At times like this, I’d love to hear the scathing, excoriating comments from Chris Waddle…he’d have a field day… #ENGvDEN

As an occasional viewer of football, someone please explain the added value of summarisers like McCoist? How on earth did Barry Davies, John Motson, Brian Moore et al ever cope without them?! #CHEMUN

Amazing Grace in the 56th over for Grace and Barnaby, two cricket lovers lost way too soon in Nottingham this week ❤️
56 was Barnaby’s playing number and ‘Amazing Grace’ for Grace.
Our thoughts again with all involved including Ian Coates.

Watching McCartney at the BBC…fabulous programme but which absolute cretin wrote this utter garbage for the song “Another Day”: “mixing the macro with extraordinary aplomb”? Really..? 🤮

Well, @Mica_Millar you didn’t disappoint! As good live as you are in the studio, if not better in a packed venue. Cracking backing band and vocalists. The best end to a fabulous couple of days & only wish I could’ve stayed longer. Roll on next year…

I listened to #popmaster then switched back to @jazzfm as the @greatesthitsuk playlist is far too dull and predictable, plus I like to hear the occasional new track..

I will be presenting my last show on Radio 2 next Friday. I had intended fulfilling my contract until the end of March but the BBC has decided it wants me to leave earlier. Let’s enjoy the week ahead!

As true then as it is now. Brian Clough was ahead of his time and if only the so-called pundits would heed that advice these days... thanks for the memories Motty. Along with Barry Davies, the soundtrack of my life as a youngster #John Motson bbc.co.uk/sport/live/footbal…

Rest in peace, John Motson.
The legendary commentator, who had an illustrious 50-year career with the BBC, has died aged 77.

With Scott Mills and Zoe Ball slowly killing Radio 2, along with Ken Bruce leaving, as an over 50, I am now radio homeless.

I’ve had the most incredible day in Memphis. Being preached to this morning by Al Green himself - not sure I’ll ever get over that. Make sure you’re tuned in to @jazzfm for all the gossip tomorrow from 10 ✨

Judging by the quality of the acceptance speeches, how do most of these “talented artists” get dressed unaided…absolutely dreadful #Brits2023
