"It's simple, it's eloquent" says an Apprentice contestant, describing an Easter egg. Just leaving that there. #TheApprentice


One of you is leaving the competition... #GreggWallace #MasterChef


#BOUARS Who made that red card decision? Howard Webb clearly talking to VAR before the review. Is that legal?


"What do you think they were talking about on the touchline Lee?" "No idea." Lee Dixons's transformation into late-period Lawrenson is now complete. #ITVFootball #FINENG #NationsLeague

Francis Ford Coppola, now 85, spent 40 years on his muddled and misguided passion project. Watching it seems almost as long. My review @louderthanwar louderthanwar.com/megalopolis-20…


It's bad enough when Gregg calls a rösti a "roshti" on #CelebrityMasterChef but the bald make-up guy with the comedy moustache has inexplicably gone for "Rushdie." If only he'd served it with salmon.


Dublin's finest export since Guinness evolve farther from their post-punk roots with an exploration of human connection in our dark and divisive times. Review of the fourth #FontainesDC album @louderthanwar @johnrobb louderthanwar.com/fontaines-dc-r…


#englandvserbia Has Harry Kane touched the ball yet?


#ENGICE If only England had a Maddison or a Grealish they could call on to open up their opponents, eh


Family Band might sound like a folk group singing around a forest campfire but New Zealand's noise trio make enough of a full metal racket to make your ears bleed. Review @louderthanwar here: louderthanwar.com/family-band-th…


#Top10AlbumOneTrackOne 10. My Little Red Book - Love Love's eponymous debut must have been a real head turner (ear-turner?) way back in 1966. And unfairly overlooked in comparison to Da Capo and Forever Changes.


#Top10AlbumOneTrackOne 9. I Will Follow - U2 The guitar, the chimes, the drums... THE DRUMS... the epic build-up of the first track on Boy literally and metaphorically foretells the meteoric ascent of U2's subsequent career.


#Top10AlbumOneTrackOne 8. (I'm) Stranded - The Saints The perfect punk single kicked off a perfect punk album from Australia in February '77 - before any UK bands had put out an album.


#Top10AlbumOneTrackOne 7. Holidays In The Sun - Sex Pistols Lesson 1 in the Class of '77. The clang of Steve's guitar. The sound of jackboots. Paul's machine-gun tattoo... Perfect.


#Top10AlbumOneTrackOne 6. Blitzkrieg Bop - Ramones The visceral thrill of dropping the needle on the Ramones debut and hearing those buzzsaw guitars at what seemed like twice the volume of every other record you'd ever heard. And seeing them weeks later at the Roundhouse!


#Top10AlbumOneTrackOne 5. Neat Neat Neat - The Damned What an intro! First the bassline... then the explosion of guitars is like a jolt from defibrillator. Perfectly matched to the action in this scene from Baby Driver. youtu.be/OSfPnwl5YFw?si…

#Top10AlbumOneTrackOne 4. X Offender - Blondie Sexy, sensual, salacious and a little bit kinky, Debbie Harry laid her heart on the line in our unforgettable introduction to Blondie in 1976.
