Loving this Malmo fixture tonight and feeling so gutted not to be there under the lights. So I dug out my matchday programme from the 1995 Malmo game at the WFCG and will enjoy watching the 1979 Forest legends re-live their glory days 🥰 #COYR #NFFC 💪🔴⚪️🌳

A very cool story, like a real-life watch along Football Manager save.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.
