"Being a diehard fan can be a compromising position in so many ways, frequently leading to defending the indefensible, from unethical petro-state sportwashing and financial doping to obvious on-field foul play and even spying." #mcfc

Kane dived before the contact, giving the ref the option not to give it. Good refereeing for me. He's been getting away with it for years and good to see a ref that's doesn't fall for it

A mistake to assume Mark Allen will be haunted by last night. Pro sportspeople tend to be good at moving on, they have to be to make the top. In his amazingly magnanimous post-match interview, it seemed he had partly accepted it + begun to move on. #BBCSnooker #WorldChampionship
Why does Tommy Fleetwood look like he's borrowed his dad's clothes? #themasters
Taking over at Spurs on 30 March with the team in 17th place, on 30 points? With my reputation?
