‘Despicable. Atrocious. Unacceptable in our open, tolerant society.’

Rarely have I been so utterly dumbfounded at an interview presented to me as a story that I’ve told the team to hit the brakes so we can gather all context; sense-check all evidence.

Anyone still want VAR? Gutted for Coventry, lucky lucky Man U 🙃

🧵A few weeks and months ago, Chris Burn told us he wanted to explore quite why so many people appeared to have lost homes, savings - thousands - in the one place their hard-earned money ought to be safe

Bring it on💎

Lovely pic this. Great support again for the Pathway teams by Yorkshire CCC. The girls age group teams are extremely well run with two excellent, full time coaches. Just need some more sun now!

Bernardo Silva iced by a Man City fan wanting to nick a ball 🙈

Love that from Alfie Gilchrist. What a moment bless him #CHEEVE

Chelsea penalty arguments 😂😂😂 #CHEEVE

Nearly as good as McGugan’s over Pickford that #swfc

Cole Palmer 🥶🤯 #CHEEVE

Good to see Dele Alli on Monday Night Football. Hopefully he recovers from his injury and we see him back playing football again. He’s had his issues, which he has publicly talked about, but what a talent he is #CHEEVE

Can’t believe the Arsenal fans all headed for the exits when Watkins made it 2-0. First defeat of 2024, still in the title race and Champions League quarterfinals. Oh to have that entitlement as a fan 🙈

Leicester and Leeds absolute bottle jobs at the moment. Be class if Southampton won their last six games 😅

Something seriously wrong at Leicester. Last quarter of the season and they’re 19th in the form table. Absolute shambles of a run in.

Most obvious goal of the season just scored by Plymouth. Leicester absolutely battering them, first attack, nice finish 1-0. Cheers Foxes 🦊 👍

Phil Foden, what a baller 🤩 #ChampionsLeague

Pretty average from the Lionesses that. Lucky not to lose. Stina Blackstenius scores that chance 9 times out of 10. On to the next one… #Lionesses #ENGvSWE

What’s a game that was 🥶🥶🥶 #CHEMUN
