We beat Barcelona! What a result! With two outstanding saves from Baird in the final minute or so. #KRO

I’m watching Blues vs Barcelona and how glorious it is to not have hydration breaks, I’d forgotten Also, somehow, it’s 1-1? And Barca only scored from a penalty? I’ll take it! It’s their b-team, admittedly, but any grain of hope of escaping championship purgatory and I’ll take it

I’m going to write a Mad King review on my substack, but if there are any editors following me that want a piece from a true Game of Thrones nerd reviewing the play then please let me know!

Guess the people who said to report it were right as the police just came out to visit over it!

I saw the #MadKing at the RSC and some of the things that really jumped out to me in terms of revelations were (spoilers ahead)…

Absolutely LOVED IT, so many answers - go ahead and ask away!

Interval of the Mad King, massive reveal (avoid if you are going to see play and don’t want spoilers) . . . . . King Aerys says to Prince Rhaegar the prince that was promised will be a third born child and that the dragon must have three heads - surely Daenerys is now PTWP confirmed, this is canon

This statement by UEFA on FIFA attempting to sell off the World Cup gave me goosebumps, what a statement - the beautiful game deserves no less “As so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale.”

Infantino, as things stand, has destroyed the World Cup and FIFA I doubt this sell off plan will happen now, but if investors are mad enough to still invest he’s destroyed the best prize in sport single handedly Doubt it would be long before UEFA set up its own, but what a legacy

ITS HAPPENING

Live on Times Radio shortly reviewing tomorrow’s papers 🗞️

I’ve reported this DM I got on Instagram as an experiment, I’ve had quite a few as I’ve posted more on Instagram recently - I’ll update you if anything is done And yes I’m fine, I’ve been trolled for so long I tend to just ignore these but then I realised I probably shouldn’t when they’re THIS bad

Not that I’m bothered, more bemused, but this is… weird, no?

Infantino has done wonders for Blatter’s rehabilitation because why am I sitting here almost missing him 😭

Can’t remember a time there was so much cross party unity on something. Culture committee chair tells me the committee will look at this in September, my latest 👇🏽 www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Americans: what do you make of this Infantino stuff? Are you remotely surprised it’s happening after the World Cup being hosted in the US?

I am seeing the Mad King at the RSC this week - if you haven’t got a ticket and love ASOIAF like I do, what would you like to know about it? I’ll come back to this and reply!

If someone said to me would you rather never have a World Cup again, or sell out - I’d have rather never have a World Cup again I’d rather have a Euros every two years instead because let’s be honest - it’s basically the World Cup these days without controversial Argentina these days anyway

The World Cup without UEFA means no Mbappe, no Bellingham, no Haaland, no Olise, no Yamal It means no England, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium It means no Zidane, Tuchel, Klopp The World Cup this year without Europe would have just been Argentina & Egypt in the final 8 UEFA must hold firm

My little cousin Reiss Batchelor got called up for the Birmingham City first team today for their pre-season game against Northampton - and as you can imagine, me and my entire family are over the moon. He’s only 16! 💙
