Don't know if this is common knowledge, but the BBC has produced a spoiler-free link to watch World Cup match highlights without knowing the score.

High risk, high reward approach again. The football at the back end of last season, one game apart, was much closer to where #htafc need to be. Intrigued to see how we set up for next season.

Huddersfield are set to confirm Martin Drury as permanent manager with Jon Stead as his assistant after impressing in interim charge at the back end of last season. #htafc

The most frustrating #htafc season I’ve watched in a while. There is not one good side in this league.

I mean…wow. £1.3m a week on players in League 1 is big

Birmingham City's wage bill in League One last season was £38.9m. The highest third tier wage bill in history, by a country mile. Next highest: Sunderland's £26.7m (46% lower) in 2018-19
#BCFC 2024-25 wage bill was higher than two-thirds of clubs in the division above them

This is what the #htafc hierarchy need to realise. Forget your tactics and flair in this league, everyone is terrible. It’s all about how much you want it, every single game.

You can get angry. Or you can realise we’ve left £4.75m worth of strikers out of the squad today and just laugh at the ineptitude #htafc

The Tories turning up like arsonists to a fire here. “Who did this?”

Student loan repayments have become a scam.
You work hard but you get "rewarded" with high interest rates.
How is that fair?
@Conservatives will reduce interest rates for hundreds of thousands of graduates.
That's just Step 1 in our New Deal for Young people.

This presser is a proper pallet cleanser after watching Trump tossing out narcissistic world salad for the last couple of years and Starmer demonstrating the charisma of a doorstop.
Mamdani: We will also work to welcome more family- and home-based childcare providers into our programs.
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Finally 👏
A politician who seems to understand you can’t keep killing the ambition of graduates, and working people generally, in this country

Some graduates on so-called 'Plan 2' student loans are forecast to pay back more than they borrowed.
Graduate George told us he doesn't want a work promotion due to the higher interest it will incur on his loan.
Labour MP Chris Curtis also has a Plan 2 loan & speaks to #R4Today

Staggering it has taken so long. Just miles out of his depth unfortunately and has completely wasted his resources.

A load of players with hundreds of Championship games on big dough. It shouldn’t take 10 defeats and falling 16 points off the pace for you to finally feel ‘angry and hurt’ #htafc
