Kane used to watch the Ballon d’Or battles between Messi & Ronaldo and now he’s replicating their numbers, putting him among the favourites for the honour. Kane’s remarkable 73 goals for club and country only eclipsed by Messi in the top 5 European leagues back in 2011-2012. @Bundesliga@UCL@FCBayern
🗣️ "Last year was my best year in my career, both individually and from a team point of view."
@HKane on being nominated for the 2026 Ballon d'Or and not slowing down at 33 💪

Depression is a brain virus we are only at the beginnings of truly understanding. Know if you think you can’t cope it’s just your body and brain tiring, not you tiring of life. Hold on, reach out for help, there is so much out there and the rest … becomes the greatest gift.
The numbers are terrifying, and it’s so so complex. But also, never underestimate the power of conversation, connecting, being there, call it what you will. And sitting, walking, outside, can still do its bit too. Spent a good few quid on benches, and will spend some more too.
Football is sick cos what do you mean you won a treble as a player and 16 years later you’re managing that same team in a UCL vs the manager who lead you to that treble
Just to warn anyone navigating the rebooking of flights.
It’s worth knowing Budapest airport currently has a one hour passport queue for checks, if you’re landing for a connection.
Just to add to the fun.

Our amazing Ambassador, Dame Arlene Phillips, wants you to join her in calling for every dementia diagnosis to come with answers, support and a clear plan for what happens next.
Dame Arlene knows the steps and the moves government needs to take to make diagnosis the lifeline it should be.
So, if like us, like Dame Arlene, you feel like people affected by dementia deserve better, then join us in demanding a nationally recognised guarantee that people receive a diagnosis, a personalised care plan and, where appropriate, treatment within 18 weeks.
The jolting surprise that hit me from the US World Cup was the handbrake turn there since my April visit. Cross-faith anger at Netanyahu and Trump is vocal, not anti-Semitic or anti-Israel, but distinctly against two power-hungry leaders and it's widely agreed on. The UK lags behind this US shift, maybe because Trump’s actions are directly felt in the States.
I thought this was a very significant exchange on the US reaction to UK sanctions on Israeli settlements
The fact Donald Trump *hasn’t* posted on Truth Social feels like a statement in itself…
‘The man I grew up with is not here anymore, and I miss him everyday.’
