I recently put together a list of essential @bsky.app starter packs for every major (and not-so-major) sport.

No one can check out this site and whine about a lack of sports anymore. No more excuses!

Ebou winning the ball and firing it out to Murphy is going to keep us up, so please get fit soon. Keshi/Ali improvements on what we've had out wide so far. I'm dreading the West Brom game though, alot of effort went into today.

Super chuffed with the performance from players/fans. Never forget that is a team with 4x the squad Bill and 1 player worth more than the squad. That showed in the quality, but made to look average.

I believe the term they are looking for here is "ambitious". You can't be ambitious if you are running the club like an actual business.

In theory we are one of these clubs, but apparently we don't make enough losses for some people. Football is mad.
Despite record revenues and rising club valuations, nine out of 10 teams in English football’s top four divisions expect to post pre-tax losses for 2025, according to an annual survey of club finance directors by accountancy firm BDO.

The meltdown that day was absolutely superb and the receipts still exist on the other site. Incredible achievements given its against clubs with a seemingly limitless supply of cash. Mous 💪
Three years ago today, this man was unveiled as head coach. #Pompey were 15th in League One, hadn't won in the league for three months and had gone four months without a Fratton Park league victory. An appointment which took guts - and what a remarkable journey he has overseen.

Seems like a decent squad signing, squad needs bulking out given the injuries. More to come hopefully.

I'm just left wanting to play FM reading this. Lower league clubs in Europe achieving tiny things like getting a draw against a team with 30x their wage bill from Lithuania. True football achievements
Last Thursday, Penybont FC gave me full behind-the-scenes access across the entire matchday to help tell the story of the European Conference League qualifiers, where players get to live out their dreams.

A great day.

Zia Yusuf has published a response to our report on the Reform UK "Britannia card" proposal. It's disappointing: heavy on insults, light on substance, and revealing that Mr Yusuf cites an OBR paper he hasn't read. buff.ly/GUbqAei
The £34bn cost of Reform UK’s “Britannia card” proposal
Reform UK’s Britannia Card would let wealthy foreigners pay £250,000 to avoid UK tax — but would likely cost £34bn and reduce skilled migration.
