Maybe this a bit deep, but if you were a pub Mr Watson, how could you also be the Jukebox? Not so easy methinks.

Bracknell Cricket Club already has a permanent home. As did the Football Club before it (next door).

If anyones looking for a long read this morning, I’ve published my first club feature after vowing to visit every senior men’s and women’s team this season. footballinberkshire.co.uk/features/opi...

I have a theory about England at the World Cup and the defensive issues. They hadn’t needed to defend in a competitive game for two years. It wasn’t therefore a massive surprise we were a bit shit at it.

Sorry mate, I won’t come in wearing trainers again.

Having finished bottom of a World Cup prediction league, I will predictably, do very badly at this. But you might not! (Free to enter and there might be a prize)

Oh I’m not. It’s sad that hoping for better is ‘much’.

Tom Canning @tomcanning83.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Let me know as and when. Happy to chat through any concept/ideas before you commit to a random

@sofpodcast.com if you’d ever like to have a bit of Berkshire football chat, early rounds of the FA Cup, that sort of thing, I’d be keen!

Evening Philippe, what is the BEST case scenario here? Is it a least worst option or is there a genuine reform (not that Reform) candidate who could win and save us all? I’m a positive person and I want to believe!

UEFA spokesperson Dietmar Fumm said to reporters "This decision effectively signals that Gianni Infantino is an enemy of world football". tl;dr: FIFA "foe" - Fumm

Really enjoying all these these blokes recently (and it’s always blokes) sticking their necks out thinking everyone will role over for them, only to discover that they’ve wildly miscalculated..

With apologies Philippe, I now properly know how to spell your name because I came straight to Bluesky to find out if it was indeed, a good thing or not.

Suw, I’m in Lanzarote and I took my shirt off for no more than five minutes.

I grew up in Bracknell and I can only assume people are confusing with Coral Reef up the road.

You’re thinking of Coral Reef up the road, easy mistake to make.

Used to play Broadmoor FC in kids football. Absolutely terrifying. Of course it was just a kids team that played in the area called Broadmoor the prison took its name from, but still

I’ve been working for Bat For A Chance, a cricket charity dedicated to opening up access to the game in the UK and abroad. I’d really appreciate it if you could pop on this reel and tag some cricketers you like!! Thanks. www.instagram.com/reel/DbD4JQJ...

Dear @matkendrick.bsky.social - daughters made friends with a girl from the midlands on holiday. Am probably going to chat to the parents later at the kids disco so a) what are the top topics of Midlands conversation right now and b) what if they’re Blues?

Corr, remember when Haiti had to change their World Cup 26 shirts because of political elements.

There are a glut of podcasts that started out as video pods - or at least were predominantly video pods before they became a thing. For example Claret & Blue the Villa pod which I briefly worked with. Views were fantastic, but I doubt people were sitting down to watch, just listening via YouTube.

Ditto. Also, Fat Bottomed Girls is a perfect karaoke song for a big man.

I have no doubt, but a bit like England in World Cups, you’ve got to enjoy it while it lasts.

While I almost always nod along to everything you share Erik, on this particular occasion I must humbly disagree. Nigel Farage and his hubris is going to be embarrassed by a bloke with a bin on his head whether he wins or loses and I’m here for it.

Hey @bethcooper.fyi - could I drop you a DM about Bat For A Chance?

Morning all. Here’s an idea of what we’re looking to do this coming season @footballinberkshire.co.uk. If you know of someone within your club that might like to help, or a budding sports journalist in general, please do pass this on. footballinberkshire.co.uk/news/footbal...

Fancy yourself a football reporter? Football in Berkshire can get you started – Football in Berkshire

Football in Berkshire is aiming to increase its coverage across the County with specialist patches to cover - from Reading to Newbury and Bracknell to Burghfield.

The age old question of ‘what if it was Harry Kane?’ But this shouldn’t even be a thing.

I mean, you are absolutely correct.

Contrast with the video of Tuchel and John Stones in the dressing room 🤷‍♂️

Imagine the scrutiny he’d have to face if he were ever to be Prime Minister. That’s if he turned up of course.

Still on an England comedown. Hot take, time for people to stop slating and groaning when certain players come on. It’s not the same as it was 10 years ago. Trust the manager.

Was this phrase anything to do with TVs having their own little aerials? I had one at university - mostly used for N64 playing!

What I’ve learned from the heatwave discourse is that there’s a lot of people triggered by those of us who like to walk around with a bottle of water. Now I know this, somedays I might not even bother filling it up.
