Surround yourself with people who see a flying car and say, "Awesome!" Not people who see a flying car and say, "It's not actually flying" or "I don't see the point." This post is not about cars :)

Mustapha Hadji, hands down one of the coolest blokes to ever take to a football pitch, with a lovely goal vs Norway at France 98 🇲🇦

The EFL haven’t just punished us; they’ve ruined us. In addition to losing half our team, we’ll be sued for many, many millions by players, sponsors & rival teams. We’re essentially facing years of decline and pain on and off the pitch. Thats why this is disproportionate.

Being “stressed out” by your kids’ exams is the ultimate example of modern parenting, and it’s pretty pathetic, we are not the ones taking the exams and we are adults. It’s self indulgent and unhelpful @BBCr4today

Not sure this place still works but here goes. I’m building up contacts for my new national radio show on @wearetrackradio - sports talk + music. Starts Monday. I think there’s a space for convo beyond ragebait. If you’re an expert and a storyteller, please reply/DM + share!

Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic header against Sampdoria has been crowned the greatest headed goal in football history.

It’s an absolute disgrace that not one FA Cup 5th Round Tie will be played at 3pm on the Saturday. Another nail in the coffin of this once fantastic competition. All games LIVE on TNT & Discovery+ with the Wolves & Wrexham games on BBC1. Would love to have the old FA Cup back, 3PM kick-offs, Replays, Semi Finals on neutral grounds, FA Cup draws on Mondays at 12:30pm etc etc Long gone are those great days when the FA Cup competition was memorable and envied all around the world. Commentators and pundits can bull it up as much as they want, but we all know the romance has gone! #FACup

Whatever your views on this proposal, the fact that public service is inherently regarded as a punishment - rather than born from loving one’s country/town/city - by so many people, gets to the heart of our problems as a country.
Clean Up Britain is suggesting people on Universal Credit be required to pick up litter for 4 hours a month - or lose their benefits. We covered this on my @LBC show this morning and we were flooded with calls for 2 hours straight. Broadly speaking people were 80/20 in favour.
