Not a fan of this newspaper - but have to agree with @davetrott - they are exceptional at writing headlines . .

One of my favorite quotes of all time, below, from LACC. It did not take 100. 👏👏👏
Asked Rory if it’s getting exhausting to have to answer questions about dealing with disappointment. He smiled. “I would go through 100 Sundays like this to get my hands on another major championship.”

Gene Hackman has passed away at the age of 95. Gene was one of the greatest actors of his, or anyone's generation. He was a powerhouse, as adept at comedy as he was drama. Today is a very sad day, we've lost a legend. Gene was a giant of cinema. R.I.P Gene Hackman

Lifting weights, eating protein, and going for long walks solves more problems than people realize.

Your annual reminder that the FA was legally forced to change the name of the Charity Shield to the Community Shield in 2002 after they failed to meet the minimum legal transparency requirements of how much money actually went to charities.

Absolutely amazing instinct from Cav knowing which gap to jump into and then the timing on when to go jumping before all the favorites did. What a fantastic reminder on the importance in believing in yourself. Who cares what kind of day you had yesterday and what people are saying. All that matters is what you believe today.

This is absolutely superb @HLTCO - please do it every year . .
With the Premier League season now over and everything else winding down, I’ve compiled a thread of my favourite moments from the 2023/24 campaign. It’s 140 odd tweets long so stick with me, I’ll start adding tweets to the thread in a few minutes. Hopefully you enjoy it. ❤️
