Raya fouled? Probably
But let’s look at Rice on Mavropanos, Havertz/Soucek and Odegaard hugging Todibo
Trying to buy a new SIM from @O2 ... website refuses to recognise my address. Customer service via phone is 19 minute wait apparently. Amazed as ever that companies like this stay in business. Like they just don't want my money?
This is a terrible hire by @ftweekend .. Jay 'only Giles Coren is more of a c*nt' (to quote an ex - colleague of his) Rayner, especially so when it displaces the excellent Tim Hayward
