@DaleJohnsonBBC A great attempt to put into context that the £900m put in actually generated out £1.2bn more, to the detriment of other clubs. Factor in that 2018-26 the prize money was sustained and City built a squad/youth system that perpetuates the situation, the figure is probably £2bn+

[Andrew Ashcroft @NHSguy]

@HLTCO And it probably generated an extra £2bn of revenue from prize money, inflating player sales and other commercial income over the 8 years and the subsequent years

@afitzgeraldnhs Congrats Anthony, a great appointment for South Yorkshire 👍

Still one of the most powerful messages a football club has done for their community and others beyond 👇

@Paddy_Boyland @TheAthleticFC For a Premier League team not in Europe, 18 outfield players is probably enough to cover the 2 EPL midweek fixtures pre January? The two domestic cups barely overlap, and Johnson has played through the middle for Wales. Barring a Spurs esq injury list should be ok?

I’ve made a substack.

To cut a long story short I’d like to combine my Journalism degree, work, and passion for the Villa into something.

I’m not expecting anything from it.

But, if you’ve got a spare 5mins give my thoughts on Brugge a read

Completely agree with this.

To avoid increasing the length of tournament the first two group games can be played at same time, as happens with the final group games.

Tournaments held across 4 countries from one continental confederation. Easier to have 4 hosts with 64 teams

[Tancredi Palmeri @tancredipalmeri]

Said it after first match day.

Infantino’s claim to enlarge World Cup from 48 to 64 teams seemed a populist one, but actually could be the one making the most sense.

At 64 teams means only first 2 to qualify from groups.

And 47 out of 48 teams were absolutely competitive

Football should bring people together, not shut them out.

For the first time since the competition began, fans won’t be able to watch the Champions League final for free. That’s not right.

This is bigger than wanting to watch Arsenal in this historic final. It’s bigger than one club.

Hardworking people shouldn’t have to fork out for a subscription to watch this match.

I urge TNT Sports to reconsider and make the final next Saturday free to watch.

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the day the IRA bombed Warrington town centre and killed my son Tim and 3 yr old Johnathan Ball. Words can never describe how losing a child leaves a huge hole in your heart and your family. Eternal love Tim ❤️❤️

Menopause will be part of routine NHS health checks for the first time.

By tailoring checks to include questions around menopause, we hope more women will get the support they need to manage their symptoms.

Great to be with @TeamDoncaster1 partners (and our fabulous Rotherham colleagues) at the launch of national neighbourhood health programme - such great potential to increase our empowerment of our communities and residents @NHSSYICB #doncasterisgreat

[NHS England @NHSEngland]

All NHS staff should feel safe and welcome at work, and every patient should receive high quality and respectful care.
