@beth_lindop Needs a big win at the Boelyn Ground but that’ll just be Parr for the course. If he does really well, he might get too Aragon-t. First thing first though, fans need to Seymour passion in this team.

The BBC has made mistakes, some of them indefensible. But so has every media outlet that has been flogging it, and whereas the BBC's mea culpas and apologies are prominent and comprehensive, others' are low-key and brief to the point of obfuscation
The @DailyMail’s correction & apology for making up something I never said comes after a week in which it has run, by my last count, 6 headline pieces condemning me for being, amongst other things, “unhinged” & “semi-deranged”

The Onion is not what it was, but hits the target sometimes. Still, if you're going to say a sportsman is just "that one guy", then maybe choose someone that doesn't make me go: "That's Guy!" https://t.co/qmDcHLD1q0

Surely you should change the reference to "his native Africa" to "his native Ghana"? You would never write "his native Europe" if the player in question was from Spain, or Bulgaria, or England.

They did what? The two tabloids titles that wrote clickbait headlines about the awful events on Merseyside – revealed. Mediawatch exposing the Express and the Star. Keep up the good work.

This might be the most likeable PSG yet. Young, balanced, coherent. A proper team, a good manager. But peel back the football, and it’s still a state-owned soft power project, still a symbol of everything wrong with the modern game. Don’t forget what it took to get here.

Respect to Bunny Shaw, who was a victim of racist abuse earlier this month and raised her arm in a Black Power salute after she opened the scoring tonight. #BarclaysWSL #ManCity

Here's why I think the proposed sale of the Observer to Tortoise would severely damage the reputation of the Scott Trust and threaten the future of the world's oldest Sunday newspaper, which I edited until last weekend 🧵
