I have lost count of how many times I’ve seen this photo and the ‘amazing story’ attached to it on social media in the last two weeks.
If anyone here is from Norfolk and North Suffolk, breakfast radio legend Rob Chandler has been replaced by a new duo this morning, having made no mention of him leaving last week. He’s also been removed from Broadland Radio’s website.
Any ideas what’s happened?
72 off 484 balls, it’s like Chris Tavare is out there!
Are the fans the director cuts to in the crowds at World Cup games told to ‘play up’ to the cameras? Their actions seem so exaggerated that it doesn’t look right to me.
For those who haven’t seen it, if you go to the FIFA World Cup tab on BBC iPlayer there is a channel showing a continuous stream of classic World Cup matches.
It’s currently showing Italy v Republic of Ireland from 1994.
Excellent to have on in the background to distract from bloody work.
Bruno Fernandes on his socials after his record equalling 20th assist of the season today.
Does this work in any way?

Paul McCartney had ‘Yesterday’ come to him in his sleep - I’ve just had an idea for a GTA Online update come to me in mine.
It would be called the Fakes & Fortunes update. Players would need to prepare for and carry out heists with the aim of stealing valuable paintings, sculptures or museum artefacts which would then be sold for a lot of money.
As well as this, though, the player would operate a business creating fake versions of valuable items and selling them. Missions related to this could involve stealing materials, extorting an expert forger or delivering the items. The player would only be able to create a certain number of fakes before suspicions would grow and the ‘heat’ would get too much. At this point, they would have to carry out another heist for a real valuable item before they could go back to the fakes.
What do people think of this? Please try to be gentle on me, I have just woken up.
I used to get the Beano every week when I was a kid and still have them in a box under my bed. I was going through them recently and found this issue from 19th January 2002.
It came with a free pack of Merlin football stickers. I was never really a sticker kid and the pack is still attached to the front of the comic 24 years later.
On the back it proudly states that every sticker now has the player’s signature printed on it, allowing me to fulfil my dreams of owning an autograph from Matt Jansen and Per Frandsen.
This has of course been the first season of the new TV deal, with Sky having a lot more live Premier League matches, including every Sunday 2pm kick off.
They have often been left with more matches than channels to show them on - as we speak, Crystal Palace v Everton is on the F1 channel, and in recent months they’ve had to put Premier League football on the cricket and golf channels as well.
This seems a little bit silly, really, and probably annoys people who aren’t interested in top flight football. So what will Sky do next season?
Carry on as they are? Or will we maybe see new channels launched, like Sky Sports Premier League 1, 2, 3 etc.?
