Genuinely envious of Amol Rajan's high opinion of himself. Can only dream of such delusion. #TheTraitors

[James Stewart as Odysseus] now listen here, Agamemnon, I'm going home, y'see. You keep your fancy armour, I'm getting off this crummy ol' beach. [Spotting the Cyclops] now here's a curious fella, he's only got one peeper

A turgid 0-0 World Cup final is exactly what we need to scare off the Americans

Wow, a national anthem that pumps the team up? Have they not considered some dreary shite about never wanting some rich guy to die?

Supporting Spurs has unfortunately made me immune to crushing disappointment. This is a holiday to me.

GABRIEL CLARKE: Thomas, you’re into the semi final. Your thoughts THOMAS TUCHEL: football is suffering, it is futile

In fairness to Jude Bellingham, I don't think he was pissed off at being told that Tuchel was not happy with the performance. He was pissed off at Gabriel Clarke for trying to shit-stir and get a reaction from him on TV.

Deploying Mr Brightside so the England fans won't boo the hydration break is diabolical behaviour, fair play

Very funny that the narrative around the Ghana game was that England struggled against a low-block and now it seems they are struggling against expansive, attacking football. Doesn't seem good!

This football is spiritually Thomas Frank. You can kill the man but not the idea.

House of the Dragon is a compelling reminder that what made Game of Thrones a sensation had nothing to do with scale and everything to do with strong, vivid, colourful characters.

A lot of the time, when you call someone "the best to ever do it," it's hyperbole. But when it comes to classic multi-cam sitcom direction, Burrows was without any scintilla of a doubt the best to ever do it. RIP.

The poignant 'don't take me home' chant always gets me. I also don't want to go to work. I also want to drink lots of beer.

tbf I saw a play on Broadway last year and couldn't believe how annoyingly boisterous the crowd were! It made me wonder whether American actors come to the West End and assume the audiences here hate them.

Jack Whitehall is #SNLUK's first stinker, I fear. Such a charmless, off-putting presence.

Oh yeah The Pitt being available to watch in the UK means that I can now talk openly about The Pitt. I love The Pitt. I am obsessed with The Pitt. Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch is my friend. Santos is the worst character on television. I want Whitaker to give me an appendectomy.

Enjoying #SNLUK so far. Sketch comedy is ludicrously difficult to pull off but there's a breezy quality to the filmed sketches and the ramshackle live studio stuff is endearing. Lots of teething issues obv but that's to be expected. Promising!
