Can't believe what I've just listened to here🤬Everything about the owners of City is just wrong, the IFR simply has to remove them from football altogether🤬 The Premier League certainly need to take a look at themselves also.

Harry Kane: a salute from Wembley. From his first cap to this record-equalling 125th, Kane has given everything. From his first England goal, within 78 seconds of his debut 11 years ago, to this record-stretching 90th and 91st, Kane has kept the England fans buzzing and the statisticians busy. To the delight of the 75,000+ England fans, this 3-0 win that secured qualification to the quarter-finals of the Nations League showcased Kane’s goalscoring verve: the clinical shot and then rising high for a header.

Kane was subbed early, ensuring a standing ovation. He was quick to stride back on the field after the final whistle, going straight to the officials to shake hands, then saluted his team-mates and the vanquished Czechs before heading round applauding the fans. He never forgets the sacrifices they make. He never takes their support for granted. And that’s one of the many reasons Kane’s revered.

What a journey he’s been on since 2015 – and more drama and landmarks to come. Kane, 33, will surely become a centurion in 2027. He will surely lead England into Euro 2028. Kane’s always positive, always forward-looking on and off the field. He’s endured some nadirs on this journey to 125. Nice 2016 remains a scar on the memory, and an affront to Kane’s talent when instructed to take corners. But so many highs: five group-stage goals at 2018 World Cup; quarterbacking and two assists in the epic win over Spain in Seville in 2018; and four knockout-stage goals at Euro 2020.

Wembley’s a second home to Kane. He was raised further east around the North Circular, developing his game at the Peter May Sports Centre in Walthamstow. His hunger for self-improvement was seen early, an undimmed quality that a packed Wembley celebrated tonight.

It speaks volumes for Kane’s character as a man that he has never forgotten his grass-roots. He regularly contributes to causes helping protect and preserve London playing fields. He’s not changed. He’s still a humble, principled man, a strong family man.

At a time when the sport is under threat, and people fear for the future of the Premier League this season and beyond, England’s captain offers a timely reminder of the goodness in the game. It’s why Wembley saluted him long and loud tonight. They acclaimed his work-rate, his commitment to the cause. When some pull out of squads, Kane always reports. Workload? He makes light of that. He played 83 minutes against Spain at Wembley; 71 against Czechia in Prague; 70 against Croatia in Rijeka; and now 81 against Czechia here at HQ.

He scored, of course he did, it’s what Kane does. He scored twice. The first from Morgan Rogers’ expert cross, the second from Lewis Hall’s inswinging corner. He also contributes so much out of possession, setting the tone for the team’s tempo. He’s more than goals, dropping back early on here, almost to the goal-line to stop a Czech attack. He delivered a quick free-kick through to Rogers. He held the ball up, laying it off to Rogers and Jude Bellingham. He pressed Martin Vitik. He forced the first goal, putting in such a tricky cross that Vladimir Coufal panicked and put through his own net.

Wembley had so many reasons to celebrate Kane, the role model and model striker. His dedication has been total even when his journey has been a rollercoaster at times. His 53rd goal, breaking Wayne Rooney’s record, came in that heartbreaking defeat to France at the 2022 World Cup. And that rare missed spot-kick. But Kane never shirks responsibility. In the next international, in the Naples bear-pit, Kane nailed his pressure penalty which ultimately defeated Italy.

He shared the Golden Boot at Euro 2024. He’s never stopped adding to his goal collection, six more at the 2026 World Cup. And two more tonight. And more to come for Harry Kane MBE. #ENG #ENGCZE

The guy at the presser was useless. Totally didn’t get the script, and probably doesn’t even watch boxing. A Netflix gimmick probably. Eddie Hearn too right on this one, you could feel it in the crowd.

