6/ Mark Chapman, Steve Wilson, Seb Hutchison, Pat Nevin, Danny Murphy and Joe Hart are all marvellous so all is not lost, and EFL football remains wonderful.

5/ Fix VAR and refereeing inconsistency before the game dies. I remember the nearly forgotten joy of spontaneously celebrating a goal or when offside was used to stop attacking players gain unfair advantage. Now it’s ordeal by toenail widths.

4/ No more screaming “Can/would you believe it?” on comms (And “brilliant” gets done to death on the cricket). It’s been heard before. And stop writing pre-scripted lines and puns about players and teams. They’re as spontaneous as bloody turkey and presents at Christmas.

3/ And find something original of your own choosing to wear instead of spray on trousers, white platform trainers, and a beige or black polo top. I’m sure other combos will work with blue screen backdrops.

2/ This includes parroting buzzwords like “mentality”, “contact” and “100%”. Try saying “yes” or “agreed” and your paymasters at Sky can get to their wall to wall gambling ad breaks quicker.

1/ I was pleased to see Mr Arseblog write about Tedious media narratives in typically razor sharp and entertaining style. I’m also thoroughly sick of listening to too many pundits (ex pros and hosts)recycling a lazy narrative. arseblog.com/2026/09/tedi...

Trump thought suing the BBC would intimidate them. Instead, they turned his own lawsuit into a legal headache that could force him to defend his actions surrounding January 6 under oath. That is the kind of self inflicted karma no political strategist could have scripted.

I can't stop thinking about this utterly delicious anecdote in last week's Guardian Q&A with Mark Williams...

Are you utterly tired of hearing your catchphrases being quoted or yelled at you? CaptainLib:

"If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. I was once near the front end of the platform at Clapham Junction in London and a train pulled up. The driver was level with me and he looked at me once. The train waited for a while. Then, just before the whistle blew, the driver leant sideways and went: "You ain't seen me, right." Which I thought was majestic timing and I'd like to congratulate him."

Mark Williams: "You ain't seen me, right?"

Actually I don't find it funny at all. We've wasted $72 billion, seriously made life harder and more expensive for those in our country that can least afford it. It's a debacle that infuriates me.

The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran. It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

The image from Courier Newsroom headline reads: “Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is now the longest Rep-elect in history to not be sworn in. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva over fear of releasing the Epstein files.”
The picture shows Grijalva in a red jacket beside Speaker Mike Johnson.
