BREAKING: Vatican Football Association withdraws at last minute from voting for Gianni Infantino as FIFA president.
The Pope urges others to pull out too.
Martyn Ziegler deserves a Pulitzer Prize for this. He has saved football. There is no way that Infantino survives now and it's all because Ziegler somehow broke the story. If he allowed Infantino to do this on his own timetable, having the time to have clandestine chats in smokefilled rooms maybe he would have got it through but Ziegler had other ideas and that's journalism. Superb.
A real long shot but can people retweet this please.
Yesterday all my items were stolen in Eastbourne including my stats book which has 20 years worth of details in. Laptops, phones, clothes, shavers etc can all be replaced but this can’t and is useless to anyone else. It’s in a plastic folder you can see in the left hand side of this photo. Can anyone in that neck of the woods please keep an eye out. I’m gutted about this.
@mgshanks What about the Warm Homes Plan to help households reduce their energy bills? An entire industry has already gone because of fundamentally flawed reports based on a very small sample size and a Labour Party who were always opposed to the Energy Company Obligation
@energygovuk Any idea when you're actually going to tell anyone what's going on with the Warm Homes Plan or was it just a well presented 152 page document?
I appear to have just become an official Professor of Football Finance. Never thought it would happen when I started mucking around with spreadsheets many years ago.
Another nail in the coffin of jumpers for goalposts, but I'm over the moon.
Over to Sir Sean Dyche for a proper summary.
@KieranMaguire Congratulations Prof, you’ve surreptitiously taught a great number of people about accountancy and balance sheets. But, surely, it’s for Football Finance and Contributions to the Profanisaurus?
🎶 We've got some half-price playoff scarves
Cheaters in the long grass
TVs, camera phones
Ball games, Spyglass
And at a push
Hellberg's tactics from a mush hiding in a bush, Bush bush bush bush...🎶
"Get your limited edition playoff final scarves here, you know it makes sense!"

@PJTheEconomist It always starts as a "voluntary" scheme. But, no supermarket with their "razor thin" margins will do anything if it doesn't involve squeezing farmers even further
I'm assuming @JeremyClarkson that the idea of "reducing red tape" is just another government ploy to allow supermarkets to screw farmers over even more than they already have?
@arusbridger “And yet the hereditary system is all we have.” - That single sentence is Pythonesque. There are other systems such as an elected head of state who can be purely symbolic such as they have in Ireland. Just because that’s the system doesn’t mean we can’t grow up and change it.