[thesportscut @thesportscut1]

Cocky? Arrogant? Massive ego? Maybe.
But @EddieHearn is 100% right. 😂

He’s a dying breed in boxing. Name me another promoter who can stand there with no prompts, no script, no notes and talk in detail about EVERY fighter on his card — right down to the young prospects nobody’s heard of yet.

Say what you want about Eddie, but when it comes to selling a fight, working a room and creating hype, the bloke is box office. 🎙️

Imagine Eddie hosting yesterday’s presser…
It would’ve been absolute chaos. 🥊

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Beer throwing seems a national sport at times. Ball, net, beer, air. It would be unwise of clubs to allow their stadia’s stands on match-days to be used for this new national sport. Unless you have a designated drinking/beer-throwing section - hard in packed PL grounds - it is hard to see how drinking alcohol in the stands will be universally welcomed. Issues of faith. Issues of not wanting to be showered in beer. Utter soak nonsense.

Issues of VAR complicating timing of these lager launches. Issues of drinkers bearing trays returning to their seats, distracting everyone in their row from the game. Excuse me, excuse me. Spillage.

Issues of a few minutes later the return run with an empty tray and full bladder. There are enough interruptions in the game anyway. And stewards are often busy enough without dealing with the occasional over-imbiber. 

English football has changed and the trouble on the terraces has largely disappeared. The concern over the return of drinking in the stands is less the consumption but the projection. The PM is right to consider ways of helping clubs wanting to maximise revenue - and alcohol sales is one way. But the complications are considerable. It’s a hangover English football doesn’t need.

And ending the ban could impact local pubs - many of which have been under threat. British Beer and Pub Association claims that almost two a day are going out of business (161 in first quarter of 2026 inc 2,600 jobs). 

Football has bigger issues than debating repealing the booze ban.

[Harry L @hazza_lines]

It’s a nonsense to bring this in. Only works for those in the hospitality seats to legally drink their drinks and watch the game, and idiots who love throwing beer around like children. There’s enough drunks at games, let’s try and move forwards and not backwards! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Here we throw. An England fan on a group WhatsApp with 200 home-and-away members reports that most of those polled are against the PM’s idea of a trial allowing fans to be able to drink alcohol in the stands. “Most don’t want that Boxpark culture of beers being thrown in the air when there is a goal, those few idiots throwing up, or having people shuffle past them every min to go get their pint and come back. The reasons for the ban in the first place (the terrace culture of decades ago) may have gone, but that doesn’t mean that lifting it will all go smoothly.”

Sad indictment of modern day football, where the money comes first, and the heartbeat of the clubs (the fans) come way further back.

Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur's £1bn stadium and it’s unnervingly quiet.

There is a buzz around the ground as thousands of people rush to make kick-off, but no chanting, no shouting, no singing, no anticipation.

A lone man in his thirties with bloodshot eyes yells, “Come on you Spurs”. He is drunk and an anomaly.

The boos are what generate the headlines but what hits you harder is the silence.

What has happened to Spurs?

Disgusting. Too many midfielders lounging about the place, the other players are just mirroring that behaviour and clogging up the pitch, rather than making movements to try and get shots on target, let alone, god forbid, goals!! Shocking to watch.

Manchester United’s out-of-possession stats in the PL this season:

- 20th in distance at high intensity
- 20th in time spent at high intensity
- 20th in sprints
- 20th in time sprinting
- 17th in % of time walking out of possession

[Louie 🇱🇧 @UTD_Louie]

There’s a line from Roy Keane autobiography in 2002, where he talks about the mentality of the United team in the first 15 minutes of games. I’m paraphrasing, but it was along the lines of “we know we have more quality than any other team, the only thing the opposition could ever be better at than us is intensity and fight. So for the first 15 minutes we always go out high intensity, starting from the tunnel. We let them know within 15 minutes that they won’t even beat us at duels and battles, then when we’ve killed their spirit, we start playing football”.

That was a treble winning captain talking about running and dueling first, before anything. No great team is 20th in running.

A disgrace.
