After arriving at the impressive Gare du Nord station in Paris, 🇫🇷, I found this impressive view of La Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre from a balcony at my hotel!

Excellent episode!

Well guest-hosted @FearnRussell. I also like @TrevGriff57’s sagacity and agree with him about the standing of the FA Cup, even though I’m quite a bit younger (sorry, Trev 😅).

#CreweAlex are now unbeaten in ten home games in four competitions this season!
🚨New Pod🚨

@FearnRussell is in the hot seat this week, and is joined by @OfficialTait
@tcmayell & @TrevGriff57 as they go through the win over Wimbledon.

@CreweAlexWomen were in action in Bury.

I’m baffled as to why @reformparty_uk and people such as @Ben_Bradley_32 have had such a lot to say about the methodology behind this in 2026, yet I cannot find a similar level of interest in said methodology only one year ago.

Perplexing!

“Here is Tomorrow’s Front Page”.

Incredible scenes at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard last night as St-Étienne play Laval.

The ground was partially closed as a sanction for a previous flare & pyrotechnic display. The response - have one at the other end!

I’m in Toulouse ahead of the @Ligue1 clash with Strasbourg.

I took a TER regional train from Monaco to Nice (video arriving in Monaco). Then a TGV Inoui to Marseille (pictured at Nice) & then a bus to Toulouse.

A picture of the beautiful Toulouse Matabiau station from my hotel.
