The sheer scale of media outrage this week about plans to lift hundreds of thousands children out of poverty, by taxing millionaire homeowners, tells you everything you need to know about the real priorities of the British press

Sounds like our season in microcosm, ruthless finish from Derby, we’ve plenty of possession but lacking thrust and connections up front. Good for Hellberg to see it in the wild. Next goal CRUCIAL. Come on Boro!!! #utb

I have just spent ages trying to think of the title of a very famous Marilyn Monroe film only to keep returning to “It Ain’t Half Hot Mum”. I’m partially blaming @bobfischer.bsky.social for this.

I mean this feels more anti-Semitic than an old woman carrying a sign that says ‘Free Palestine’ but maybe I’m wrong.
"My most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me, knowing that I was Jewish, saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas em' and that was frequently followed by imitating the sound of escaping gas."

Well, it was. Head’s gone after that lucky rebound and despite rattling Coventry and playing REALLY well ourselves, we’re done. Breathless stuff. Conway should have scored. After the equaliser, we had the game in the palm of our hand and PFFT gone. #utb
Conwaaaaarrrrrrrrrgh!!! There’s a knockout blow somewhere but was that our chance? #utb

Can’t work that first half out. Two great Coventry goals, probably could have had another, but then we’ve made some excellent chances and could easily be level. Some better final balls from both sides might be the difference in the second half. #utb

Unreal cross from Grimes and an unstoppable header… Incredible from Coventry. Hope the heads don’t drop because we started so brightly #utb

Couple of chances to stop that counter attack and we didn’t take them. That said, an unreal hit from Simms. No-one’s stopping that #utb

Browne playing in a back three, wing backs bombing on already, McGree poking about behind Conway… Interesting set up which I wouldn’t have called after seeing the line up #utb

Tonight is all about thanking Adi for getting us some points during a very tricky time. Would take a draw, we’ve got a few injuries and Coventry are full of threat. Would love it if some insider Adi knowledge tipped the scales #utb

Asked again and again whether he ever racially abused his fellow pupils, as 20 people at his old school have now said he did, Nigel Farage will only say that he never did so in a "hurtful way" or "with intent"

Still a valuable point there. I know Oxford have been struggling but we were really left in the lurch when Edwards went. Take a point, move on #utb
Conway is a hardworking presser who should thrive under Hellberg but Burgzorg and Whittaker should be looking over their shoulders (and not just at the players they should be marking or pressing). Come on Boro - a draw after this strange few weeks would be valuable #utb

Sort of classic Whittaker and then he goes and scores. 😆

Shuto Machino scoring for Borussia Mönchengladbach this afternoon. A glimpse into the future of names when AI takes over.

Was hoping to wake up to only a handful of notifications from BBC Sport but the absolute dread when I saw I had 14 of the buggers meant I knew we’d stuffed it. Basically we were just one or two players getting in from giving Australia an impossible target and we couldn’t do it #theashes #bbccricket
