When the live performance makes you forget how good the original already was. 🔥🌹💫

5'6 balding Phil Collins strolling around in an office shirt singing and drumming one of the greatest songs ever is the definition of AURA.

🚨Jamie Carragher on Fabian Hürzeler’s incredible start to the season with Brighton: 🗣️ Jamie Carragher: “I think we need to start talking about Fabian Hürzeler because what he’s doing with Brighton is becoming ridiculous. You look at their team before a game and you’re not sitting there thinking, ‘Wow, look at all these superstars.’ There’s no £100 million player, no collection of massive names. Then the whistle goes and suddenly Brighton look like the best team on the pitch. They beat Coventry 5-0. They go to Old Trafford, go 2-0 down and come back to win. Now they’re putting Arsenal under serious pressure and scoring goals for fun. And what impresses me is that it isn’t one player carrying them. It’s the whole team. They press together, they run together, they attack together. If one player loses the ball, another is already sprinting to win it back. That doesn’t happen by accident. Hürzeler has created an identity where the players clearly understand what he wants from them. And Arsenal came into this game with one Premier League goal conceded all season. One. Brighton looked at that and basically said, ‘So what?’ That tells you everything about the mentality Hürzeler has created. He hasn’t built Brighton by collecting superstars. He’s built a team that makes ordinary players look dangerous and makes good players look even better. That’s what great coaching can do. At this rate, Brighton aren’t just having a good start. They’re becoming a serious problem for everyone.”

Happy 125th birthday to us… 🥰

THE FUNK SOUL BROTHER

Gotta speak about Brighton yeah, every year they sell some of their best players and they just continue being elite, whoever runs that club is a beast

Excellent news. Hold them to it: cut off all public services to the village, deny them free access to the NHS, set up complicated import/export rules for them, take their passports, and suspend their use of the Pound. Then let's see how important "small boats" are to them, hey?

📺DEBUT: 'Inspector Gadget' premiered nationwide 43 years ago, September 12, 1983

Lewis Dunk 🤯

On Sept 12, 2001 -- 24hrs after 9/11 -- Queen Elizabeth ordered the U.S. national anthem be played at the Changing of the Guard outside Buckingham Palace. Nothing like that had occurred in 600 years. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump claims that he was lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they lifted me up, and they started running with me." (Never happened)

How could two people who had just met on stage, with only a few hurried minutes of rehearsal, sing as if they had shared the same heartbreak for years? In June 1986, at the Prince’s Trust Rock Gala, Paul Young had already sung “Every Time You Go Away” once that night. The song was his biggest hit, a smooth, aching ballad that had topped charts the year before. Then George Michael appeared. He had not been fully expected. The two men had only a few hurried minutes to run through the lyrics backstage. What followed should have felt awkward. Instead it became one of those rare live moments that still feels alive decades later. Watching the clip now, what strikes you first is how little either of them seems to be performing for the cameras. Young sings with the steady warmth that made the original recording so persuasive. Michael enters with a different kind of intensity—slightly more urgent, more exposed. They do not blend into one smooth sound. They take turns, listen, push each other a little higher on the chorus, then pull back. There is no visible competition, only a quiet agreement to stay inside the song together. The circumstances make it more interesting. Michael had scheduling conflicts that evening. He arrived late and chose this particular track because it was the one he already knew. Young, who had just finished performing it, simply stepped back onstage and began again. Behind them sat an absurdly stacked band—Elton John on piano, Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler on guitars, Phil Collins on drums—yet the focus never drifts from the two voices at the front. The stars in the background only underline how little the moment needed decoration. What gives the performance its lasting charge is the absence of polish. Most high-profile duets are rehearsed until the edges disappear. This one still has edges. You can hear the slight uncertainty of an unrehearsed entrance, the way one voice adjusts to the other in real time, the shared decision to treat the song as something fragile rather than a showcase. “Every time you go away / You take a piece of me with you” lands differently when sung by two men who had no time to protect their images. The lyric stops sounding like a radio-friendly heartbreak and starts sounding like a simple admission. There is something quietly generous about the exchange. Young could have guarded the song as his own. Michael could have used the stage to remind everyone of his own rising stardom. Neither does. They make space. In an industry that often rewards self-display, the restraint feels almost radical. The result is not a perfect performance. It is a human one. That is probably why the clip continues to circulate. It captures a night when two skilled singers decided, on very short notice, to trust each other with a song about loss. They did not turn it into a spectacle. They simply sang it, and in doing so left behind something more durable than most carefully planned collaborations. Sometimes the most memorable moments are the ones that almost did not happen.

I DIDN’T MEAN TIM CURRY WHAT THE FUCK

Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.

The compassion shown by the consultant & his team in ICU on tonight's #emergency247 was totally humbling 🙏 I'm not prone to flights of fancy, but sometimes it seems as if angels do walk among us 😇
