He came in when they were at rock bottom. He turned them around. He delivered an enormous victory. But they’ve grown tired of the boring playing style so they’re going to get rid of him. It doesn’t always work out for the best…

@SageCanaday @Scienceofsport Agreed. But speaking to the original point, multiple factors (temperature, shoes, wind, talent, high-carb gels) added up to something like a perfect day for a sub-2 attempt. Would be wonderful to know what the shoes are doing but it’s just one piece of a puzzle.

@Scienceofsport Worth considering, there was a rare tailwind at the London Marathon yesterday. Light wind blowing due east to west pushed runners down Embankment (when Sawe sped up). Wind usually blows west to east in London, so headwind turns to tailwind = helpful.

@NewsShopper It’s closed because the stadium floodlights might collapse. Brilliantly sums up the state of the nation, doesn’t it?

@pswhisky It's available on Whisky Exchange already, sans ballot. Not even the subject of a Slack-attack.

A stunning whisky from @SingletonWhisky, a bespoke menu by @HIDELONDON. This was Course of a Feast.

@liampower1 Thought I saw you on camera. Sky Sports clocked you celebrating after Pepe’s first goal. #backofthenet

Good piece shining a light on a subject close to my (broken) heart.

@JackPittBrooke Jose Mourinho's [insert club] downfall. Piece on how [insert chairman]'s dream appointment turned into a nightmare, as his methods upset the players, the fans and eventually the club.

@RorySmith @ben_rumsby And a fine for unassociated advertising.

Mel B, on the radio, just inadvertently revealed (exclusively) @glastonbury 2021 is cancelled. #accidentaljournalism.

Harry Maguire cost £80m

[Sam Coates Sky @SamCoatesSky]

2/

Greater Manchester leaders want £75m.

Gvt offering £22.4 million for implementation plus (unspecified sum of) “business support”

Manc leaders claim total gvt support package wd add up to £55m which some think isn’t enough

But nothing agreed until everything agreed etc

Amazing admission buried at the bottom of this Richard Littlejohn column in the Daily Mail, berating people for working from home.
