This is worth a watch as the presenters seem really out of their depth IMO.

Also found out today that one of the pre match and half time comperes at Spurs is a Gbeebies presenter, which is great. 

Between this and another prominent Spurs podcast having Nigel Farage pop on their show, it hasn't been the best 24 hours for the fan base 🙃

What strikes me about this 'conflict' is that there's news of another Israeli atrocity coming in almost by the hour. Maybe it's the immediacy of the internet to get news out there, but I don't even watch or read the news or spend much time on Twitter at all these days. But just checking my notifications in the morning, within the first five tweets there will be something like this. Somebody give a justification for bombing a specialised surgeries hospital.

I watched that video earlier thinking they were expecting the bridge to fall, which is why they were filming it. Somehow didn’t spot the massive boat in shot. But I’ve just seen a longer video where you can see the boat hitting it and it falling straight away. Absolutely terrifying!

Now this isn't me with a tin foil hat on, but I'm amazed that the whole bridge falls after one collision. 

"Well obviously Bacon it's a massive boat hitting a bridge!!!" Sure, but I would've thought boats hitting bridges is actually more common than you think, and they were structurally more sound than that.

SuperLeTissier more like.

Edit: ok I've reconsidered. That'll do it.

The bridge is over the bridge is over budda bye bye

When the structural engineers on the scene use the word "Flimsy" to describe the construction of the bridge it can't come as a surprise that it fell down like that, and I don't know about you lot but when I cross a bridge I like to hear words like "Robust" or "Sturdy" not "Flimsy" regarding its construction.

I know this really isn't the time but is that the bridge that the Greeks killed Frank Sobotka under in The Wire?

It's the internet, it's always the time for some sort of pop culture reference/secret handshake
