Julia Roberts & Matthew Perry’s tragic love story:
Julia Roberts told Friends producers she would guest star in the show under the condition she be included in Chandler Bing’s storyline. Hearing this, Perry sent her “three dozen red roses and the card read, ‘The only thing more exciting than the prospect of you doing the show is that I finally have an excuse to send you flowers.’”
Roberts responded by sending him “lots and lots of bagels.”
The two then embarked on what Perry calls a “three-month courtship” through daily faxes.
“Three or four times a day I would sit by my fax machine and watch the piece of paper slowly revealing her next missive,” Perry writes. “I was so excited that some nights I would find myself out at some party sharing a flirtatious exchange with an attractive woman and cut the conversation short so I could race home and see if a new fax had arrived. Nine times out of ten, one had.”
By the time they shot the Super Bowl episode, they were already a couple.
But two months into the romance, Perry broke up with the actress. “Dating Julia Roberts had been too much for me. I had been constantly certain that she was going to break up with me. Why would she not? I was not enough; I could never be enough; I was broken, bent, unlovable,” he writes. “So instead of facing the inevitable agony of losing her, I broke up with the beautiful and brilliant Julia Roberts.”
After their breakup, Matthew developed a dr*g addiction and although they’ve separated, Julia offered her help to him
Matthew Perry has passed away on Julia Roberts’ birthday.

This whole debacle has been a constant lurch from one embarrassment and PR disaster to the next. How do they manage to make themselves look more and more incompetent by the day? The ESL debacle finally did for Woodward, the shambolic Greenwood debacle should be Arnold's swansong.

🚨 Man United chief executive Richard Arnold told the club’s executive leadership team in first week of August that the club planned to bring back Mason Greenwood. The club then aborted scheduled announcement for August 4. Details @TheAthleticFC

Every time Man City play a match, in any competition, anyone reporting on them should remember Uefa have already fined them 30m euros, un-appealed, for cheating, for 2014 and 2020 breaches. And they face 115 charges of PL rule breaches, ongoing.
Alex White retweeted
Even leaving aside the 115 pending Premier League charges against Man City, everything they've achieved since 2008 should be asterisked by the Uefa then CAS procedures in 2014 and 2020, and that's ignoring Spiegel.

Bayern fans put him a banner calling for Glazers, Mansour and autocrats to get out of the game, "Football belongs to the people".
The stadium responds by singing Mansour's name

City's latest run has provoked fears for PL future.
But if you were to imagine a state project that could afford the best of everything, it would look like this: 95+ points in repeat seasons, records smashed

Really feels that every #MUFC game leaves more and more unanswered questions for United fans. This @AdamCrafton_ piece conveys the current and confusing state of Manchester United:

A really important article by Pete Pattisson on awful workers and human rights in Qatar and Beckham's decision to become the ambassador for the World Cup next year. A crucial read for all:

Excellent piece by @Zonal_Marking on Manchester United. Solskjaer looks "compelled to start certain players because of their reputation, and largely in a job because he’s happy to placate them rather than make tough tactical decisions".

Iñaki Williams has played every league game for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS, a record. It's been some journey, one that started even before he was born, crossing the Sahara. Here, he tells the story his mum told him. Eventually. theguardian.com/football/202…

This summer, Southampton signed a 32-year-old free agent in Olly Lancashire. He will be an automatic starter, but never for the first team and yet has a vital role in the club’s future.
Welcome to the world of the ‘support player’.

Good news. Quite apart from the debate about atmosphere, there's so much persistent standing at most grounds. (Much more than when seating was first introduced, I'd say.) MUCH safer to stand in safe-standing conditions than in regular seating
After 32 years, it's victory for the #Safestanding campaign! Today @SGSA_UK confirmed that clubs can apply to be early adopters and introducing standing areas in the top two divisions in England from January 2022 thefsa.org.uk/news/32-year-s…
Some of the stuff that Bellingham can do at this age is unbelievable - so mature for a midfielder who turned 18 this year. Really enjoyable watching him that half and another ridiculous talent that England have at their disposal.

A fantastic letter from Southgate who has spoken so well on such important topics:
"It’s their duty to continue to interact with the public on matters such as equality, inclusivity and racial injustice [..] to help put debates on the table, raise awareness and educate."

Despite some of Southgate's drawbacks from a footballing point of view, he has conducted himself unbelievably in recent weeks. I love that he has also encouraged players to speak up and help make a difference across the country.
