When a win is not a win, #watfordfc style. Lots of possession, lots of shots, but last-gasp 1-0 win vs Crawley raised many concerns. Strong midfield, but CB quality is worrying and striker position is serious problem. Can see us controlling play but giving up too many goals, scoring too few.

I think it would be useful if journalists stopped adding the word 'radical' to descriptions of energy secretaries for the apparent reason that they understand the urgency of the climate crisis. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

In her first 48 hours as energy secretary, Miatta Fahnbulleh was left in no doubt about the thorny policy decision at the top of her in-tray. Protesters from Fossil Free London met her outside her new offices dressed as firefighters holding placards reading: “We’re already putting out fires, don’t start new ones.”

The MP for Peckham – a radical economist who is outspoken about the climate crisis – is a surprising choice as secretary of state for energy and net zero for those who believe the speculation in Westminster that Andy Burnham wants to approve new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea.

An opportunity for genuine change in Britain. Great perspective from @iandunt.bsky.social on why the progressive left needs to embrace it, not continue to be caught in the cycle of misery that plays into the far right's hands.

Brilliant Spain the deserving winner over nasty Argentina. Even as an Italy fan, so much to appreciate with this Spain team - developing young talent, multi-faceted play, controlling and relentless under pressure. Well done, La Roja.

Invited the pressure, unable to cope with it, sadly predictable outcome for England. Hard to believe Tuchel thought it would work against Argentina, letting them play football. The better team won with a better performance.

Mediocre season for #watfordfc summed up with five straight losses and a final day embarrassment. Duxbury fronting our owner's failings and blaming it on recruitment says so much about how broken the club is and how bad Pozzo's rule has become. There's no future until Pozzo is gone.

Devastated. Arrivederci, #Azzurri. A dreadful match from Italy, from bad coaching to poor performances to an obvious red card. The soul-searching must lead to wholesale change in Italian football. Unacceptable.

Olympics TV broadcasting in the UK is truly diabolical. Programme listings bear no resemblance to events being shown. Inane chatter and interviews rather than live events. "Coming up next" and then an entirely different sport. How have BBC and TNT Sports both done this so badly?

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

#WatfordFC on 1W-2D-4L (including League Cup) on the season. Grim performances, players disjointed on pitch, Pezzolano seemingly without a formation or a fix. With three very winnable matches upcoming, how long does it go on? Over to you, Pozzo...

Grim performance from #watfordfc in the Elton John tribute. No structure to formation, no pace to attack, no coherence to how players managed game. Pezzolano after six matches doesn't seem to know best players or formation. Pressure building?

Lovely day in the sunshine, 15 minutes door-to-door away day, fans in great voice, but a poor showing from #watfordfc. Pezzo-ball hard to define, no clear strategy or plan. Players out of position didn't impress. Kjerrumgaard far too isolated. Subs by Pezzolano worsened play. Mid-table ahoy!

Cannot help feel Pozzo's seemingly swift and sigificant transfer action reinforces he simply refused to back Tom Cleverley. Whether that's out of principle, stubbornness or ignorance of what was required, it undermined the manager's and club's chance for success. #watfordfc

21 managers in 13 years, time for another go. At what point does Gino Pozzo acknowledge his own failures. Because if it's been wrong 21 times, surely that is his responsibility, not all 21 managers' fault. Out of ideas, unwilling to change, making the same bad choices again. #watfordfc
