This #BBC2 1976 Hits special says “The Roussos Phenomenon” is the only EP to reach number one in the UK singles chart. Erm… no. “The Specials Live EP” did in early 1980. #notTOTP

Utterly predictable from spineless Spurs. A snatch of individual quality in front of goal from Mbuemo. We’ve always had at least one person capable of that. Not so now. #thfc

Every week Brighton seem to win with a goal from a player I’ve never heard of. How on earth do they do it? They just miraculously pluck PL-ready players out of the ether. God their system is good. #seagulls #bha

Seconded. TSC were the canine’s gonads between 1983-85, especially for those of us too young to be over possessive about The Jam. #TOTP

This record absolutely deserves its place in Pet Shop Boys’ imperial-period canon. Liza was perfect for them.

I’n curious about the headline Sky Sports News uses here as its main quote from City’s coach from an interview today. Maresca speaks good English, but like many Italians is prone to occasionally using false cognates or L1 syntax/grammar interference. 1/2 #skysportsnews

Polanski not voting on the Greens' 'Zionism is Racism' policy is an abdication of leadership, on such a contentious and high-profile issue. To lead is to choose. To fail to choose is to fail to lead. You cannot vibe your way out of issues marked 'too difficult'. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Green Party members back 'Zionism is racism' conference motion

The vote has caused divisions among figures at the top of the party at its conference in Brighton.

The open secret re: the Greens is that the UK has a tiny set of full time rabid ‘left-wing’ antisemites who move from org to org trying to turn them into full time monomaniacal antisemites like themselves.

So do we assume that Ireland’s Gavin Bazunu would refuse to play Palestine - which has a FIFA national team - because of the Palestinian leadership-sanctioned barbaric rapes, murders and massacring of over a thousand innocent people - Jews and non-Jews, Israelis and many others - on 7/10/23?

Every time someone links to this film, I have to repost it. It's one of the most significant bits of British 20th century art. Everything about it is incredible. Groundbreaking music production by Daphne Oram. Amazing camera work by Wolfgang Suschitzky (who later filmed Get Carter).-

It’s “Electronic Renaissance” by Belle and Sebastian! Only joking, kids. Great song, still very much JD but the next single is where New Order properly takes over.

It’s a shame this #TOTP of “You’re Lying” is one they re-recorded specially for the show’s draconian rules, as the single version absolutely funks the place out. Bloody ace.

Interesting. Maybe they’ll rename the restaurant in Muswell Hill/West Hampstead “Rooney’s”, with a hard Hebrew ‘Roo’ sound. www.telegraph.co.uk/football/202...

Seeing #Sunderland fans do their pre-match rendition of Can’t Help Falling In Love, I can’t help but sing - in my head - the Stylistics’ mid-70s hit version, which would have been the first I knew. With that chap’s falsetto lead vocals we used to imitate, and cheesy handclaps in the chorus. #TOTP

I hadn’t seen Legs and Co’s routine for “Another One Bites Teh Dust” before, but it seems clear that Flick Colby had taken notice of the “Ashes To Ashes” video a matter of weeks earlier- there’s even a bit where the dancers kneel forward artfully to pick up a glove from the floor. #queenatthebbc
