Lionel Messi is the greatest football player the sport has ever seen and if you don’t think that’s true your a wrongheaded buffoon.

- My son tells me 57000 other people have also died this morning. I like to imagine them all in a room whispering, "that's David Bowie".
- Hey. Young actors. You could do a fuck of a lot worse than watch the "Its a fox!" scene in Fleabag 2 Episode 3 about a hundred times. Seriously. Masterful, masterful, masterful, masterful acting.
- You absolute fucking pathetic piece of intellectually tiny, emotionally flatulent shit.I'm planning a 'Men's March' to protest at the creeping global emasculation of my gender by rabid feminists. Who's with me?
- The racist fuckheads who tweeted vile responses to Balotelli in no sense represent Man United. They do though shame the club. Fucking shits.
- Oh. My. Fucking. God. Follies! Follies! Follies! Follies! Follies! Oh shitting hell discovering Sondheim in my 40s is as much fun as getting into Bob Dylan or Class As.
- As #Emilia finished my daughter told me to shut up for a bit - there was something she wanted to write on her phone. A new screensaver.
- I have been blessed to work with brilliant actors for twenty years. I honestly know none better in the world than Andrew Scott. His performance leaves me unable to speak. Still tickets available.'He's in the way people move. He's in the light falling over a city at the start of an evening. He's in the space between two numbers.' #SeaWall goo.gl/B3a3tC
- If I was Kroos I'd be desperate to leave Bayern Munich and join a mid-table English team. Especially with Moyes in charge. Desperate.
- 50 years ago tomorrow the world changed forever. My wife, the love of my life, was born. Kind of named after the lunar mission. And kind of not. Best human I have met so far. And I have met some fucking great ones. She fucking hates Twitter. But still. Happy Birthday Polly.
- Is Jedinak's beard the best beard in the history of football?
- The run through of Sea Wall @oldvictheatre this morning was utterly shattering. Andrew is braver, more detailed, more imaginative than I've seen him. The play sings its heart out in that beautiful auditorium. First time Ive seen it since my father-in-law died. Devastating.
- Every single thing I have written has been in some way graced by her.A wee thought this morning for Sarah Kane who died #OTD 1999 ‘No one survives life..’ Crave - Sarah Kane
- Andrew Scott’s Garry Essendine in #PresentLaughter @oldvictheatre is, I think, the finest acting performance this decade. I know I am hopelessly biased but I honestly think he is our best stage actor.
