Parkrun is the single greatest thing to happen to running in this country. Brilliant for physical health, mental health and local community. We need it back and we need it back now. (Well, June 5th). theguardian.com/sport/2021/m…

I didn’t realise footballers have to starve themselves after a loss. Learn something new every day.
After a win, I went for a dinner in Mayfair. I looked over and saw Doucoure (Watford) sitting there too. I looked twice… then checked the results on my phone again 😂😂 Yes, Watford had lost 0-3 that same afternoon! I was shocked. It was something I’d never seen in my life. But I guess in some countries, it’s actually quite normal 😅

What an odd tweet
Or, perhaps, a man has died who deliberately chose to go into a tiger enclosure and was subsequently attacked

How could it ever be “impossible”.
Tiger enclosure thoughts. 1. It needs to be impossible for people to jump/fall/climb into an enclosure. 2. Zoo’s should have tranquilliser guns to hand in case of emergencies, one shot to make the animal pass out for long enough to get people out.

The people who call lefties and youngsters snowflakes are now having a meltdown over hedgehogs. “Hedgehogs are delightful but they are not heroes” Imagine for a second typing that with a straight face.
This is not the behaviour of a strong. proud nation. Hedgehogs are delightful but they are not heroes. Our progressive leaders fear and despise our history and its great men and women. So they devalue our currency with whimsy. Pathetic.

Yeah because nowhere in Stephen Yaxley-Lennon does it even come close to "Tommy Robinson" while Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch contains "Kemi Badenoch"
The media will always mention that Tommy Robinson's real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. They'll never mention that Kemi Badenoch is actually Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch.

Never know when you’re gonna need one.
I’ve been suspended at work since July following an anonymous grievance (not anonymous as the company accidentally revealed who it was) that said: “Sophie’s views are much more extreme than the perspectives of someone I’d feel comfortable working with.” My employer refused to obtain witness accounts I believe are essential to my defence and refused permission for me to contact colleagues to obtain them. I’m pursuing legal action. I also reported that my manager said he didn’t want to hire white people because they were “lazy”. Both white managers at our workplace were suspended at the same time (me being one of them) I’m deeply concerned about how this has been handled. With finding work already so difficult for young people, this has been incredibly hard. I don’t believe I should be facing this. If anyone has advice, or a shoulder to cry on, I’d really appreciate it.

Leeds had a number of players on international duty too and the game is at the Emirates. Apart from that top work from Merse.

This photo is from when we signed Raphinha btw.
📆 On this day, 6 years ago, the Leeds United admin told their fanbase not to go to bed, teasing them of a new signing. But instead of announcing a major new signing, the club waited until 10:51 PM - just 9 minutes before the transfer window shut - to announce the sales of two strikers: ▪️ Matt Smith to Fulham ▪️ Dominic Poleon to Oldham Athletic No incoming players arrived. 😲🤣

Has everyone lost the fucking plot here.
So… this bail business. I think there is some explaining to be done!

Wrong club. Misspelled Hartlepool. Got the ground wrong. Aside from that good content lads 👍🏼
Burnley player Reyes Cleary returned to the stands of Hartlepoole to watch his old team during the international break... This is class to be fair 😅👏🏻

They also weren’t around for WWII but I imagine they’ve heard of it.
I personally love this #OnlyConnect question but how can a young team be expected to know this?!

Conservatives are usually more clever at hiding their anti worker, anti working class, anti hard working families bias but occasionally they let the mask slip.
Only one party has ever rescued the country from trade union control. We’re ready to do so again. If you weren’t sure what kind of Labour government we have, or want to know what’s in store for you and your family finances, the news below is a big clue and it’s not good news 👇

Bradley Thomas absolutely phoning this response to Jonny Reynolds in. Getting constituency names wrong. Stumbling over his words. Hardly looking up. Poor.

Why do clubs keep hiring Frank Lampard? 😂
