Chelsea: a morally bankrupt club, a manager out of his depth and a poorly-recruited group of scandalously self regarding players. Perfect storm of incompetence.

Hang it in the Louvre 😊

Incredible game, full of attacking intent and technical quality. But ultimately decided by human fallibility. The semi between PSG and Bayern is effectively the final…

Now 3-2 on the night for Real. Mbappe’s 40th of the season…

A second classic Champions League QF unfolding in Munich, following last night’s worldie between Atletico and Barca. Kane restores Bayern’s aggregate lead with their second equaliser against Real. This could be any score…

Recording the audiobook of 1966, my social and sporting history of the year England won the World Cup. It’s out in late May : more details to follow in the coming weeks.

Human error is part and parcel of life, Chris. Why should football be any different?

Gary Woodland. Endured PTSD following brain surgery in 2023. He’s just won the Texas Open. Best sports story of the the year. If you’ve seen it, defy you not to have cried. Humanity in excelsis.

Paul proves that great writing is resistant to cultural vandalism and insubstantial froth. The medium might change but the message remains cogent and compelling.

Just going to leave this here

Ah, Anthropic, the company that pirated four of my books and which should have been sued into bankruptcy.

Positively the last piece of showing off : confirmation that Miracle has entered the Sunday Times bestseller chart today, at number three. Thanks to everyone who made it possible .
