🚨 @UoSJournalism students 🚨
Here's a thread where I'll post some stuff I think you should listen to/watch/read because it's good/interesting/innovative.
I know, it's what Twitter has been waiting for.

The saddest of news. Joe was a great man. One of the most inspirational people I’ve ever met. Condolences to his family.
We're devastated to learn of the passing of Dale legend, Joe Thompson.
Our thoughts are with Joe’s family and friends at this incredibly sad time.
One of our own 💙

Wales legend Rob Earnshaw speaking to @UoSJournalism students about his career, life and going from playing barefoot with balled up carrier bags in Zambia, to hat tricks for his country.
Sad to hear this. I will, though, think of Ralph and smile. He’d call you when he got to his car (one of many), when he got to the job, again when he’d done the interviews, once more after his piece to camera, and a final time to say he was heading back to the newsroom. A gent.
Finally. Been waiting years for @DanHanzus & @BobCastrone to try and figure out what “raised on a diet of broken biscuits” means.

Wonder if this is player power?
📝 We can confirm that manager Ryan Lowe has left the club by mutual consent.
We’d like to thank Ryan for his hard work and wish him all the very best for the future.

The real question here is what does this mean for @throwbackpod?
And am I going to have start paying for DAZN?

Lucy Meacock is a real legend in the North West, someone I grew up watching, and one of the first presenters I worked with @GranadaReports - a real pleasure to end News at Ten with Lucy's sign off after 36 remarkable years. All the very best with the next chapter @lucymitv
Wow wow wow.
In the end they won by a yawning chasm 😳

There’s no sport where there’s a greater difference between the chuffer on the sofa and the athletes on the telly than gymnastics.
Astonishing.

Victorious South Ribble Labour candidate Paul Foster says he never expected to end up in Westminster when he first started his political career as backbench councillor in the borough 17 years ago.
What a moment. What a champion.
As big an achievement as British sport has ever seen.
And brilliantly delivered as always by @nedboulting and the @itvcycling team.
HE'S DONE IT!!!!

You've probably heard this claim - both from @rishisunak and more recently from @Nigel_Farage 👇
UK has leapfrogged others to become the world's fourth biggest exporter! And all after Brexit!
Unfortunately the reality is somewhat less impressive than this sounds.
Here's why:

The greatest of men.
A champion on and off the pitch.
RIP Rob Burrow
There is only one Rob Burrow CBE.
A warrior. A legend. A family man.
Our thoughts are with Rob’s family, all at Leeds Rhinos and everyone in the MND community with the news of his death aged 41.

Great thread for @UoSJournalism students:
At one point in the latest @throwbackpod, @DanHanzus asks @BobCastrone “did Collective Soul travel?”
They did not.
