My club may go up to the Premier League next season, but a part of me fears what will come next.

The Premier League is the Promised Land for many lower-league fans but for those who’ve been up and come back bruised, is it anti-football to not want promotion?

That’s the existential question I asked myself for @F365.

And today on Forest and the mess Mr Marinakis has created:

A busy week in the world of #PL manager sackings has allowed me to flex my feature writing muscles over at @F365.

First on Spurs and Frank being only a part of a much wider problem:

I graciously and humbly accept the crown for best predictor at @Planet_F1.

(Ignore who I picked as champion)

2025 has been a hot mess for #Alpine but away from this year, there are a few reasons to be optimistic about the future.

Here's my long read for @Planet_F1 on why 2026 may just work out for the Anglo-French team.

Was great to sit down with Joe Cole ahead of the release of his autobiography and chat all things Mourinho, Chelsea and his plans to move into coaching.

England have had a tendency to rely on Ben Stokes in big moments but as he heads to Australia as captain, he must avoid overplaying himself in search of answers.

Some pre-#Ashes thoughts for @Cricket365.

The latest rumours of an imminent Man City FFP verdict predict chaos but anyone hoping for anything more than a slap on the wrist is likely to be disappointed.

My piece for @F365 on why Man City being relegated was never a realistic option.

Premier League football is back baby, here are five things to keep an eye out for this weekend...

🗣️“It’s not working.”

#MUFC legend Gary Pallister spoke to me about the under-fire Ruben #Amorim and whether he has a future at the club.

Six current #F1 drivers are out of contract at the end of this season, including most notably George Russell.

For @Planet_F1, I've got out the crystal ball and predicted what will happen to each of them 🔮

[Tennis365 @tennis365com]

With more and more players retiring mid-game, @samcooper_ argues it's time for the ATP to bring in heat measures.

#ShanghaiMasters

https://t.co/3rEi10ZAZT

[Sam Cooper @samcooper_]

Amorim? Ratcliffe? Fergie? A horse?

The sinking of #MUFC from title-winners to mid-table mediocrity has been decades in the making.

For @F365, I looked at the people most to blame for the mess of Manchester United.

As my B in GCSE would attest, maths is not my strongest suit but I cracked out the calculator to work out how much Carlos Alcaraz could earn by the end of his tennis career.

Short answer: A mind-blowing amount of money

Long answer: ⬇️

Speaking to an OnlyFans creator was not something I thought I would do in my sports journalist career but the platform is having an increasingly big influence in tennis.

I spoke to ATP Tour player Pedro Martinez for @tennis365com about why he signed up.

[Football365 @F365]

Arsenal hammered Nottingham Forest in a performance that should convince Mikel Arteta he does not always need to play with the handbrake on.

[Football365 @F365]

After a generation of small but technical strikers, the Premier League looks to be in a new era of huge centre forwards leading the line...

[Sam Cooper @samcooper_]

Of the €313.95m worth of talent that Universal Twenty Two represents, Alexander Isak is €120m of it so could the promise of a sizeable payday be what really started a summer of sulking?

My look for @F365 on the agents behind the Isak affair.

[Sam Cooper @samcooper_]

An enjoyable part of the job is taking news and adding some analysis/opinion to it.

Would have been easy to report Amorim's quotes as they were but in this piece, I looked out how his post-Grimsby debrief marked a tone shift.

For @F365
