This guy was in the army for four months and didn’t complete his basic training, yet is decked out like some kind of hero. And we laugh at the North Koreans

England’s cricket team: An Irish born captain, a New Zealand born hero, two proud British born Muslims, players from West Indian and South African and Pakistani backgrounds. Diversity is what makes a brilliant team #CWC19Final.

Keith Flint owned a pub in Essex called The Leather Bottle. “We’ve got an open fire, and I’ve got about 60 quid in a pint pot on the mantelpiece. every time I light it, the Firestarter jokes come out and boom, I’m like ‘you owe me a pound.’ The money goes in and off to charity”

Steve Powell’s photo is often used to portray Maradona’s mythical status. Six Belgians sent to deal with him. Truth is, they were a wall for a free kick and merely turned as it was played short to him. He wasted the chance. Argentina lost 1-0. The picture told a different story

The Charlatans were told they had a budget of £20,000 for the video for North Country Boy, so instead of spending it on locations, sets etc they all flew to New York for the weekend and filmed themselves wandering around and having a great time

Maybe the most amazing @_Bands_FC thing ever. Heart of Midlothian (@JamTarts) players will run out in our @FRabbits shirts at their Scottish Cup semi final again @HibernianFC on Saturday. The club will then auction the shirts to raise funds for @tinychanges

Might be an unpopular opinion but even fans screaming at opposition players when they go to take a throw in or a corner is just so wrong. Red faced idiots shouting hatred at another person. It’s not healthy in any kind of way, it’s just plain fucking weird.

At least the clanking of his sword, his medals and all his finery mean that kids can hear Prince Andrew approaching. A bit like when you put a bell on a cat’s collar to warn birds away

Rudolf (Puma) & Adi (Adidas) Dassler were siblings and bitter rivals. In the ‘74 World Cup, Adidas supplied the Dutch kit, but Puma made Johan Cruyff’s boots. The team’s shirts all had the three stripes of Adidas - except Cruyff’s, he refused and had only two stripes on his shirt

Someone sold one of the Bands F.C. Frightened Rabbit enamel badges on eBay for £180. Uncool but these things happen. Just don’t buy them from toerags out make money. Guessing they are not donating the money to Scott’s charity, so we’ll put the £180 in for the charity instead

Mason Greenwood’s shirt in the Paris Saint German v Manchester United game featured the PSG typeface rather than the United one. That’s because they printed it in the PSG club shop in the afternoon when they realised he might get a game .😳😳😳

Fuck the Daily Mail for trying to stoke hatred with their article about The @RNLI. Lots of gammons have said they are cancelling their donations (guessing lots were making no donations to cancel in the first place). We’ve donated £200 to show support for such an amazing charity.
