Saw a great tweet earlier. Give every final to Germany until other countries prove they have the infrastructure and policing of the right quality to host events like this

It’s almost half four in the morning. It’s been some 24 hours . A day I thought would never happen 🌑

Pep must be out looking for Grealish and Stones

If Uefa can charge £600 for a ticket, why can’t they give out free water to fans? This - all of it. With your 80 Yr old Dad. My watch said id walked 9.8miles on Saturday, at least two thirds of that wasn’t our choice. theguardian.com/football/blog/…

Painful, empty memories. Meant nothing to any of us

Dubrovnik was a spectacular location for an amazing i4 conference. Nice to come home and see the skies (if not the overall view) competing

After 10pm and I’m still 20 back in the queue to refill water. Way to go Wembley Stadium for completely failing to meet demand. Queue for buying £9 can of warm bud - zero.

Loving blur - but after so many trips didn’t think I could find more ways for Wembley to disappoint but they nailed it. No WiFi , officious stewarding , insufficient water, plastic jungle and ESG horror show

Day 6, no bag, hours on phones queuing to speak to someone, logged on to the - United Airlines portal more times than care to remember in last few days - no update on where it is since an attempted delivery yesterday at a hotel we’d already left, and said we were leaving days before

⁦⁦United Airlines⁩ this hasn’t happened 5 days in a row. Emails received haven’t been answered. Not once.

Go to ground and you get a free kick. Stay on your feet and you don’t. It’s no wonder players dive. You can’t blame them.

Was there, wasn't good. Bumped in to Malcom Allison back at York station post match - up there with the best season ever though. Manchester City’s 25-year journey from York to the Club World Cup theguardian.com/football/2023/…

Refunds on delayed West Coast trains increasingly looking like a 2nd income in my account. Reason roulette today "points failure"

Yay - diverted to Stafford on the way home "points failure" wins again on the west coast fun line 'reason roulette'

Rumours that there are some train signals working ok appear to be incorrect. "Signal failure" gets a hat-trick of reasons for West Coast train delays. 3/1 this will be finished before I get to London

We know why but it’s the right question. The vast majority living in the South East would be blown away by how bad the infrastructure is in the rest of the country.

Stood at countries least popular airport terminal multiple years running. Just takes two flights to land at same time and 50 minutes at passport control. If you know you know

How boring it would be to have sunshine every day of the year. Last night the rain was bouncing off the pitches in Carrington. This mornings train to London with low mist somewhere in the Midlands. Every chance I’ll have sunburnt ears and a cough from the damp by tomorrow

Guardiola calls on FA to hold Cup semi-finals in north. I wish - my annual whinge, £220 for two tickets - over 9 hours of travelling. My 9 year old would have had an equally amazing day at Villa Park and would be home and fast asleep by now. theguardian.com/football/2025/…

It's always a surprise and disappointing when rugby players fake injury - Damian Penaud - stop mimicking footballers and play the game.
