Rodri claiming that whatever the judicial panels say, nothing can take away the Manchester City players' achievements, as if their glittering squads were assembled by magic.

Seeing a lot of "I actually like this one". Sting has made loads of great records. His being a nob doesn't change that. Maybe enhances it. #notTOTP
"Can't think why The Police split up" as Copeland drops his drumstick for a third time and Summers shreds out a searing solo on an acoustic guitar. #notTOTP
I'm sure you can just tell Stewart Copeland to fuck off without making up some bananas story about blue turtles. #notTOTP
Fascinated at Janice Long refusing to say words in brackets – 'Died In Your Arms', 'Live And Die'. #TOTP
Always There when you haven't done your homework and it's school tomorrow. #TOTP
Three from that countdown on the comp. And probably a couple of songs too obscure even for this. B B & Q? Can't remember at all. #TOTP
Matthew Horton@matthewhorton.com · 4d agoHere's the new 1986 edition. Includes forgotten bangers too, of course, and the revelation that Sigur Rós nicked Hoppípolla from the intro to Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam with Full Force's terrible All Cried Out.
Didn't watch any matches or hear any football news last night, and still I dreamt Kai Havertz got injured. This is on me. Sorry, friends.

I already drink beer on the terraces. Seventh tier football FTW. As a season ticket holder I also have it in a branded hard plastic glass from the special bar that charges a quid for the pleasure, which you can claim back if you return it, but they pull the shutters down on 85 mins.
Think I've found the perfect way to annoy all of Bluesky at once. Just had a PR email about One Hit Wonder Day, in which a DJ has picked his top 5 one hit wonders and included Soft Cell's Tainted Love.
No compilation does 'fourth single from the album' quite like the Now Yearbook Vault series.
Any second now another person who's only heard the title track is going to call Tusk a weird album.
Just noticed my favourite jacket's cuffs are fraying.

All my Arsenal mutuals stressed and frustrated. Me happy and satisfied watching Dartford 1-0 up against Hayes and Yeading in the FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round.
The cosmic alchemy that's preventing Spurs ever scoring again is fuelling a mad performance from Villa's keeper.
And they said you can't mix Carleen Anderson into Innerzone Orchestra. And I can't. Someone might though.
Middle-born is off to university tomorrow, so I'm hugging her every time I see her. Think she's brought it forward to tonight.
Lot of context-free reposts of that screenshot saying Lisa Nandy had 'heard' and 'was listening' to Piddington. That was a courtesy. She went on to say all communities, rich and poor, had to accept these facilities being placed locally while claims were processed, and this vote wouldn't change it.
Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.
Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul are back with Googoo Gaga, which is, of course, a 'sharp, tender portrait of motherhood, care and the invisible labour of raising a child told through the Flemish folktale, De Mammelokker'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MqJ...

BBC Breakfast managing to treat the Piddington bigot vote as both a quaint 'and finally...' story and a significant 'message to Andy Burnham'. That berk John Kay tumescent.
Ed Sheeran's pedalboard quits tour: 'This is for the downtrodden worldwide'
Interesting take, I assumed just go for it was the best approach.
Amol Rajan's performative aghast face. The Go! Team's Bottle Rocket DOES sound a bit like Salt 'n' Pepa. #UniversityChallenge
Had an unlikely urge to dig out my old Hothouse Flowers LP and even play it. Not impressed with 20-minutes-ago me. And as for the 16-year-old me who bought it—oh, you're ok, kid. Can't be helped.
