He's going to start World War 3, isn't he?

Trump needs to go.

Just when you think youโ€™ve been in Home Bargains for the final time before Christmas Day, you find yourself in there again buying cat treats, washing up liquid and ibuprofen.

And thereโ€™s still four more days to go.

Apparently thereโ€™s some kind of massively one-sided sporting event happening tonight when most of us in the UK will be asleep.

But first thereโ€™s Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua.

Watching #QuestionTime special Scottish edition and theyโ€™re talking a lot about Emma Gration. Who is she, cos theyโ€™ve got a lot of options on her

Spent a couple of days in Blackpool. Saw some gig adverts cycling on a big screen:

๐Ÿฅฑ Roy Chubby Brown: โ€˜No Offence Meantโ€™

๐Ÿฅฑ Katie Hopkins: โ€˜Batshit Broken Britainโ€™

โ€ฆfollowed by an image of poppies in a field with the message: โ€˜Lest We Forgetโ€™.

Scottish Prem looks a bit mad:

Hibs have won just 2 of 8 and are third top.
Motherwell have lost just 2 of 8 and are third bottom.

So many draws. Rangers with 6 from 8. Hearts top.

Itโ€™s got some incredible lines.

Just the sheer breadth of characters, from Doug Rocket to his flatmate Toby, Noel Fielding, the guys from Sugar Ape, Kevin Eldon and Elizabeth the catโ€ฆ every element of their characters, every line, every word, it all feels so considered and accurate.

๐Ÿ˜… haha thanks! Although I dunnoโ€ฆ Iโ€™ve used a few choice expressions in the office, albeit quoting the show rather than *actually* meaning them. But to someone who doesnโ€™t know that, theyโ€™ll probably take me at face value and think Iโ€™m a prannock

Been re-watching Nathan Barley (again). Absurd to think it panned at the time - the writing is incredible, every character (including the most peripheral) has so much depth, the casting is phenomenalโ€ฆ

The world just wasnโ€™t ready for it. Not for at least 20 years, anyway.

Bit late to the party on this one, but wanted to share.

When BANNAN came on, the sweary guy next to me shouts: "Fuck off you scotch cunt! And take your haggis with you!"

Then turns to his mate and says (in a lower and maturer tone): "He's a good little player, though."

Made me chuckle.

โ€œIโ€™m here today because I want to live in a country where I can wave my flag and be free to say what I want to say,โ€ cries a blokeโ€ฆ while waving his flagโ€ฆ and freely saying what he wants to sayโ€ฆ on national TV.

I imagine there were a few Zoom calls and plenty of hours lost as senior creatives and brand marketers at McVities tried to decide whether it was best to go with โ€˜peelโ€™ or โ€˜unpeelโ€™ here

I fear the Hull version of anything will always sound less appealing.

Reminds me of a football-mad Hull boy who got pink gloves for his birthday from his aunt (who wasnโ€™t from Hull).

Confused why he was upset, he reiterated his request - that he wanted a pair of โ€˜girlyโ€™ (goalie) gloves.

Just had turd in hurl.

Or toad in the hole, if youโ€™re not from Hull.

If I ever bothered to start and maintain my niche league table for absolutely shite referees who give us penalties, todayโ€™s would be right up there. #GTFC

Absolutely. And Iโ€™d love to see the video they played on the big screen just before kick-off again. Probably wonโ€™t feel the same away from the moment, but still. Raised a few hairs on my neck!

That Amorim quote where heโ€™s saying sometimes he loves his players, sometimes he hates his playersโ€ฆ is this what passes for modern, forward-thinking, innovative, elite football coaches these days?

He sounds a bit unhinged. Compare that style to David Artellโ€™s. Whoโ€™d you rather report into?

Iโ€™m on the BBC Sport app, havenโ€™t even clicked on the football tab yet, and I can see FOUR articles dedicated to Man Utdโ€™s defeat to Arsenal yesterday.

There were other games, and there are other sports, out there.

I work with a lot of Man Utd fans. We never thought our paths would cross, so today has beenโ€ฆ interesting.

As Iโ€™m sure the next two weeks will be.
