Amazon are clearly baddies and nobody should use them. That said, my wonderful book There's No Such Thing As A Silly Question is just a tenner on there today (RRP £18.99) and makes a great Christmas present, so you might want to buy thirty or so. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/183994739X/

The cover of the book There's No Such Thing As A Silly Question, beautifully illustrated by the great Guilherme Karsten.

There’s something very British about Contrarian Ping Pong Guy being a character we have to reckon with.

The UK is “madly left, madly liberal, hyper-progressive”, Syed says. This is a deeply odd speech, seemingly from yet another person who spends a lot of time on X.

[I deleted earlier post which had the typo of saying, 'US' rather than 'UK'.]

You don’t have to be called Steve or Stephen to work at Blackpool, but it does help.

A club statement from Blackpool saying Steve Bruce has been sacked along with coaches Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence. Stephen Dobbie and Steve Banks will take temporary charge.

Had a chat with Clive Tyldesley about why he would say his favourite team is Barton Rovers Under-14s, and why 'jeopardy' can make him more thoughtful in his commentary work

I spoke to Tyrhys Dolan about the family atmosphere at Espanyol, missing home comforts, and putting himself in the spotlight in the same league as Rashford, Bellingham et al

Former England youth star aims to outshine Bellingham and Rashford in Spain

"The famous comedians of the UK often try out their material in small theatres and sometimes pubs before they take it to the Apollo and the O2 and to a mass audience. They don't charge as much when they're trying out their material..."

I spoke to Clive Tyldesley about Ruben Amorim

Peter Crouch knows what it's like to start slowly at Liverpool, and I spoke to him about Florian Wirtz

'It took me 18 games to score for Liverpool, I know Florian Wirtz's pain'

Florian Wirtz is still waiting to get off the mark for Liverpool after his big-money move from Bayer Leverkusen but former Reds striker Peter Crouch can relate to the German

Our hearts are with the victims and their families at this terrible time.

We are heartbroken to emerge from Yom Kippur into news of the attack at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in Manchester. No one should face violence for attending synagogue services and our hearts are with the victims and their families at this terrible time.
For many in our community, this news may only just be reaching you after a day spent in prayer, reflection, and fasting. To be confronted with such awfulness in this moment is particularly painful: please know that you are not alone.

In moments like this, it is vital that our communities - Jewish and non-Jewish alike hold one another close. Our safety and liberation depend on solidarity between all those who are marginalised and targeted, and we must not allow those who seek to divide us to succeed. Every person deserves to live, gather, and worship in safety and dignity. We condemn this act of violence unequivocally, and restate our commitment to building a world where this kind of horror is no longer possible.

I would also like to say this, and I would also like to apologise for lying at the start of this post

Mike Goodman @themlg.bsky.social · 8d

It’s Yom Kippur so I’d just like to say I’m sorry for the bad posts and I’ll try to do only good posts this year.

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

Rare that you get to hear a current Premier League referee speak about VAR and its challenges so was good to hear from Craig Pawson during the Intelligent Sports Summit this week

Premier League referee gives honest VAR feelings after Man Utd and Arsenal drama

Craig Pawson has been refereeing Premier League matches for more than a decade and has been the man in the middle as the league has brought in Video Assistant Referees
