Izquierdo doubtful for tonight's Champions League game against PSG (knee)

As I understand it, the Premier League decreed that no players should travel to red list countries. Spurs and Villa thought better of that. Brazil no doubt miffed their English based players couldn't travel - found a reason to ban those from Argentina. It's a total mess - with FIFA also...

The political fall out from ths will be enormous - and some of the sh...t will fall outside Tottenham's door

Connolly and Duffy both starting for Ireland in Portugal tonight.

Appreciate the detailed reply - thanks.

Does Locadia still turn up to training ? Or is he consigned to the Under 23s to "help their development" ? Seems very odd to have a floater just picking up his money every week.

Swansea in the League Cup - don't want anyone to get hurt trying to win something - saving them all for the predictable (often goalless) relegation battle.

Sad team selection - another cup opportunity tossed away

Couldn't agree more - probably the one competition we could actually win, but top level football these days dictates that you shouldn't have such ambitions. I think it is a (sporting) tragedy that so few clubs take any pride in entering this competition. Let's have a go - and qualify for Europe.

Even in corrupt and unlikeable Russia, Subbotnik day is a thing where people take pride in cleaning up their own community.

I'm following the fortunes of MOUSEHOLE FC this season. Made their FA Cup debut two weeks ago beating Helston Athletic - now home to Plymouth Parkway on Saturday. Many of us will have visited that cutesy little fishing village outside Penzance - no idea they now have an ambitious football...

Had a nice trip to Burnley with no aggravation at all. And the real feeling Burnley were happy to have us buying tickets from them. This week although we're at home, it's live on Sky, the faff to get organised to go, the parking problems, all the checks and double checks, and the feeling that...

A funny thing happened to me on the way to the Singing Ringing Tree Popped in to the ticket office at Turf Moor In 5 minutes bought two tickets for the game No fuss, no hassle No booking fees No memberships No covid testing No ID checks No vaccination checks No obstacles at all - just welcome to...

I got the "action required" e-mail too. I tried to follow what it asked me to do - but it doesn't make sense. So I gave up.

With the greatest respect to clubs like Brighton.......

To be fair there is quite a good "Premier League 25 goals-a-season" striker shop in Crowborough High Street, apparently with a bit of a sale on right now. They also do amazing central defenders (who don't turn up still pissed to training on a regular basis) and a small but quality line of...

Can I bring a flask ?

Yes indeed Kenya got a couple of long distance athletics medals yesterday, Morocco won gold too. The biggest teams with nothing yet are currently - Chile(57 competitors), Algeria (44) and Lithuania (41). We take Olympic success for granted nowadays, although this wasn't always the case. Only...

It is quite hard to imagine how their childhoods have been if they are Olympic medalists together at such a young age. But yes I am a bit...... 3D printers and robots came into my mind...... And I couldn't have done a comprehensible live global TV interview at 16 either

Must shamefully admit to being a follower of the medals table they don't show you. The biggest countries and the biggest teams with nothing at all. Currently the leader board of no success in Tokyo (with a week to go) reads: Kenya (85 athletes) Chile (57 athletes) Nigeria (52...
