I know 'you will absolutely never guess who gets out of this car' is overdone, but I swear to god you will absolutely never guess who gets out of that car
Trevor Sinclair will not be on air while we carry out a thorough investigation into the circumstances and timing of his tweet.
While we respect the right of Trevor Sinclair to express his opinion on his personal twitter account, talkSPORT does not endorse the tweet.
'took Keith to the sexual health clinic this afternoon and got asked to leave due to Keith being a dog' is possibly one of the best collections of words any person has put together
We have downgraded from ‘I won’t see my son’ to ‘I’ll have to leave my work Christmas party early’, which is probably the point at which you ask yourself if it’s time to pull the story
this is.. not good.
The story has already been updated to remove this guy (who was the main focus of the entire story!) because his travel plans weren't impacted

More commentators need to understand that most goals are not a 7-8/10 excitement. This is a reasonably nice goal for a team already leading and comfortable in the game. The man's not commentating for a 75-second social cut, it's a full game of football.
Martin Tyler could announce that he’d just discovered the key to eternal life and make it sound like he was ringing the local Chinese for his usual order of Peking Duck.
You could never understand what Virat Kohli will be feeling.
- Scored over 600 runs in the IPL, but couldn't win it.
- Scored over 700 runs in the World Cup, but couldn't taste the win.
Was having this conversation last night - if you were ever a teenage boy, what was the most physically stupid thing you did in those years? Just absolutely brainless stuff
@tsnmknd
Lmao literally those first three years he was basically scoring a goal a game in L1 and the CL, but got his ankles broken by February every year cos French refs were too busy smoking cigarettes and shrugging
Insider secret: Premier League teams have an unwritten agreement with TV companies not to score ten goals in a game because their graphics packages can't cope with it. That's why so many stop at 9.
@KP24
Last idea. Have the 3 on-duty commentators make drs/close call decisions and talk the public through it. Quick vote between the 3 if it’s out or not out, and then make the decision. Would be very entertaining with close calls(like whether the ball bounced with a catch or not).
I am absolutely fucking heartbroken. My best mate, everyone’s favourite shouty old man, had to be put to sleep unexpectedly this afternoon. He spent his last night sleeping on me, he spent his last moments purring while I held him and the vet gave him the injection. My son 💔💔💔
Tell me you haven't been following the growth of women's football without telling me you haven't been following the growth of women's football.
These women, and the ones who came before, HAVE been campaigning tirelessly off the pitch for decades. This doesn't HAPPEN without that
They didn’t picket or ask to be included. They worked at it for years, dealt with the humiliation of being on the sidelines of the sport, of being deemed not interesting or important enough, and last night they stormed on to the pitch.
This hospital saved my life, in the most literal way. They were absolutely incredible treating someone who spoke no Armenian, kind and calm. It was almost empty when I was there, and to see them in this state is devastating

online stock photos for bipolar disorder are really silly. this makes it seem like half the time, i'm thinking about spooky bats & skulls. but in reality, i'm thinking about spooky bats & skulls *all* the time
Little bit buried in there, but I think this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the question/system. The question being asked isn't 'are Black players being ignored by the national team coach?' but 'why isn't the pathway to the elite level producing more Black England players?'

One of the very funniest things about the way that the F1 landscape has shifted is that I semi-regularly get notifications from the work writers chat with links to an account called ‘ScuderiaFemboy’ and that’s just normal now
Would've been really nice if Jordan Henderson hadn't given me the chance to write this one, really – but he's sold out the queer community for a slightly more obscene bank balance, so here we are.

I know 'Martinez wasted the Belgian golden generation' is a funny take but he had one tournament with the good version of that side, and he got them to a World Cup semi-final
Absolutely too hungover to deal with ‘should the England manager be English?’ discourse today. Didn’t complain when Sarina won the Euros. Were all hyping Herve Renard a couple of weeks ago. Come on now.
West Ham have signed 37 strikers since Davids Gold and Sullivan took over in January 2010. They have 199 goals in 920 games.

have just failed to spend £40m on Maxi Gomez. Jordan Hugill and Chicharito are the only strikers on their books. Season starts a month today.
Some transfer news: Nottingham Forest want Dutch striker Jizz Hornkamp from Willem II.
He’s 24, decent scoring ratio and once scored four in 34 minutes for previous club. Talks underway and, if all goes well, would be 13th signing of summer for

It's dog racism. Plain and simple. You see a shape of dog and jump to conclusions irrespective of the individual dogs behaviour.
It's wrong.
Responsible and innocent owners and dogs are likely to be the people who will lose most with this approach.
Remember in like 2017 when he looked washed, the ball looked really floaty coming out of his hand and he was barely hitting 80mph? Then he took 116 wickets at 22.7 over the next three years? That was good
Yeah, when Nicholas Witchell says it's 'pretty self evident what's happening' and 'we should move to preparing for the worst' on BBC One...it's done, isn't it
Imagine doing this – all of this – and not even getting on the pitch for a goodbye in the last game of the season when the club's forcing you out. Bale is staggeringly underappreciated at Real.
'I almost need facts and data to be able to believe something'
Stuart you just got two wickets in this match by swapping the bails before your delivery, which it seems like you completely made up
