Solidarity with Local Democracy Reporter Eddie Bisknell who has become the latest journalist to be 'banned' by a Reform-led council, this time in Derbyshire. On this occasion a senior Reform councillor took the bizarre step of announcing the ban during an interview on BBC Radio Derby!

Allegedly we are planning a £125m bid for Gibbs-White. Not sure we need another midfielder who has no-one to pass to. Surely £125m on a striker who can actually score would be a better choice #COYS

My friends son turned 18 recently. These two “men” attacked him without provocation yesterday afternoon at Liverpool St station. 2 lost teeth, broken collarbone, 8 stitches. Hope the #COYS family coming back from the game share this and get them what they deserve. www.btp.police.uk/news/btp/new...

We have to give it time, it’s been four games. Personally Madison in at 10 would make a big difference. Even try Kudus there. #COYS

There's something deeply alarming happening with the local press in Dorset. The Bournemouth Echo appears to have become a mouthpiece, and even a recruiting arm, for the far right

I’ll take it. Best Tonali has played (very low bar I know), Marmoush and Savio have more to come, Kudus getting back to fitness. Tel still has no end product, Gallagher still isn’t a 10, defence is getting there. Onwards and upwards. #COYS

MOTD Marmoush touched the ball before the toon defender caught him so it’s NOT a penalty Also MOTD Allison caught him after the attacker had touched the ball so it IS a penalty. Ffs #COYS

Still believe. Tonali isn’t there, the #10 is waiting to be filled busy a fit player. Tel is so far from being ready. Archie is not a RB Need a STRIKER!!!! Van Hecke improved a bit But I still believe, because that is all Spurs fans have ever had, blind hope that one day it will get better

We were pretty awful, but I’ve been Spurs for 60 years and we’ve been awful before, a lot more times than we have been good. But on just a couple of occasions I glimpsed a future under DeZerbi, one move of snappy one touch passes gave me enough hope. Always #COYS

Well the only way is up but the CB pairing look like they only just met, Richy is lost, Archie shouldn’t be RB and several just don’t look fit or sharp. Tel is trying to make it happen The only way is up I guess #COYS

We lost it, the crosses from Paul, the shots from Fernandez, we were warned again and again. Annoying to see the actions of Romero on Pickford after the goal, the right back on Bellingham near the end. They don’t need to do it but they do, guess that’s what makes them winners. #COYS

I don’t know much about Tonali, but it feels like Spurs board think that to compete we need a £100m midfielder (like the ‘big’ teams did with Rice, MacAllister, Fernandez), who is available for that? Instead of buying a midfielder who might be worth £100m (Wharton, Anderson). #COYS

If Brighton want Vuskovic so bad, why don’t we loan him to them for a year. We are supposedly looking to loan him anyway and he’d be getting prem experience. We could even slap a loan or buy clause with 150m Brighton only deal. #COYS

One week into the window and it already feels like all the rest. Transfer bingo card of ‘Free transfer’, ‘potential’, ‘one for the future’, ‘tried to get it over the line’, ‘difficult’, ‘rejected move’, ‘poached’ Im sure there are more. Window will close and we will still have Lange. #COYS

We can moan about referees but at the end of the day we just don’t have the quality where it matters. Should have let Frank go five games earlier. Tel, Muani, Richarlison, you can run around as much as you want but you need the quality and decision making when it matters. Still in our hands #COYS

Watching FA cup on BBC, they are showing Chelsea beating Man City in the 5th round a few years back. What a team Chelsea had, a pity most of them were bought because they cheated and broke so many financial rules. That should be displayed as a banner under every showing of their wins from then.

Brexit, by every measure, has been a complete disaster. Yet its chief architect hasn't been held to account for that (feels like it's barely even mentioned) and has somehow become more popular with the electorate, to the point where he has a genuine chance of becoming PM. Make it make sense
