Bought from my lovely local bookshop and just ahead of the 2025 Tour - scandalously the final one on ITV Cycling. Can’t wait to get stuck in, Ned Boulting 🏳️‍⚧️. And sending all best to the whole brilliant ITV team for a fantastic TdF.

In the wake of his outrage at the BBC and Glastonbury, it’s worth remembering that Rupert Lowe MP thinks inciting violence is absolutely fine as long as you’re white.

I'm the least swear sensitive person in the world. Yet up until at least 1990 I never heard any band swear from the stage. Now everyone does and the audience whoop like there's been some invisible wall broken down. It all seems a bit lame & middle class. Take that mummy & daddy!

One of the joys of going to Wimbledon is that you can watch tennis all day, knowing everything that's going on and feeling all the emotion/tension, without listening to 3 TV commentators talking to each other all the way through. #Wimbledon2025

All the racists in the replies need to stand by the barriers at London Bridge on a Saturday and watch literally hundreds of white laddish football fans barge through without paying, not giving a toss.

Pathetic, nasty, embarrassing comment from a hack who has contributed nothing to society. If you want to make things better, step up. Do something that counts.

Thank you BBC Sport at #Wimbledon2025 for returning to the 2-person format of commentator and summariser. MUCH less banter - the curse of the 3-way commentary - is such a relief. Please don’t go back to 3 next week!

Enough with the relentless stats and data, BBC Sport Wimbledon commentators!! Every member of the crowd in Centre Court is gripped by the match and managing perfectly well without all those ridiculous statistics!! So can those of us watching at home do that too please?

I cannot thank BBC Sport enough for reverting to the 2-commentator format at Wimbledon - it has made ALL the difference to my enjoyment of the TV coverage. Please keep it this way for the rest of the tournament! #Wimbledon2025

Well that didn't last long. They have gone back to the 3-person commentary - constant chummy banter that delivers nothing for the audience and allows for no space to appreciate atmosphere. I'm utterly perplexed by why they do this. Wimbledon BBC Tennis #Wimbledon

What is the point of the now ubiquitous slapping of hands by doubles partners in tennis, even when they’ve lost a point? It doesn’t look like it has any function whatever - but they ALL do it! #Wimbledon
