Tuchel has absolutely shat the bed when it mattered. Parking the bus completely does not EVER work against teams with that much quality. Most English thing ever - utterly inevitable.

Dear cricket teams, stop using AI slop. There are so many talented creatives who would jump at the chance to make something meaningful and authentic for your club. AI is not only a complete waste of energy, but it's insulting the very fans you're trying to attract. Stop it.

Longshot of all long shots but currently ticketless for Budapest after 6 out of 7 aways. Anyone that knows of anything please give me a heads up regardless of which price category! Plenty can vouch if needed.

Six years on, Molly has completed her treatment and is preparing to run the London Marathon for charity! β¨

Sense the gloves are off for Anderson now. Forced out by this clueless regime just before passing Warne, when still the best bowler in the country.
As it transpired, they missed his control (1.8 economy on previous Ashes tour) and the wickets they got wouldβve suited him.

That is some following for a Monday night in East Anglia not even a week after Christmas.

This is going to be the worst 5-0 in history. A relatively poor Aus side, who must be laughing at this bunch of arrogant and entitled - yet talented - poms literally handing it to them. I absolutely cannot stand them. #Ashes2025
Jamie Smith that is absolutely abysmal. Completely regulation at almost any level and itβs Travis Head on 3. Ouch. Not convinced Smith should last the series with Rew in the wings.
Iβve just watched an away Ashes Joe Root ton at my Australian cricket club surrounded by a heap of Aussies. Life is so, so good. #Ashes2025 #JoeRoot

So glad we finally have the technology to tell us Harry Brook's weight transfer is better on a gorgeous straight drive for four than on a wild swing and a miss. The future is here.
Australiaβs bowling has been pretty average on a flat one here. 2 missed leg-stump half volleys and a terrible shot from Crawley have made this dire. Get a grip lads.
I forgot what it feels like to watch England play cricket in Australia. It feels so unsafe. #Ashes2025

Watford clearly perform better when Edo Kayembe and Sissoko do not play. The eye test says so and the results too.
I genuinely believe he is the best footballer in the league. The level heβs playing at this year is absolutely ridiculous. #WatfordFC
That was an absolute car crash. Put it down to growing pains and move on but the lineup and performance were absolutely abysmal and they were seriously there for the taking too. #WatfordFC
