Sadly, blue sky really isn't a viable alternative for twitter. It's just not got the user base.

The Leeds support is absolutely insane. I know it's widely acknowledged but even home games are absolutely rammed with people.

Alan Shearer is a fucking abysmal commentator.

Is anyone else sick of ITV and their shit picture quality? It's so blurry and soft. It almost looks like SD quality. It's particularly annoying during sporting events.

You want to understand the genius of Pep Guardiola (and its recent unravelling)? It's all in the spit. After years of studying Pep gob, I finally get to write about it www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Great expectorations: to understand Manchester City study Guardiola’s mouth

Yes, in the manager’s spit we can begin to grasp his quest for perfection and the champions’ recent unravelling

I really really wish the camera would avoid Pep during games. It's vile to see him do this continually

Surely Spurs fans want Ange out now? Not just due to results, but everything about the man is bitter, negative, full of attitude and passive aggression. Everytime I hear or see the guy on TV he just sounds devoid of any humour or spirit. #thfc #coys

Observations: Good game, especially compared to Stockport. It flowed well. #Readingfc look lightweight without the same physicality as Bolton and most other teams. Unsurprisingly. Impressed with Wareham, Dean and Craig. Bolton have travelled in good numbers and made some good noise.

I'm not a fan of this commentator on the crystal palace game. Either of them actually.

Gary @garyhooks.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

Just saw the Arsenal red card. Absolutely ridiculous decision. I've no idea how that's justified and what exactly VAR is there for if not to provide professional advice like "you may wish to reconsider as I think you've made a mistake". There's about 100 camera angles, use them.

There is more atmosphere in a funeral home than this Man City stadium. It's absolutely dire and very difficult to enjoy. #mciche #cfc #mcfc #chelsea

They need identifying and banned. Anyone with a "can I have your shirt" sign should be immediately removed.

Stockport the better team, #Readingfc really poor. I think the worst I've seen all season. Absolutely no issue losing, however: Stockport's behaviour was hard to tolerate. The constant shirt pulling and fouls. The physio refusing to walk off the short way. ...

This is the worst refereeing performance in recent memory. At least this season. #readingfc

Gary @garyhooks.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

We are so so so so slooow. Throwins= savage picks up and always then drops it for kanu, who sometimes then drops it for Bindon No intensity. Just get fucking on with it Ref also has to stop shirt pulling, holding and the GK taking an age to get ball back in play 3/10 so far. Abysmal #readingfc

Tottenham keeper is having a nightmare Also completely unsurprised Tottenham scored. Arsenal have threatened loads but with no end product and no actual shots #afc #arstot #spurs #tottenham #coys #arsenal

Gary @garyhooks.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

As a football fan, the insistence or every single club to play from the back is so mind numbingly boring. I miss the days where the keeper would quickly just smash it up the pitch.

Everytime I find myself on a train, I just get reminded how utterly shit they are Even buying a ticket is confusing, with so many options - off peak, super off peak, Sunday ticket. All displayed when I tried to buy one. Oh and all Waterloo trains are off due to engineering works.

I've got absolutely no time for accounts which limit responses. How much clearer a message of "I don't want opposing views" can that be? I've started blocking accounts that do this now.

BBC Radio Berkshire saying that there are significant concerns in the club around how this month's bills will be paid. Insiders now more seriously discussing administration and options, such as player sales. #readingfc

If you know anyone that doesn't like football, show them a replay of that Liverpool Vs Man United game. Amazing stuff.

I can't emphasise enough just how sick I am of the media's obsession with the top four clubs. Talk sport and Sky Sports News. A constant cycle or Man City, Arsenal etc. When did you last hear them mention Rochdale, Doncaster, Barrow or Walsall? Headlines today was all about Harry Maguire. 😴

This could be a 7 or 8 goaler at this point. Liverpool are on fire.
