During Covid there was a trend of football fans asking their their non-football-fan relatives to name an XI of players they knew. It was a fun, silly game, so I asked my mum to do one because I missed her.
Two years since her passing feels like a good time to share it. ❤️

I've been lucky enough to watch Harry Kane up close since 2011. My piece on his pursuit of mastery and his endless capacity to surprise.

The away end is an integral part of English football — a glorious, viscous, putrid glue that keeps the whole edifice together.
These people are a special breed; faithful, hardy and very committed, left at the mercy of the fixture list and travel disruption, which is frequent.
@GeorgeCaulkin was in the away end on Sunday to watch Newcastle United beat Crystal Palace: nyti.ms/4BudJF9

The more you read about Khaldoon Al Mubarak, the more you realise he can’t carry on as City chairman if PL is to maintain integrity
Wholly unsurprising that he tried this - and yet still shocking that he did - via @FT
This is why nation states can’t own football clubs
Has there ever been a player who insisted on playing international football for too long and whom managers were too scared to drop in the same way as Ronaldo?
Neymar, perhaps, but injuries got them used to playing without him over time. Other than that, can't think of many
I don’t have the words to describe this crash out from Ronaldo. So I’ll recommend this piece by @jacklang on Jorge Jesus

David Ornstein asks Danny Drinkwater the kinds of questions you might not ordinarily ask.
Drinkwater can only skip by winning the point.
Obvious place to start: do you regret joining Chelsea?

The most concerning part of the whole thing which makes me pessimistic re: commensurate punishments being handed out.
And, as many have pointed out, exactly why state ownership should never have been allowed.
Exclusive with @AlexDooler @DNair5
UAE officials have warned the UK government that the severity of Man City’s punishment could undermine their appetite for future grand-scale commitments in Britain, according to people familiar with the matter
They consider the Premier League’s actions to have an influence on the bilateral state relationship, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing undisclosed information
The extraordinary pressure comes after Andy Burnham faced criticism, including from within government, for saying Man City’s Abu Dhabi owners should not be disqualified specifically because of the investment they bring to Britain
