Really feel for Atleti tonight, they created chances, but the perennial wait goes on. Meanwhile Real have yet another opportunistic pathway to the final, although Arsenal, and then PSG or my Villa might have something to say about that… 🤔 #ATMRMA #ChampionsLeague

Flukes, opponents’ errors, late goals, bending referees to their will, decisions going their way. 9 straight UCL Final wins, many fortuitous in one way or another. Real Madrid seem to get all the breaks. Is this the luckiest team in sport 🤷‍♂️ #ATMRMA #ChampionsLeague

Once again Real Madrid the beneficiaries of an outrageous piece of luck. This time Alvarez’s penalty being disallowed due to a fluke slip. #ATMRMA #ChampionsLeague

🧵 THREAD 🧵 Wow, Liverpool out 🤯 The best team in Europe finally lost their form and were outlasted by a plucky PSG side, who despite their horrid owners are rather likeable as a team and deserve this win over two legs. 1/

Happy International Women's Day to all our amazing women and girls ❤️ This year is especially poignant as hard won freedoms and rights are under attack globally from many directions. So we must unite to finally deliver a better, safer world for all 💪 #InternationalWomensDay

“The return Of the Space Nazi…” Yeah-hey” 🎶 metro.co.uk/2025/03/07/s...

One of the most amazing wins I’ve ever seen 🤯 Totally outplayed, 29% possession, 2-27 shots against, never in the game, but somehow Liverpool soaked up 88 minutes of the severest pressure, then scored a late goal to pull off one of the most remarkable smash and grabs ever. 1/

If Villa can’t win it though, a new name on the trophy would be good for the game — Brighton maybe? ⚽️🏆🥅 #NCLBR #FACup

Just hope my Villa get Shitty next at home and then boot them out 🥾 It would be lovely to see the cup come home to Aston after 68 long years 🕰️ #NCLBR #FACup

Well done Brighton. A classic cup tie that had plenty for the neutral 👏 Plus, it’s always good to see the vile Saudis get a bloody nose — and cheater Gordon seeing the red mist was a major bonus 😆 #NCLBR #FACup

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

Happy St David’s Day to all my fellow Welshmen and women 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 May your good vibes be red hot, the scenery on your day out green and your mind white, a blank canvas of positive thoughts 🐉🍃 #Wales #StDavidsDay

There’s no doubt that Trump and Vance had a prearranged plan to have a very public go at Zelenskyy. To accuse him of gambling with WW3 and to gang up repeating words like ‘disrespectful’ at volume is unprecedented. It’s clearly Putin pulling the strings & the very future of Ukraine is in question!

🧵 THREAD 🧵 It’s hard to describe just how ANGRY I am after hearing of tonight’s disgrace in the White House. Blood boiling 🩸 Heart broken 💔 Fury be cold 🥶 1/

🧵 THREAD 🧵 Congratulations to Friedrich Merz and the CDU on winning Germany’s election. This is a positive result for the German people and the security and stability of our continent 🇩🇪🇪🇺 1/

Now they’re coming for LGBT people like me too. It’s only a matter of time… 😢

Free speech for me, but not for thee. Elon, when you push a steam of disinformation, you cannot complain about being noted and corrected. The Nazi Germany parallels grow ever more chilling 😢

Not satire, this is real. It’s the actual White House page. Donald I, King of The Americas 👑 Definitely NOT a dictator 👍

🧵 THREAD 🧵 After Trump’s capers these last few days, I’ve seen enough. As Europeans, Trump is now our enemy. He will put us ALL in grave danger if he does not change course. 1/

Poor Celtic…they really didn’t deserve that ☘️😢 #FCBCEL #ChampionsLeague

Fascists of a feather 🪶 If our people don’t stop them first, the world will be overrun by bigots like these. Satire aside of course 😒

If accurately reported, this is a disgrace 😤 This woman has committed serious Islamofascist terrorist offences and should be treated as a criminal, not protected from public view. The law must be changed to prevent this happening again. #RightWingRant www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02...

Great to have Unforgotten back on our screens. Drama to warm the heart during this cold winter 🥶 Tackling multiple strands of current affairs, Series 6 got off to an intriguing start. Keen to hear the thoughts of my fellow Unforgotten fans on episode one… 📺 #Unforgotten

For my Phoenix friends watching at Twickers, I hope you loved the Memorial Day Out and enjoyed this memorable triumph, a fitting epitaph to those departed, but forever loved ♥️ #SixNations #ENGvFRA

The second half today was a cracker; delivering a thrill-a-minute. The lead changed several times, France often ahead, but England always had something today and so it proved — with a last gasp try delivering marvellous memories for the nation. #SixNations #ENGvFRA

A thrilling game of rugby and a superb triumph for England against one of the best 💯 #SixNations #ENGvFRA

@JDVance is telling the world what we already know: This is an openly racist government whose hatred is openly on display. Racism isn’t “bad” anymore, it’s now acceptable. “…racist care bear…” they said 🐻

Yet again, Trump’s Gaza plan is another antidemocratic and racist disgrace before the eyes of the world. It will surely never happen, and yet…we’ve been here before haven’t we 🤦‍♂️ #Gaza #IsraelPalestine #DonaldTrump

Trump’s ridiculous Gaza plan to remove the Palestinians, with the USA to take control and effectively develop into real estate, is textbook ethnic cleansing. #Gaza #IsraelPalestine #DonaldTrump
