@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer @BBCSounds One of the best footballers ever but an absolute clown of a manager. His work ethic and communication were ****. We lived it and wanted it to work, but he's just not management material, as per normal, it's everyone's fault but him.

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Two teenagers are supposed to be the owners of the minute mart and yet the whole summer holiday and neither have done a day's work there and Vinny is doing the hiring? Consistency in the writing

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders As for the Jack and Oscar situation - I wonder how Jack is going to react when not only he knows about Oscar attacking Patrick but also Howie Blackmailing him? Jack already knows about the fat Mike situation too and how much trouble Oscar is in already.

@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Could we have Championship/League 1 or 2 instead? Oh.. and maybe some more rugby to help out the regions...

@BBCiPlayer I have apps from every streaming platform. Why is it that when I watch on an S25 you are the only app that requires me to turn on orientation on Android? I pay more in compulsory licence fee than any other service. You deliver the worst tech.

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer This is going to be one of those storylines we look back on, like the bins not being emptied, that was just absolutely awful. I had a horrible feeling about Ben Wadey joining, please don’t kill this soap.

@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer @BBCSounds As a Birmingham City fan, I would say that it was not so much his work ethic, just that he is not a good manager. He did cost us relegation, though.

@theWishyman80 @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer The current premier League deal is 2.3 billion a year so about 800 grand a match . In what world could the BBC afford that. At least this is top league sport and will be off a good quality

@BBCScotland @bbcsportscot @BBCiPlayer I gave up watching your streaming of the Aberdeen v FCSB match after two mins. Picture is good but the commentary sound is awful. Are the commentators talking into their mics through their hands, in a room 1k miles away? Low, muffled sound.
