It's odd: people who don't like cycling or darts or rugby or athletics or,what,curling & people who don't like ANY sport just get on with their lives. But for women's football, a constant barrage of 58-year-old divorcees gatekeeping vigorously and telling us they don't like it.

Why is every England manager unable to make tactical substitutions? Surely it's a big part of the game? #Weu.

What a piece of journalism to be shown within a major sports event - @mrendell a journalist working in sport who's not just there to write down the score and amplify the sponsors' brands. Would be good if there were more.
"The riders themselves were told to be on message". @mrendell on the Peruvian Amazon communities affected by TotalEnergies. ITV respects TotalEnergies' right to reply.

What a pleasure to interview Pulp's Mark Webber about his new history of the band, 'I'm with Pulp, Are You?' in #Chiswick @GeorgeIVW4 last night. Lovely venue (as ever) and lovely audience. More shows with Mark outside London in the autumn, after Pulp's US tour in September.

Are the old guys who get aerated about women playing football the same ones who don't think any act under 55 should be playing Glastonbury? I think they are. But, face it: the 80s is over and it's not coming back.

Ah man, wait til you see @prodnose Danny Baker's 'Own Goals and Gaffes' video series - hours and hours of inept professional men's football - and it only goes up to 1990! You'll never watch a game again!
@scfcbill The reason I don’t watch woman’s football, penalties where a disgrace my 8 year old grandson takes better ones, absolutely terrible.
