Some of the stuff that Bellingham can do at this age is unbelievable - so mature for a midfielder who turned 18 this year. Really enjoyable watching him that half and another ridiculous talent that England have at their disposal.

This summer, Southampton signed a 32-year-old free agent in Olly Lancashire. He will be an automatic starter, but never for the first team and yet has a vital role in the club’s future. Welcome to the world of the ‘support player’. inews.co.uk/sport/football…

Good news. Quite apart from the debate about atmosphere, there's so much persistent standing at most grounds. (Much more than when seating was first introduced, I'd say.) MUCH safer to stand in safe-standing conditions than in regular seating

Iñaki Williams has played every league game for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS, a record. It's been some journey, one that started even before he was born, crossing the Sahara. Here, he tells the story his mum told him. Eventually. theguardian.com/football/2021/…

Excellent piece by Michael Cox on Manchester United. Solskjaer looks "compelled to start certain players because of their reputation, and largely in a job because he’s happy to placate them rather than make tough tactical decisions". theathletic.com/2895026/2021/1…

Bayern fans put him a banner calling for Glazers, Mansour and autocrats to get out of the game, "Football belongs to the people". The stadium responds by singing Mansour's name

Every time Man City play a match, in any competition, anyone reporting on them should remember Uefa have already fined them 30m euros, un-appealed, for cheating, for 2014 and 2020 breaches. And they face 115 charges of PL rule breaches, ongoing.

Even leaving aside the 115 pending Premier League charges against Man City, everything they've achieved since 2008 should be asterisked by the Uefa then CAS procedures in 2014 and 2020, and that's ignoring Spiegel.

Maybe we should all cut Frank some slack? 🤷‍♂️ secondcaptains.com/2023/05/03/epi…

This whole debacle has been a constant lurch from one embarrassment and PR disaster to the next. How do they manage to make themselves look more and more incompetent by the day? The ESL debacle finally did for Woodward, the shambolic Greenwood debacle should be Arnold's swansong.
