@chartmusictotp.bsky.social There's no denying, he looked like Kiki Dee with a beard. #RIPBillOddie

It was with some delight that I realised, all too late in life, that Bill Oddie sang the jingle 'What has a hazelnut in every bite?' for the Topic ads in the 1970s. Wonderful stuff. #rip
@chartmusictotp.bsky.social I've just realised what a bad month it's been for survivors of Brown Sauce's 'I Wanna Be A Winner.' First we lost Penelope Keith, now Kevin Keegan. By my reckoning, there's only Clare Francis, Willie Carson and Geoff Boycott left now...
Never mind, Argentina. You've got four years now to relearn the art of having a shot on target. #worldcup
I'd quite like this World Cup Final to be over now. It's serving no-one any purpose anymore. #worldcup
Spain have certainly mastered the art of shooting straight at the keeper in this match. #worldcup
Oh dear. This is the bit where Argentina start playing football. #worldcup
Is there anything more pointless in modern football than someone holding up a board indicating substitutions? In this final, there are video screens literally everywhere. #worldcup
If this game goes on like this for a further ten minutes I think they should abandon it and, on the strength of last night's game, award the World Cup to England.
The Half Time Show can go hang. I'm going to spend the time feeding my chickens and making a cup of coffee. #worldcup #priorities
I'm so glad this World Cup has given us the chance to see Hollywood actors so often. It gives the players something to aspire to when they're rolling around on the pitch pretending to be fouled. #worldcup
I'm going to be strangely disorientated when, from tomorrow, I won't get to see Infantino's smug face nine minutes after I switch my TV on. #worldcup
USA sure knows how to stink out a worldwide institution. #worldcup
Gotta say how nice it is to see a World Cup Final played in sunshine. Doesn't happen too often. #worldcup
A bit tiring, hearing so many 'experts' saying "Why couldn't England do that against Argentina?", as if the third-placed match is a semi-final.
I think I prefer these rejected designs for the official logo and mascot of the 1978 World Cup.
England v Argentina. An exercise in using aggression and deception to enforce nationalistic superiority as an alternative to playing football. #worldcup
Lamine Yamal, offside by the smallest of margins - a wagging finger. #worldcup
I think it's fair to say that the era of the obscure Golden Boot winner is over. Salento, Schillaci, your work is done. #worldcup
John Lennon wouldn't have scored that goal, but a Norwegian wood. #worldcup
