Aside from anything else, FWIW I enjoyed that. Football is supposed to be fun for us amateurs and that game was undeniably entertaining, from both teams.

Oh well. This was always a hiding to nothing. PSG are top drawer so no surprise to lose by two goals. Plenty of positives, but recurring negatives. We go from defensively solid to suicidally open in the blink of an eye.

‘Spursy’ = lazy, for people who don’t actually pause to think what it means (answer: nothing).

Equaliser apart so much better. Tempo, attitude, teamwork. The goal was a beauty, and shows what these players are capable of. Going to be very hard 2nd half.

A depleted Spurs team, out of form, low on confidence, humiliated just three days ago, are about to play the European champions, one of the most thrillingly attack-minded teams in recent history. What could possible go wrong?

'Who are the winners and the losers?' runs the familiar, facile, reductionist refrain in reporting on the budget. If the country wins or loses, then everybody does, no? For eg, if hundreds of thousands of kids are lifted out of poverty...

Haven't heard every interview with someone from Reform about the budget, but in every one I have the questioner has failed to raise Brexit. This is a chronic failure of political journalism.

This is exactly what I imagine Bugged Out at Bognor Butlins in March will be like, and I can't wait.

Chris Mason - an 'unsung hero' according to Gibb - trails his 6pm news report with a [paraphrase] weary complaint about everyone being fed up with hearing about the budget. The same Chris Mason who [checks notes] has been endlessly mooning over it for the last month or more.

Good that there's going to be a tax on sugary milky drinks. Can the govt also introduce mandatory on the spot fines for people who order glorified milkshakes in coffee establishments, please (h/t to whoever posted similar a while back and planted the idea).

Times headline: ‘BBC failing to tackle systemic bias, says author of leaked memo’. In fact, when asked by MPs, this man, Michael Prescott, said he didn’t believe the BBC was institutionally biased. The Times failed to quote that, in an article about the issue of truthful reporting.
