Now that proper football's back you'll no doubt have an insatiable appetite for football books.

'Escape: A Love Letter to a Cult Football Classic', on Escape to Victory or one of the 'Booked!' trilogy will see you right.

If you like football, reading & a laugh, they're for you.

Donald Trump vows to rename artificial intelligence, saying that from now on it will be called "super intelligence" on all official US documents.

The president adds that this "sounds much better" and is more accurate.

Another wider angle. He's just been mowed down by the pitch roller.

@GuvnaB I was screaming 'Up him, up him!' So fair play.

[John Smith @verypopularname]

The first half was the worst thing I've seen on ITV since 'Love on a Saturday Night'. West Ham a bit better second half. Goals came out of nowhere. Kante - good goal & had had to take the red.

Happily take the draw, and enjoy the two week break.

Everybody get home safe.

Any sightings ( hearings) please let me know.
