Happy 79th birthday to the legendary King Jammy. In a life full of musical highlights, Jammy mixed countless dubs at King Tubby's studio in the late 70s. Here's one of them, the 12" version of Ken Boothe's You're No Good... youtu.be/1QQmPW1QJw4?... #reggae #reggaesky #vinyl #music #musicsky

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Fallen giants Man Utd are a very ordinary team and no one is scared of them any more. Everyone expected Bournemouth to win today. The club is a cracked badge basket-case and has been for years. #mufc

More #WeekendSingles. These three records sounded so radical when they landed in 1978 - just as cataclysmic as the first Pistols, Clash & Ramones 45s. Very privileged to have seen Cabaret Voltaire on Thursday and looking forward to seeing Daniel Miller (aka The Normal) with Duet Emmo on Tuesday

FT: 5-1. Statement win: when #Boro get into gear they can play some blistering football. Sublime movement & passing, brilliant goals, zest, spirit, grit. What a team. Joyful. But for their keeper could have been a total filleting. Top of the league* #UTB

HT: It feels like it should be about 7-1. #Boro playing liquid football, sublime passing, inventive movement, neat touches... look two leagues higher. Then leak a sloppy goal. Textbook. Brilliant stuff. #UTB

Jesus wept. "Is she really going out with him?" BASHCRASHBANGBOOMBASH. Fifty years ago today the first UK punk record was released: #TheDamned New Rose. Fifty. I remember it like yesterday.

FT: 2-2. After a first half flop & being booed off at the break, spirited #Boro stormed back to salvage a point in a sizzling second half. A much better, coherent, mobile side with Lankshear leading the line. Could/should have won in the end. Steel. Character. Momentum. #UTB

Conway and Brittain excellent. Berhalter made a difference when he came on. It's all about Lankshear now. He's a machine. Shocking tackle that mind. Great to see the bench bounce up ready to duke it out. #UTB #Boro

That was outrageous. Lankshear scythed down with a medieval tackle out near the touchline. Came in with the subtlety of a hand-grenade. Osho shown red. #UTB #Boro

Brighter #Boro looking to defibrillate this game. Look sharper up front and getting it forward faster. Lankshear made a difference. He put a golden chance wide. Morris had a close range effort blocked. Still life in this. #UTB

HT: 0-2. After a bright start & flurry of chances #Boro spluttered, lost some spark & intensity & gave away a cheap goal. Clawed back with another flurry but then leaked out of the blue just before the break. Cardiff. Again. #UTB

100 years ago this weekend, goal machine George Camsell scored in a 4-3 defeat to Forest. It was the start of a staggering run of scoring in 12 consecutive games that yielded an amazing 30 goals. A record that has never and will never be beaten. #George

Lovely touch at the Riverside reception after Colin Galloway's funeral today. The service featured a poignant eulogy by his son Scott, a powerful testament to a really nice bloke, and top @Boro fan. He made a massive contribution across the Borosphere.

So many #Boro positives: resilience, two full-backs on the score-sheet, deadly goal-machine Lankshear strikes again, another top eight side dispatched, AC/DC a box of tricks, Borges buzzing, 2nd with 4pt gap behind. Excellent. #UTB

FT: 3-2. Dramatic late winner, three good goals away from home and momentum building - but we shouldn't have to claw that back so desperately, so often. If we can solve the jitters at the back, the sky's the limit. Great game again. The Entertainers. #UTB #Boro
