Blimey, I've designed some half-decent stuff in my time...

Man City should have got Bernard Tapie while they had the chance.

I can highly recommend both of the 'De Gaulle' films. Great acting, particularly on the part of Simon Abkarian as the French leader.

@goonpod.bsky.social Hi Tyler! I’m a regular listener to Goon Pod and really enjoy it. I’ve done some research for a possible episode idea about The Goons' appearances on TV commercials, and have put together some notes about it. Is there an email address I could use to send it to you privately?

I am frankly stunned by this recent development.

@sofpodcast.com Jarrod Bowen to Palace? I nearly drove my car off the road when I heard that...

18 August 2001 The new FA Premier League season got under way. For the first time, ITV was presenting the highlights and had their own results service programme. Controversially, the highlights were shown at 7pm on Saturday night. This was a flop and they soon moved it to late night.

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...

It's important to leave behind some memories. #RIP #kevinkeegan

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

Chris Oakley @chrisdoakley.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Spain have certainly mastered the art of shooting straight at the keeper in this match. #worldcup

Chris Oakley @chrisdoakley.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Oh dear. This is the bit where Argentina start playing football. #worldcup

Chris Oakley @chrisdoakley.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

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.

Just walked back in the room to see what's going on in the Half Time Show. #worldcup

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

Chris Oakley @chrisdoakley.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

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.

Chris Oakley @chrisdoakley.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

I think I prefer these rejected designs for the official logo and mascot of the 1978 World Cup.

Chris Oakley @chrisdoakley.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Nothing makes me laugh more than reading the comments of former England internationals, telling us how England could have won the game. Some light relief is just what we needed. #worldcup #england

Chris Oakley @chrisdoakley.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

England v Argentina. An exercise in using aggression and deception to enforce nationalistic superiority as an alternative to playing football. #worldcup

Chris Oakley @chrisdoakley.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Lamine Yamal, offside by the smallest of margins - a wagging finger. #worldcup

If only England could extend their lead. I know... #worldcup

Chris Oakley @chrisdoakley.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

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

Chris Oakley @chrisdoakley.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Norway's players seemed almost reluctant to celebrate their goal. Feels wrong somehow. #worldcup

Chris Oakley @chrisdoakley.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Been watching the match with severe internet lag. Got up in frustration to go for a pee, at which point England scored. Typical.

I haven't seen much of the official mascots in this tournament. Were they arrested by ICE? #worldcup

Chris Oakley @chrisdoakley.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

After all that... a penalty was saved that shouldn't have been given anyway, that took five minutes to be given. #FRAMAR #WorldCup

Chris Oakley @chrisdoakley.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Tony Sanabria's miss from the spot in the Round of 32 match for Paraguay against Germany was the 100th penalty shoot-out miss in World Cup history. Cucho Hernández's miss for Colombia against Switzerland in the Round of 16 is already the 113th. #worldcup

Farage. The man who puts the dic in contradiction.

Chris Oakley @chrisdoakley.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

I'm going to propose a World Cup where each match is essentially a penalty shoot-out. It's what the world's crying out for. #worldcup

Chris Oakley @chrisdoakley.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Can anyone tell me what's the point of assistant referees? They're so late to put their flag up that the ref may as well get a signal on their headset and have done with it. #worldcup
