Mostly here to talk Spurs (and a bit of cricket)
#BoybandsForever is a terrific bit of telly, great range of talent and tells the real sometimes difficult stories behind the glitz and glamour.
But my main takeaway is - what have Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell done to their faces?

We had a go. That's all we ask for.
Surely, surely he realises we can't play the double pivot anymore in the Prem.

What Tottenham did last season is none of your business. You worry about what they do this season. And what they’ve done this season is play shit football and had two of the worst performances I’ve ever seen in their two biggest derbys. Fuck you, man

Indeed. The women have a manager who's both a) made us more solid and b) has an idea about attacking patterns that don't involve throw-ins
For those of you who only watch the men, do yourself a favour and switch to watching the women.

I'll say it again. Murderball, Anti Football, parking the bus. Whatever you call it is only the right tactic if you get a result.
We have played like a newly promoted team hoping to get a flukey point away at a title challenger, instead of a team trying to win a vital derby at our biggest rivals.

Get on this ahead of the #Ashes so no need to go back to the Nazi site to get your cricket fix 🏏
I set up two cricket starter packs after the first mass exodus. They are a mix of official accounts, journalists, commentators, passionate amateurs and enthusiastic followers. You'll also find feeds in there and using 🏏 #Cricket and tournament hashtags
Cricket Starter Packs are now live.

Almost got sucked in to giving DAZN silly money to watching Benn Eubank after consuming a few good previews & pods. Swerved a bullet.
Pay enough already to watch lethargic professionals flatter to deceive at that stadium

Another WSL north London derby incoming, another complete desert of comms to me as a men's ST holder promoting the game/tickets. Brisbane Road will no doubt be full of Arsenal fans. Surprised Venkateshum hasn't addressed this, such an easy win #thfc

This is excellent and gets to the crux of the problem with much of UK media now - senior management are inherently right-wing but genuinely think they are 'neutral' and that other people are the problem
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.
New piece from me.

Still, never seen him and Kulu in the same room.
Southampton have sacked Will Still with the side 21st in the Championship following the 2-0 loss to Preston.😇
