re @GatesheadFC are troubling and very sad. The men seemingly in charge of Shoreline Sports are Nigerian businessman Kola Karim and his polo-playing son, Adebayo.

Jury trials are vital. Unless I don't like the verdict.
Tommy Robinson has been found guilty - it is my view that the system has, again, treated him unfairly. We live in dark times.

Six years ago, Yaxley Lennon harassed Byline writers Mike Stuchbery and Tim Fenton so badly that they eventually left the country. (He also promised to pay me a visit!) Anyone condoning these kinds of tactics doesn't believe in a free press. It's a license for thuggery.

Many thanks to @andrewyounger93 and all at @NUFC for welcoming @sunderlanduni first year sports journalism students @ tonight’s U21 derby - with a particular thank you to #NUFC U21 boss Robbie Stockdale for taking the time to take questions from them.

@ U21 Tyne-Wear derby. #NUFC subs (Park & Salia) the difference. Afner Ca an early handful for hosts. Johnny Emerson & Henry Johnson impressive. Miodrag Pivas error for #SAFC 2nd goal (top finish by classy Felix Scott). Despite goals, 2 good keepers on show. Bit of chew. Good fun

My word. Magnificent.
I believe this will be considered one of the most important videos in US history from this time.

Credit where it’s due to the manager. Earned his corn at half-time today. Nico G and BDB also excellent. #NUFC

Steur on for Nico G, given he’s on a yellow. Literally anybody on for Murphy or Willock… #yawn #NUFC

Anyone else completely not bothered by the sight of Overton pulling up? #ENGvPAK

“Here in the UK” … lives in Madrid.
Here in the UK people come here from all over the world and receive free medicine, free dentistry, free housing and a host of other things all free at the expense of the British taxpayer. Yet many of these people criticise Britain, don't like her people and find our culture distasteful. Why these people don't go to a country which has everything they want is puzzling. Perhaps the benefits are overpowering them. For Britain to play host to these people is indeed generous and expensive and its puzzling why the government seem to place their interests before that of the indigenous population. It doesn't seem at all right but one thing is certain. It can't go on because we can't afford it, the country is rapidly dividing itself into areas and sooner or later civil disturbances will arise. We are desperately in need of a competent government but you know what. . . . .we don't have one now nor is there one waiting in the wings. What a crock it is!

Curran must never play for England again. And, sorry to say, Alex Hartley in the TMS commentary box should also go. Both honkingly bad. No idea what this says about the captaincy moving forwards… #ENGvSRI

What has Curran got on the @englandcricket management? Insanity from Brook to keep him on. Genuinely lunatic stuff. #ENGvsSRI

When you have two of the most absurdly overrated cricketers in history in the same team (S Curran and J Overton), shit happens. #ENGvsSRI @englandcricket

Hug your kids tonight if they let you, & never forget the contempt & callousness with which the working class who powered this country were once treated - even by a Labour govt (£150k taken from the disaster's compensation fund to clear the site). #Aberfan bbc.co.uk/news/live/crd930p8…

Grifting lardboy here not only not knowing what to “purge” means, but trying to use his ignorance as a weapon is glorious.
GB News is absolutely deranged. This is superb.
