Fascinating that accounts like this (that have over 140k followers, probably bought) still haven’t posted about the fact that her two wins as manager have ensured Union Berlins survival. First female to win a match in Europe’s top 5 leagues. Says a lot doesn’t it

Surely that’s the title sealed for Arsenal now? City cracked under pressure today…

This thankfully is yet another example of why basing everything on data is so flawed in football.

You just have to use your eyes to see the many ways the team has improved.

Consensus says: Man Utd have thrived since Carrick replaced Amorim

xG (for/against) says: Man Utd have declined since Carrick replaced Amorim

Brilliant casting!

CELEBRITY TRAITORS SERIES TWO CAST ANNOUNCED 🚨🚨🚨

The consistent inconsistency we’ve come to expect from the refs /
PGMOL…

It would be something to laugh at if it wasn’t ruining our game.

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

The VAR wanted a closer look at a potential hair pull by Dominic Calvert-Lewin on Marc Cucurella...

Nothing doing. The Leeds United forward had his hair pulled by Manchester United Lisandro Martinez at Old Trafford — the Argentinian was shown a red card...

𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗹. Modern football.

Don’t really understand tactics by #CSK this year in terms of selection and the approach by individual players. #IPL

[Manish Pandey @_ManishPandey]

Out of interest, how many games was Rodri banned for?

Maguire’s right anyway.

[Laurie Whitwell @lauriewhitwell]

FA have released reasons for Harry Maguire ban.

Fourth official Matt Donahue alleges Maguire said: “You’re all a fucking joke.”

Maguire’s defence: “I said something along lines of, ‘it is a fucking joke.’”

Commission preferred Donahue testimony ⬇️

Love @DaleSteyn62 on #IPL comms… so good 🫡

There’s that off-ramp…

As much as it hurts #CSK fans - this just isn’t a very good team (specifically bowlers). Fully expect them to finish bottom of the table. #RCBvsCSK #IPL

[Manish Pandey @_ManishPandey]

How you can give that as a penalty and red card when you don’t give the Amad one…!!!! Definition of disgraceful officiating. #mufc

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Here's an Iftar on Trafalgar Square.

And here’s Easter, Diwali, Vaisakhi and Chanukah.

London is, and will always be, a place for everyone. #UnityOverDivision

Strategy cost Ferrari? #AusGP

“If a U.S. role were to be confirmed, the strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East.”

[Manish Pandey @_ManishPandey]

Some of the reaction on here by #mufc fans to last night’s loss is pretty weird. Bad game, bad performance - but not the end of the world. Certainly not as bad as under Amorim.

As for the Scholes Instagram story: To see some club legends sink as low as they are… like, grow up?

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, the BBC understands https://t.co/6qVtVZJ5GQ

Just to clarify a few misconceptions and highlight some interesting things I’ve seen re: journalism.

My question was admittedly long but journalists typically ask three or four questions which when added up are of an equal-ish time to mine. I deliberately chose to ask one detailed question instead.

I mentioned the 2006 columns as I wanted to see if 1) his opinion had changed 20 years on and 2) how he deals with that as a coach now rather than an analyst or writer.

His answers provided inference to both even if he didn’t explicitly say so, which is helpful for my work going forward.

And lastly, I asked that question as I am working on a piece around those ideas.

The quotes feed into the article. The article is the end product.

Getting more information from an interviewee is probably the aim when the interview is the end product.

Getting new information relevant to the article is the aim when the article is the end product.

Everyone entitled to an opinion on someone’s journalist approach. As someone with a big passion for football especially tactically, I’m enjoying trying new things and I’m happy with how it’s gone so far whilst always trying to improve with guidance from the best.

Excited to share my piece next week so stay tuned.
