She's using her public profile to draw attention to some of this government's more egregious acts of cronyism and corruption and it's winding up EXACTLY the right people. Good on her I say. While this is happening, she's facing an unpleasant onslaught of sexist and personal abuse that men of...

Never understood this need to be perceived as a "big club". It's an impossible thing to quantify. Big in ground size? Average attendance? Global fanbase? Trophies won? Wage bill? Years in top flight? Number of replica shirts sold? TV viewing figures? Star names on the books? Ultimately, if it...

Haven’t heard Warren’s assessment but I would agree that both players looked a bit off the pace of the game. Wouldn’t single them out for criticism as it was about the time that Spurs were getting their act together.

Yes, very odd. Almost like he hadn’t warmed up.

Great equaliser

Hatred of Palace has faded a lot in recent seasons. Rivalry is enjoyable but not as visceral at it once felt. But I wish nothing but misery on Chelsea.

My wife reckons he had an off-game last night. I think she's coming down with something.

Yes, I remember that. It was my daughter's first game. She was quite taken by the Wrexham noise. Then she turned to me and asked, "when is it our turn to sing, daddy?" She was 24 years old.

Spoke to someone today who stayed right until the Marseille fans were let out and he reckons one of them squared up to a mounted police officer. Or more precisely, the horse. Horse kicked out and the Marseille fan went to kick back. Copper sprayed him (and his mates) with gas. Also told me...

Same for me. Was definitely aware that they were singing but home fans drowned them out 90% of the time. Good effort from the North and other stands did their bit too.

I'd be tempted to give it a year-long break at the end of the season. In that time, have a rethink about why we need it and how we deploy it. At the moment it feels like nobody is happy with it. Too much inconsistency, too much disruption, and the sense that it takes away more than it...

It was another game where, despite the result being sub-optimal, the players seemed to care as much as the fans. Not everything goes to the script these days but I don't remember coming home from any games thinking the players hadn't given it everything.

Not the first time I've seen a well-meaning overseas contributor being shot down on NSC. Rather unpleasant responses that don't show NSC in its best light.

Here's a piece he wrote for the Guardian this time last year about his new year's resolution for 2023. It's about veganism, on the face of it, but it gives you a real sense of the guy's all-round humanity...

That's very sad. A man who used his short time on the planet in a very positive way.

Good, bad, and middling pundits can be found right across the broadcasting spectrum. I find it rarely has much to do with their gender, or playing career. Though I did notice on Amazon this week (Luton-Aresenal game I think) all three studio guests were bald men. That just seems crazy.

I hope so too. Genuinely don't get this weird convention about ex-players not celebrating goals. They play for a different team now, and they want that team to beat us. That requires scoring goals against us. I know it might be a bit different if it's a player who was a genuine legend at the...

Impressive stadium. Will be even better when it's finished.

I was convinced that we'd hear old-school homophobic nonsense from the Luton fans. Last time they played at this level it was probably de rigeur. It's a fairly meaningless fine in financial terms but if it persuades the club to educate some of their supporters about the way most of us prefer to...

It's a brilliant quote and worth a regular re-post. Was it something he wrote or something he said off the cuff? Impressive either way but I'd love to think he just came out with it.
