Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come.
‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.
Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.
Human errors are to be reduced. First Brentford and now Liverpool. I would imagine it’s not down to VAR as tech because it is only as good as the people behind it. And it’s done more damage for the English game than progress it. Most famous league in the world? Arguably. Best? 🤔
You know it’s going to be an exciting adventure in Istanbul when the taxi has a roller mechanism for the window andddd all the other propositioning drivers are saying, “No no. Problem. Him. Police problem”
A year of protest against the federation chief.
Slept on pavements for 40 days.
Was beaten, dragged by the police.
Nearly immersed all her medals in the Ganga.
Underwent knee surgery.
Sealed her Olympic spot after an unforgiving qualification process.
Became the 1st Indian woman wrestler to qualify for three successive Olympics.
And now, she's beaten the unbeatable defending champ, won two more bouts to become the first Indian woman to reach a wrestling Olympic final.
Words fail to appreciate what Vinesh Phogat has just done.
