'Shoddy' Man Utd draw again after a (for me, Clive) farcical handball penalty decision at Bournemouth

3⃣ unwanted records surely await - as should the sack for Erik ten Hag

It's just... so woeful to watch (for #MUFC fans, anyway)

For Birmingham Dispatch I had the privilege of interviewing UB40 at Birmingham City FC: we talked about the city's musical identity, hope in the face of cuts, and, of course, football.

'Even though we’re the second city, we’re also overlooked.'

Weird night for Aston Villa

😐 A win that felt like a draw
🫤 No favours from West Ham or Liverpool

Now that fifth Champions League spot is looking iffy, the top-four fight with Spurs is a proper fight - one they're currently losing

What next for Everton and Nottingham Forest?

Appeals over points deductions, for one

#EFC would be right to ask how #NFFC breaching their £61m threshold by £34.5m = four points deducted

Messy, and it may remain messy beyond 19 May

BREAKING 🚨 Everton have been deducted another two points following a second breach of the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules

Opinion | Sven-Goran Eriksson’s Liverpool ovation at Anfield restored my faith in football

🖋️ Michael Hincks trib.al/Zi8nMkN

Sven-Goran Eriksson fulfilling a dream at Anfield and tearing up at YNWA ❤️

Oh, and that smile: one that defies the reality of his illness but typifies the power of every cancer sufferer who can find joy in their darkest of hours

🏟 One of the steepest terraces in England
💺 A £50,000 seat with its own cup holder
🗣 Built to be a bearpit
👃It's own scent

I took a tour of Everton's new stadium on Monday - and was blown away. Its going to be world class #efc inews.co.uk/sport/football…

Tragedy chanting seems to be getting worse despite becoming illegal. It is the perfect embodiment of post-decency, pathetic little England.

It was merely the sideshow but Villa Park was a microcosm of the general mood towards Jordan Henderson among England fans

On the chants, the boos, and why Southgate expressing surprise again would be a bad move 👇

The hero then the hobbler

Ollie Watkins' injury does not sour Aston Villa's night overall - but it does add jeopardy to their final straight

#AVFC fans (and Gareth Southgate) will keenly await updates

Safe to say the majority here don't care for this Coldplay gig before KO

They know this match really doesn't need a lights show. Aston Villa are chasing a first European quarter-final since 1998

Ajax stand in their way #AVLAJA

Jordan Henderson was evens for the England Euros squad when I wrote this

Now 1-3

And I think there's every chance he starts 👇

Some love for this one in the replies 🥲

A piece where I talk about Villa's remarkable bouncebackability, but yknow, shakes fist, the headline

The reality about Jordan Henderson and England is staring right at us

Went to Amsterdam. Watched Ajax-Villa. Zeroed in on Henderson. He was fine. That'll do for Gareth Southgate, I imagine

The head rules the heart - but it could be close going by the fixtures

I'll change my mind if Arsenal beat Man City

On everyone's favourite player, Emi Martinez 🧤

Big save last night. A constant calming presence. Top tier wind-up.

Would argue he's also Aston Villa's only world-class player, which means #AVFC may just need Champions League to keep him
