Football, politics, history, sunsets, shit jokes, Estela, stuff. On the pages of the Guardian, the screens of ESPN and in your ears at TSFP. Usually at a game.

Madrid, Barcelona, Oviedo.
Given Lance Armstrong is trending, it’s probably worth reminding people of this splendid bit of Australian humour.

FUN FACT: We are paying more money for worse versions of ALMOST everything because private equity firms buy up beloved brands, cut product quality to the bone, hike prices to squeeze out margins, and leave a trail of debt-ridden husks behind.

If you look up the definition of "brass neck" in the dictionary you'll now see this post:

¿Kylian Mbappé? ¿Erling Haaland? ¿Harry Kane? Bueno, pues Mikel Oyarzabal registra ¡¡18 GOLES Y 7 ASISTENCIAS!! en sus últimos 20 partidos disputados con la Selección de España. Y ya es campeón de Europa y campeón del mundo siendo brutalmente decisivo. Merece mucho más reconocimiento. Merece mucho más respeto. ETERNO INFRAVALORADO.

Thanks everyone. Interesting. Pretty much as expected, then. (Although with slightly fewer flashes of fun than I expected…early maybe? Still time to be an infuriating but exciting cult hero)

💬 For us, the Derbí Asturiano between @RealSporting and @RealOviedo is the second biggest Derbí in Spanish football. It's only rival would be El Gran Derbí in Sevilla. Even El Clásico doesn't have the same level of intensity as the game between the two powerhouses of Asturias. There is a proper rivalry between these two sides and whenever they clash, we know there will be fireworks. We're getting it back today as they both meet in @LaLiga2. What International Break eh @sidlowe?

2 - Lamine Yamal has scored the third quickest goal England have ever conceded at Wembley Stadium, behind only first minute goals for Scotland in 1957 and Hungary in 1953. Punch.
