Brian Cox has moved his 80th birthday party to accommodate Arsenal's #UCL final against PSG.
The Succession star sat down with @AdamCrafton_ to discuss his admiration for Mikel Arteta, Arsenal & his love of the beautiful game.
Watch the full interview next week on The Athletic.
🚨 Carlo Ancelotti on why Paolo Maldini could never be compared to most modern defenders:
“Today, many defenders think passion means diving into tackles, shouting, and playing with constant aggression. Paolo showed that true greatness comes from control.”
“I remember one Serie A match where a striker spent the entire first half trying to provoke him pushing, talking, looking for reactions. Maldini never responded once.”
“At halftime, I asked Paolo if the striker was annoying him. He looked at me and said: ‘If he is talking this much, it means he already lost focus on the football.’”
“In the second half, Maldini completely dominated him without making the game dirty. That was his mentality. He defeated opponents mentally before he defeated them physically.”
“That is why he was special. He defended with elegance, intelligence, and authority not chaos.”
McNulty: I will be the drunkest man who ever lived
Bunk: No. I will
Kima: I am breaking into male-dominated fields such as policing, being drunk, & cheating on your woman 24/7
Herc: [oafish grunting]
Lester: I Am Become The Wire.
Ishan Kishan is a terrific cricketer who has just essayed an amazing international comeback.
He has also made almost a 100 crores just from IPL fees, not counting international duty and endorsements. This cheque is not a 100th of what he has already made and he's not the greedy sort.
So one can only assume this was literally a payout for a photo-op with him to ensure that the others in the picture got into the papers and all over social media.
Obviously, why spend one crore of government money on creating facilities or training centres or bankrolling poor athletes when you can instead use it to create a photo op by paying the one of the few athletes from your state who really does not need the money!
And that's why sport in India is where it is.
What a wild investigation in the @IndianExpress.
Excellent reporting by @mihirsv on how bureaucrats have been dipping into the National Sports Development Fund to build or upgrade their own world-class sports infrastructure in residential complexes. https://t.co/hAo85JwugP
