In these dull days, these times of strife, when the line between sleep and workwear has blurred to nothing as hours become weeks and weeks become months, we cling to moments of joy: a particularly well-brewed cup of tea; a break in the clouds at walk o’clock; Taskmaster on a Thursday; your dog doing something daft; […]

England have an unbelievable crop of young talent. Some players are good enough to conquer any obstacles but they all deserve better coaching. With plenty of talent, a wealth of top-flight experience and world-class coaching at club level, surely the FA can find a more inspiring figurehead of youth than Aidy Boothroyd? England have […]

The international break tends to be accompanied by another random transfer rumour of Luis Suarez or Philippe Coutinho returning to Liverpool. Don’t do it. Jamie Carragher described it as a “rare error” from Jurgen Klopp, the German having reacted to the 2019 Champions League semi-final draw that pitted Liverpool against Barcelona by describing Luis […]

Newcastle fans have no right to criticise Mike Ashley unless they themselves buy the club off him. Rio Ferdinand knows that’s a load of balls and that really does matter. “It’s his club.” Rio Ferdinand’s preposterous attack on Newcastle fans in his latest YouTube show has a lot of problems, and we’ll get to […]

A big performance from Leicester’s talismanic striker leading the way in a hugely significant win over one of the traditional elite. It all feels very 2016.

This has been, at times, a truly exhausting season of football. It’s been the shortest yet longest season imaginable, the games crammed in to a shortened calendar but taking place across wildly extended weekends with the 3pm Saturday kick-off never more endangered and whole new kick-off times constructed. The overall quality has very often been […]

Sheffield United displayed familiar steel at Chelsea. If Chris Wilder’s permanent successor can instil a finishing touch they will be fine. “If you were to pick a starting eleven from the players on both teams, I’m not sure if any Sheffield United players get in.
