My first proper @Substack article is out today. What would have happened had England qualified for Euro 2008 (I put a 30 minute timer on myself to keep the length down).

After "I Swear" scored seven BAFTA Scotland nominations, the British Academy has said Tourette's campaigner John Davidson will watch the ceremony "via video link from a separate relaxed space within the venue."

Just as I think I cannot possibly enjoy this any more, here comes Louis van Gaal
🇳🇱 Louis van Gaal advised to call in lawyers over Manchester City role in Manchester United sacking

💬 "The team that finished fourth that year. Indeed, you guessed it: Manchester City. The club that was definitively exposed this week as the biggest cheat in football history, following fraud and deception on a staggering scale."
💬 "The entire English football world has turned against the club. But let us not forget the unforeseen individual victims in all this: Van Gaal, too, deserves vindication. Sue them into oblivion, Louis."
