But hear me out... Who else had a goalkeeping nightmare? 'Rachubka' is Polish for 'counting' and who else counts? Yes, Tom Numbers.

This is on a level with Paul Rachubka. Quite remarkable scenes.

Any reporter who presents a single thing that X says as a statement of fact is a rube, a mug and a shill.

It's the classic case of capital lining up behind fascism when there's a choice between that and a challenge to the existing order.

So the Greens are 'far left' but the AFD are only 'populist right', according to The Economist. Cool...

The Women’s Suffrage Movement was a popular cause in Yorkshire. Leeds-born activist Leonora Cohen (nee Throp) OBE made a high profile protest in February 1913. She smashed a display case in the Jewel House of the Tower of London with an iron bar. She was a passionate campaigner all her life eventually receiving an OBE.

Not sure 'late great Hope Sandoval' is the best way to describe someone who is (I hope) still very much alive.

I'm firmly in the F*ck VAR camp. Those sweet championship goals last season (but hopefully not next) hit much better.

How often do you go to games? It often ruins them for the fans in the stadium, in my experience. We get next to no sense of what's being decided on a screen in some bunker off the M25.

The injunction includes playgrounds, hedges near schools and swimming pool changing rooms, I believe, so that could be tricky for him.

Reform have misspelt 2 out of the 3 Welsh words on their manifesto for Wales.

Nigel Farage and Wales leader Dan Thomas proudly held up the manifesto at the launch yesterday.

On the front cover it reads "Family, community, country," which has been translated to "Teulu, gymnued, wlad."

It was disappointing. I really wanted to see them compete with those old West Ham crowds flooding out towards Stratford 40 minutes in.
