If the Premier League cared one iota about fans, it would scrap VAR at the end of the season. It’s time to do the right thing. dailymail.com/sport/football…

OLIVER HOLT: The inside story of the Manchester derby VAR error

OLIVER HOLT: In the build-up to the implementation of VAR in in 2019, we chased the illusion of the perfect game. So let's call this our seven-year-itch.

Never seen anything like this at a tennis event. This is the queue to get into Arthur Ashe after security was ramped up for president Trump’s visit. The match is due to start in 22 minutes, already a half-hour delay

Chelsea's 'World Champions' badge is a meretricious piece of trash and an affront to their legends of 2012. With an insult-spewing manager, this club is all about show, not substance, writes OLIVER HOLT trib.al/iVfsAG8

Chelsea's 'World Champions' badge is a piece of pound shop tat

OLIVER HOLT: When Chelsea ran out at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, it looked as if a bit of tat from a pound shop had been stuck smack-bang in the middle of the players' chests.

Thomas Frank is a fun guy to be around, a cool dad who drinks champagne in the hot tub at 5am, as he did this summer. But now the partying is over. It is time to glove up and face the fight in front...

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: Why did Arsenal keep picking Thomas Partey?

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: Arsenal put out a little note on their website on June 4. It was the usual for that time of year, which meant thanking 20 players who were being released.

A long read on Jack Draper, “the kindest guy you’ll meet and also a savage”. 📧 The rage email that changed his life 🎾 “Why you showing me Melzer?” ⚽️ The Chelsea dilemma 🚑The injuries and the time bomb 📈A quicker jump than Federer/Murray/Sinner ⬇️ mol.im/a/14855043
The making of the 'monster' Jack Draper

The making of the 'monster' Jack Draper

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: There's yarn about Jack Draper that tells us a little about his backhand and far more about his mind. It is also why the sharer of this tale uses 'savage' as a term of endearment.

Abramovich's team's 5.30am text shows impossible job - IAN HERBERT

Chelsea and Man City playing competitive games in the USA - you better get used to it. Once the number of American owners in the PL rises to 14 - probably the season after next - games abroad will be top of their agenda and we won't be able to stop them dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba…
Chelsea and City playing in the US? Get used to it, writes OLIVER HOLT

This week’s column on Son Heung-min and the beauty of going the hard way. Wednesday was told predominantly through the lens of Postecoglou’s second season but it was every bit as much about the 10 of Son. A brilliant vindication. Read ⬇️ mol.im/a/14742779
Why Son is now a bigger Tottenham legend than Kane, Bale and Modric

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: We spoke one morning in 2019. That was in the August, in London, so two months after the evening in Madrid when everything went wrong against Liverpool.

Harry Kane is a nearly man no longer, writes OLIVER HOLT

OLIVER HOLT: This was the day that England's captain and record goalscorer lifted the trophy that meant he was a nearly man no longer. This was the day that a shadow fell away from him.
