BBC should have sacked Lineker a long time ago. If it fails to act now after this pathetic response from him, then the damage Davie says he's concerned about is magnified.

The big acts of self-harm are still killing off analogue radio stations. DAB and other digital broadcasting will be worthless is stuff is going wrong in a big way

Just had a great big "Fuckity-bye" from Tesco. I imagine many others have too.

This is like reading one of those horrific VAW miscarriages of justice from 30 years ago www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Another big job passes Harry by.

How big is the Bradford point deduction for that pitch invasion going to be?

Some of our team are on the beach but Matt Richie is fighting his own Monte Cassino out there

I nearly went to work for Beales 20 years ago. Now they are closing because of Rachel Reeves www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/04...

From a fiery article in the Times of London. They shut down the Colosseum so JD could get a private tour. Everyone else who'd gotten tickets in advance was out of luck. So many layers contained in the passage about the irate Trump voter in the second graf. www.thetimes.com/world/europe...

Highly recommend From Beer To Eternity in Havant Park. Popped in yesterday and enjoyed it immensely! www.frombeer2eternity.com

BBC News channel sports coverage still obsessed with the miracle of Merch Utd beating 10 men, nothing on today's games. Abject failure

Very Johnson-era, and just the stuff that made Starmer boil in opposition

One of the worst refereeing performances at Fratton in decades

I used to think the BBC should be turned into a subscription service, but I think just abolishing it is probably as good an idea now

Fun live 3D map of the London Underground, showing buildings too: www.londonundergroun...

Strangeness of popular culture that for the last 10 years I've heard Tiny Dancer on the radio every day when for the previous 40 I don't suppose I heard it once a year. Complete reversal of position with Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Bringing my moaning about uselessness of Voi bike distribution in north of city to this platform

Excellent pint of Pressed Rat in the reopened Fifth Hants. Let's hope it continues

UKIP are nuts, and I don't have a stake in Lib/Lab competition in Pompey but I'm embarrassed for Steve Pitt that he's chasing disaffected Labour lefty votes by courting PSC antisemites and loony left www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/politic...

I don't think they are on here but the new Drayton Tavern just opposite where the New Inn used to be is excellent. Had a couple in there last night on the way home. Some Staggeringly, Powder Monkey, Paulaner, proper cider. Well worth a look.

Local government funding crisis must be even worse than I imagined

That's how you punish mistakes - one by the South Stand lino at the start of Murphy's goal and a minute later one by QPR

Mark Kelly on Solent talking about John Marquis' continued failings with penalty misses: "Knowing John, it will have been someone's fault. Not his, but it will have been someone's". Kells is someone you want with you in the trenches. Marquis not so much.

These people are so weak

Depends, if the new owners put it back the way John had it, rather than try to tart it up into something it wasn't, maybe it would be packed out again www.portsmouth.co.uk/lifestyle/fo...

Verzet "Naughty Napoleon" smells like a newspaper on a hot day, flat Coca Cola sweetness. But actually an outstanding stout once you drink your way into it. Another Huis banger
