Finished Revolution and The Pursuit of History by @hobbes_ff . Not a Rangers fan but would thoroughly recommend to anyone who remembers that period of Scottish football and how transformational it was. Both books were fantastic.

From tiki-taka to total turmoil – how it’s all gone wrong for Barcelona

None of the club’s recent expensive signings, including Ferran Torres, Jules Koundé, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, have excelled

Como periodista residente en España cubriendo el fútbol español para el extranjero creo que estoy bastante bien posicionado para explicaros que el daño a la imagen de España y al fútbol Español que está haciendo Rubiales es GIGANTESCO. ESTO ES NOTICIA EN TODO EL MUNDO.

Mary Earps yelled 'f*** off' and women's football does the same to toxic men

This is what football is like when a certain sort of male is removed. There's joy and there's passion and it's now slap bang in the mainstream.

Finished When Football Came Home by @mikewgibbons last night. Thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting to revisit the tournament and cool Britannia. A superb read.

Globalization, commercialization, and competition killed the romance of soccer—creating the best competition in the world in the process.

Are we being gaslighted by the Premier League? football365.com/news/premier…
Premier League still faking it; Manchester City v Liverpool not that popular

Premier League still faking it; Manchester City v Liverpool not that popular

Was everyone watching Manchester City v Liverpool? On the contrary...almost nobody watched it because the audience for live football is tiny.

Giles, Silverwood and now Thorpe. Only Mr bonus himself, Tom Harrison, and the feeble and clueless captain to be removed now.
Who will be got rid of first? Johnson or Root. Both refusing to take any accountability for their failures and both blaming everyone but themselves.

England have a formidable pace attack for the Ashes in Australia, but Joe Root doesn't quite have the leadership skills to match, writes Ian Chappell 👀

England were docked 8 points for a slow over-rate and gained 4 for clinging on at the SCG - so would be better-placed in the World Test Championship if they'd forfeited all five Tests and stayed home

Just got a message from @FreeTestCricket. A new campaign to get Test cricket back on terrestrial TV (by restoring it to the precious 'Crown Jewels' list). They also have a petition. You can sign it here. Please RT if you agree. petition.parliament.uk/petit… @GeorgeDobell1 @DavidKHopps
Petition: Add Test matches in England to the 'Crown Jewels' that must be free to air

Petition: Add Test matches in England to the 'Crown Jewels' that must be free to air

This petition requests that Cricket Test matches played in England are transferred back to the Category A ('Crown Jewel') events list, meaning that they must be offered for broadcast on free-to-air...

Quite amazed at the state of the cricket journalism in England at the moment. The fact they think they're all doing brilliant jobs and all the players aren't to blame is really quite something. The desperation to be mates with them over doing their jobs is stunning.

And all very reminiscent of the political coverage here too.
