Good news if it’s correct.

In football, management is vastly overrated, just as it is in most other spheres. If the players are good enough you win if they aren’t you don’t. It is not Tuchels fault,just like it wasn’t Southgate’s,Hodgson, Capello or Ericsson’s fault.The players are just not as good as we are told they are.

Next time pirates board a ship in international waters I’m guessing the BBC will report it as a ship being diverted.

Isn’t seizing a boat in international waters otherwise known as piracy ?

I see Brescia Calcio are about to be declared bankrupt. Founded in 1911 and where Baggio,Pirlo,Balotelli, Toni and Pep Guardiola all played. No club is too big or too old to fail. That should cheer us all up on a sunny June Sunday #swfc

About 7/8 of these built over the last four or five years. All valued at >£2m. All sold and none occupied. Tell me we don’t need a wealth tax

Blackrock has just bought 3 British Freeports, Felixstowe, Thamesport, and Harwich for $22 billion in a deal via Hong Kong pushed by Donald Trump. Did you hear about this in the MSM?

“The final decision will be his”. The pressure being placed on a 15 year old, to up sticks and leave his friends and all he has known for years just,so a rich owner has the cash to pay the wages of team mates and lowly paid backroom staff is the most obscene part of the current situation #swfc

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract. Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal. Here’s how they got it completely wrong. 👇👇

So Philp has just effectively said that employers should have the right to say ‘No blacks,no Irish, no tinkers’ #bbclaurak

“Do you acknowledge right now” (or words to that effect) is the standard question from #bbclaurak every week, with every politician. Is this really the best the BBC can do ? Gotcha questions never work, politicians are trained not to get caught so do better Laura, it’s not good viewing or smart.

Why do we think Thai Union give a fig for what happens to an English football club. A few thousand angry football fans is hardly going to affect the share price or sales of a company the other side of the world.

Time for some serious journalism. I'm not knocking your column, but as the same with the BBC football heaven boys, it's based around social media and a keyboard with a little more knowledge than us fans. Boots on the ground in Thailand, and why don't Thai Union his family back him is the Big story.

If Beckham is going get a Knighthood surely Kevin Sinfield and John Burkhill (aka The Man with the Pram) are going to get one as well. If not why not ?

Richest man in the world and the most powerful man in the world acting like kids in the playground. Absolutely pathetic. We are expected to respect and look up to these people, what a joke.

If western leaders were serious about their criticism of the aid tragedy unfolding in Gaza they would escort the aid flotilla into the Strip with naval warships under the UN flag. What would Israel actually do to stop it ?

Lot of similarities with the recent history of Derby County.Spend big fail to get promotion,owner sells ground to stay afloat but runs out of money. Embargo,points deduction then relegation, then sale. New owners stabilise club but don’t have much money and ticket prices stay high. #swfc

So I’m guessing Musk has played his game of ‘Let’s get a President Elected’ so he is now playing the game of ‘How to get rid of a President’.
