When England men won the World Cup there were 16 teams in the tournament and they had never been banned from playing football. So yeah, you're right, should the women do it on Sunday, the scale of the achievement is not at all the same. It's far greater 👍
Turns out it’s the second visit where they really get you hooked. Thanks for having me back
@RangersFC
@RangersTV
. Big three points before Christmas! 🎅🤶🏻🎄
Yesterday was the most fun I’ve had watching the boys in so so long. A team performance by the beautiful Spurs - and a standout game from Japhet to warm our hearts. Still on a high! 💙
Crushed to learn it was only Barton's goodwill that was allowing me and my gal pals to make our way in the football media industry til now. If anyone needs me I'll be down at the job centre 😭
If Dele Alli had never excelled as a footballer and only managed to live his life and hold down any job at all that would be an achievement. Given what he's been through, what he's accomplished by the age of 27 is nothing short of miraculous
What do we think about the idea that commentators for big games should be chosen specifically *because* they have no relationship whatsoever with the teams involved
This is a presenter technique known as:
"Shit I've forgotten my log in password. Shit we've gone live. Act like you're interested in what he's saying"
She's nailed it to be fair 👏👏
Best Saturday night in town that
@SpursOfficial
, stadium absolutely bouncing! Loved getting a sight of the new boys, and Emerson and Cuti looked so sharp. Not to mention Son back and two for Harry. Dreamland
So many brilliant fun people being hilarious and kind to me on Twitter this week. Such a lot of good in this place - and I realise I‘ve been getting caught up reading the baddies! So I’m not going to any more. Wanted to say: thanks for all the good stuff, pals. You’re the best ☀️
And that’s me! Big old Merry Christmas to everybody on here, thanks for being so great over the last few months. Hope you all manage to do something you really like tomorrow, even if it’s just one small thing. Hugs 🤗
Hello pals, here I am reaching out to you through a fug of humiliation before the others tell. Ready? We just interviewed Olivier Giroud for book club and I'm told that I started to speak in a French accent and I don't think I'm going to talk to anyone ever again just in case
Some of us are happy / some sad,
some fans are mean / some nice,
some refs are good / some bad,
some pens are given / some aren’t. Last night meant a lot to me, and if it’s the same for you or you were supporting the wonderful Danes it’s ok. No one must be right - or get hurt 💛
Agh
@FootballRamble
listeners, I’m so sorry but it is true! I have left the Ramble. I’m sad we have to part ways, I never wanted it to end 💚💚💚 Having you in my life for the last three years has been the biggest privilege
Tell you what, a few days in Birmingham for the Commonwealth Games really takes the edge off the post-euros comedown thank god. Are Brummies always this friendly or is this a Games thing
They’ll put anyone on the telly these days. Highlights from today at 3.45pm, back at it tomorrow from 3.30am for day 3. Be there! Today was so good
@cricketontnt
Over and out you lot. Have a massive Christmas, can’t wait to see what the new year looks like. Take care of yourselves and those around you won’t you xxx
Been hoping to persuade Sian Massey-Ellis to sit down with me for some time now - partly to tell her how important she is to so many people. She’s exactly as clear-sighted, impressive and modest as you’d imagine. Here’s how it went 💙
Off into Sky now and to be honest pals, feeling pretty low. Apart from the obvious fear for people's lives, coronavirus is wiping out two of the best things: football and hugs. Which affects basically everyone! Hope you're all doing ok 💛
So proud of england. Ultimately did the decent thing by boycotting the semi & final of this godforsaken tournament. Unlike our French cousins. Shame on them 🏴
Guys, big moment, I have finally been exposed. More than a dozen brilliant assertive thoughtful people working on the Ramble week in week out and yet still I bend it ruthlessly in service of my corrupt desires
Just finishing up on the early shift.
Mind: Ok so the main thing is to get straight out for a run, stay awake for the next few hours and not snack because sleep deprivation confuses your appetite
Body:
Watching spurs now thinking just how much I loved being back at real football last night. Cambridge United and their fans did an incredible job, and from what I saw the work to make it possible for us to get back to the places we love is in good hands 💛
Point in the bag. Just need to now formally apologise to my fellow England fans for forgetting to don the lucky shirt until half time
#sorry
#wegoagain
Not the weekend I had hoped for but thanks to certain champs my covid birthday was pretty decent you know. V much appreciate the cheer everybody. Disinfected hugs to the lot of you x
