Roberto Mancini: "Nobody remembers that Yaya [Toure] was off injured. Nigel De Jong was on. The last 10 minutes, we had five strikers on. They had one man less, as [Joey] Barton had been sent off. We had a lot of chances to score but still we are losing 1-2." [via @MailSport]
I asked Russians about Ukraine. Responses:
“Ukrainians are our brothers.”
“Our government's busy with a meaningless show of force.”
“Ukraine can’t exist without Russia.”
“I don't care about Ukraine. I’m too busy shovelling snow.”

Such a pleasure to reunite with my former manager, the legend, Roberto Mancini in Florence 🇮🇹. He’s responsible for many of my best memories! We reminisced about the good days, THAT Aguero goal, Euro 2020 🏆 Balotelli’s return & so much more. Full piece ⬇️

Indulge me sharing this. Got a note from @JemStone saying my drum and bass mix for @BBC6Music was the 'most requested on demand music episode in @BBCSounds last week'. That includes all the BBC's music stations. Am gobsmacked. Thanks if you listened.

Alexei Navalny:
He was poisoned.
He was jailed.
His organisation was banned.
Now he’s been added to a list of ‘terrorists & extremists’ (along with several of his allies).
Tennis Australia says that it asked fans to remove ‘Where is Peng Shuai?’ t-shirts in the interests of her safety. Experience in the old USSR showed that keeping dissidents before the public eye was the best way of protecting them from harm. Ignoring them threatened their safety.
