So heartening to seen all the love for Danny K.
We were genuinely like brothers with a shorthand understanding and in-jokes that now is lost forever to me.
Music, Football, Life - we shared an absurd private universe of turmoil.
We feared change...and now here it is.

@sgfmann Add the impressive music pedigree.

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

The chances are that, even if Arsene Wenger mounts a challenge for the FIFA presidency, Gianni Infantino will still win.

And even if he does stand, and gets elected, he might not, on balance, actually be a force for good.

But such are the lows that the FIFA presidency has sunk to, a reluctant man with bad ideas might be the best option available.

How very sad. A man who understood what football meant to the fans, and told stories, some tall tales, with a great sense of humour.

[talkSPORT @talkSPORT]

We are heartbroken to share that our much-loved friend and colleague Danny Kelly has died, aged 69.

A cherished part of talkSPORT for so many years, Danny brought extraordinary wit, warmth and knowledge to our airwaves. His passion for football, music and life was infectious, and his kindness touched everyone around him.

“I love football, Stan. I love it.”

We loved you, Danny. We’ll miss you dearly.

Our thoughts are with Danny’s family, friends and everyone who loved listening to him.

Mitch Starc on Usman Khawaja’s revelations in his book: “I haven’t paid much attention to it.”

Did you all know that ball tampering was going on?

“We weren’t aware that anything was taken on the field.”

[Chris Scull @cjscull]

Was lucky enough to have spent a great deal of (West Ham-based) time with Tommy Walsh over the years. What a lovely man. He’ll be sorely missed. RIP 💔

Can anyone explain why hospital pharmacies are such places of doom? Simple prescription, can’t take it away to my local chemist, told wait time is over an hour. It just means I am clogging the place alongside much more serious cases than mine.

@davidwarner31 This is pretty grim

[George Mann @sgfmann]

Sensational stuff from @davidwarner31 . Explosive. 2027 Ashes tour will be fun if Cummins and Smith are picked.

[Test Match Special @bbctms]

David Warner has released a video in which he says Usman Khawaja's recounting of the 2018 ball tampering scandal is "100% accurate".

Khawaja has claimed the entire Australia team knew about the use of sandpaper in the match. The bowlers have consistently denied any knowledge.
