Looking back at ten things that I miss from cricket during the 20th century

Athlos: Awful presentation. And people have a go at the BBC (often with some justification, to be fair) for their athletics coverage...

Remember when Bielsa said that in all his years in football, he'd never been able to get the overlapping centre-back system to work? Well Daniel has. #lufc

I think we've just about got enough to be safe. I think we might surprise some people at Old Trafford. We'll need a new keeper for next season though #lufc

Lots will be blaming Farke for that, but the players have to take responsibility for losing their discipline and failure to adapt #lufc

Even Jarred Gillett has had a better first-half than Brenden #lufc

If you hype yourself up as The Big Foe, then you'd better be good, otherwise you look... kind of ridiculous really #tiafoe #USOpen

Apropos of nothing, here's Stach's Dad-a tennis commentator ofc-on location in Senegal for the charity he is a trustee of, promoting education and tennis for Senegalese kids. The charity is call the ElHadj Diouf Foundation (no, not that one). #lufc elhadj-diouf-foundation.de/2018/12/14/t...

Would have taken Stach off, rather than Tanaka, but other than that Farke made the right calls and it's a good point #lufc

It may be a cultural thing, but to this Brit, it's mystifying why #USOPEN crowds can't just STFU and watch the tennis.

Just been on The Other Place and seen the goal Perri conceded on his Torino debut. Not good. #lufc

Just a reminder for those who might think that it's difficult for recently promoted teams to splash the cash, that Ipswich's net spend this summer is £160m and includes Enciso, Emerson and Maeda #lufc

robcollins2016.bsky.social @robcollins2016.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Guess what? It's better to have players who can control a football in the team. Lesson learned? #tanaka #wilson #lufc

robcollins2016.bsky.social @robcollins2016.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Reality check. Look at Schade, Tiago and Damsgaard and tell me it is difficult to sign attacking players who are comfortable on the ball and make good decisions. #lufc

robcollins2016.bsky.social @robcollins2016.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Joe Clarke is the first man to 1000 Championship runs this season. There's no chance of England ever picking him of course (quite rightly imho), but the fact that he's nearly 200 runs ahead of any other batsman is impressive. #cricket #CountyChampionship #Notts

Dear podcast Advertising Agencies. I'm 61. No matter how much you might tempt me, I have no desire to join the Army. Sort your algorithms out. What's in it for me? Sweet FA #lufc

Certain US Tennis journalists, who were very vocal when Wimbledon awarded many of its Wildcards to Brits, seem to be silent now that Wawrinka hasn't had one, and Nishikori and Dimitrov have to go through qualifying #USOPEN #TENNIS

robcollins2016.bsky.social @robcollins2016.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

All now Farke has to do is to come up with a tactical formation that allows us to play 4 centre-backs #lufc

9 months on, the decision to pick an unfit Mark Wood instead of a fully fit Josh Tongue in the first test of the Ashes is even more inexplicable #england #engvpak #ashes

Not sure that it really needed new guidelines to indicate that the O'Nein foul on Pascal last season should have been a penalty, but hey ho. #LUFC

Ian Blackwell has just given Freddie McCann out stumped when he was clearly not out. I'm unnaturally livid about it #GLONOT #METROBANK #NOTTS

robcollins2016.bsky.social @robcollins2016.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

All 3 signings seem very sensible to me. What's going on?😉I have confidence that we'll sign another keeper and a LB before the season starts. Judging by past performances however, I have less confidence that we'll get the 'difference maker' we need in order to kick on. Hope I'm proved wrong #LUFC

The owners of the club didn't get where they are by feeding information to local newspaper journalists #LUFC

It's perhaps as well the Commonwealth Games is behind a paywall, given how badly most of our (able-bodied) track and field athletes are performing #COMMONWEALTHGAMES

It's nearly a year until the Ashes, and I've already got bored of people complaining because it's Headingley and Old Trafford's turn to miss out on a test this year. #ASHES #CRICKET

Always remember reading Kevin Keegan's first book as a child. He backed Don Revie at a time when had a lot of critics, even though Don had dropped him. Struck me as a decent bloke. #LUFC #LFC #NUFC

something utterly beautiful about the fact that the most hyped, gilded, oversold, VVIP’d football game of all time has been an absolute stinking turnip. sport will always find a way!

Can we learn the lessons of the past and give Josh Tongue a break now? #ENGVIND #CRICKET
