That ref was a clown, look at me, I want to be part of the fairytale on Netflix, have another free-kick... Totally inconsistent, as for Moore, really weak for a big guy, falls over a lot. Felt really sorry for him when he got injured but got over it surprisingly quickly. Great ending to a difficult game - savour these moments.

When Rupert Lowe sees Lammy stood there next to the water he's going to explode with rage.

The IDF have shown scant disregard for hostage welfare from day one, I'm not even sure if the government ever had any intention of rescuing many, their actions have done nothing to suggest that those victims were in their thoughts. For a while now it's just been brutal war crimes, real estate planning, forced starvation and displacement, dismantling of health services, new business for the US, and ethnic cleansing - all dressed up in the tiny inadequate flak jacket of self-defence. Once the leader has faced his delayed corruption trial, history will judge this Israeli administration.

If you're going to live in a new house on the beach in Gaza, don't be surprised if you have unwelcome visitors for the next fifty or a hundred years. The kids that are crawling out of the rubble today will be around to see you at some point. Things they won't mention in the sales brochure.

Has AI developed enough to identify irony and sarcasm? If so, it's overtaken 75% of the human race already and we're all fucked.

Sadly a precedent was established in the last parliament and you have up to 14 years to still blame the previous administration. It's ridiculous, just as it was then, but that's what Tories did in 2024, so it would be churlish to change that now it doesn't suit your agenda. Perhaps lobby the government to revisit that policy and reduce the timescale?

And it gets a vote.

Yes, that little hottie, a new poster girl for Reform - a ring on her finger and an XXXL tag on her ankle. Some poor bloke must regret letting that one get away.

Interesting to hear one of the convicted Southport rioters admit that she was stupid to be taken in by all the fabricated stories, some of which were promoted by GB News' finest for personal gain.

It’s really difficult to curate in order but here’s ten bangers that have all been soundtracks to my life - not much modern stuff, mainly classics from the golden era of rock - if you don't know some of these, check them out on Google, you won't be disappointed. Yodel Blues by The Petersens – any contemporary rock band that fuses yodeling with country has to be on any playlist. Crazy Frog, Tricky, beautiful lyrics and melodies. Gary Glitter – I’m the Leader of the Gang, doesn’t get the recognition these days, reminds me of scoutcamp and those nights by the fire, milking goats while blindfolded, I can still hear them grunting. Copocabana – Manilow is the governor when it comes to gritty storytelling, this one has a bit of everything, always makes me cry. Grandad by Clive Dunne with it's epic driving bass drum - Dunne was a vastly underrated soul singer, did sessions with Aretha Franklin back in the 60s. Stripped, Raped and Strangled by Cannibal Corpse (radio edit), a lovely ballad that suffered from lack of airplay. Jingle Bells by The Singing Dogs - a yuletide classic, great harmonies and arrangement. Check out the 12-inch Vince Clarke remix for the best dance version. There was a proper band that knew how to damage a hotel room, and pavements. Atmosphere by Russ Abbot, a lyrically-driven Gothic classic, Bauhaus meets The Sisters. Minuetto Allegretto by The Wombles, it’s their Bohemian Rhapsody, rock meets opera, it’s emotional, it reminds me of a girl I was going out with back then, she was a unit, and quite furry. This song makes me want to pick up the dirtiest thing on the street - to recycle. The Day We Went To Bangor by Fiddler’s Dram – a festival anthem by the band the Wurzels could have been, great driving song and what a bass line, this song was always a big moment at every rave in 89. I can see lasers, I feel thirsty.

Do you think they've had some mission creep on that worthy aim and gone a little bit too war-crimey?

War chest? Have you been reading The plucky blue army battling at fortress fratton News again - it's a fucking biscuit tin.

Liam has always been a total twat, but it now emerges that he and Noel have a brother who is even worse.

Spain were definitely the better side - right up until the moment when they weren't.

What a great night, that team has got more fight than an Oasis soundcheck. Nice to see some proper winners in England shirts.

Well I'm staggered to discover that someone from Reform would make up a load of old crap, purely to stir up hate in an attempt to harvest votes from the ill-informed. Making up shit for personal gain would be a massive change of direction for Nigel Farage, this is a shocking revelation.

Hopefully those who granted Israel a free pass to do what the fuck they want now see that the IDF have abused that trust. They've abandoned the hostages and gone on a mass killing spree. #warcriminals

Nice to see that video includes a nod to Danny Ings with a recreation of his knee slide in front of the Fratton End. Nice touch.

I was saying that between them he and his colleagues made hundreds of millions. The biggest Brexit donor gave Nigel £800k to promote chaos in the market in 2016 and then made £220m overnight from the uncertainty. Farage even used the Coutts situation. His boss at GB News was fortunate enough to make millions on the timing of the announcement - he was incredibly lucky when he guessed the exact moment his friend would go public. It definitely wasn't insider dealing, Nigel gained nothing from the man who pays him for TV work, it was just a lucky guess.

Let's build a compound in the woods, we just need bibles, guns and soup.

For city trader Farage, Reform is nothing more than his latest business - it's bankrolled by donors who guide policy, whether it's promoting fossil fuels or tax breaks, while his previous Brexit business enabled him and his trader colleagues to make hundreds of millions. It's obvious to anyone with a brain that it's all about Nigel, but plenty are too thick to notice when they're being scammed by multi-millionaires pretending to be working class. When a teenager is leading a county council that has a £650m budget and complex spending issues, surely even the most easily-led can hear the alarm bells?

What a rollercoaster of a result, great to see an England team with fight and resilience and no mentions of Gerrard or Lampard or golden bloody generations. I fear Spain might be a step too far, hopefully the Germans can nick that one on penalties.

The mission to rescue hostages seems to have been abandoned in favour of merciless revenge against civilians. These daily war crimes being committed by the Israeli government - and that's just a fact, they meet every definition of war crimes, have nothing to do with self-defence, the mission the world originally supported. When 28 countries of varied politics now demand that you stop killing kids, it may be time to accept that you have lost the moral high ground - and probably lost it forever. The orphans who crawl out of the rubble today won't forget - Israel has created the next three generations of terrorist.

When she was at her stupidest, Philip Hammond made an equally stupid mistake in the Commons. Some people chose to highlight hers and ignore the one made by a white man, they're still at it now. We see you.

They voted for a circus. 🤡 The rest of us are going to need more popcorn.
