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. ❤️

Today’s Truth or Padel guest was Thiago Alcantara. The padel standard: pretty high!

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?
It’s Truth or Padel episode two with @David_Ornstein

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

When he says something like
“Did I walk out because I didn’t play? No. Of course. I walk out because they disrespect me.”
Which is the same thing.
Just a hunch anyway

Manchester City reported £949.4m arriving from sponsors over nine years.
The real number was £119.2m. Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG), the club’s owner, forked out the remaining £830.7m in what the commission described as a “disguised funding scheme”.
City are alleged to have overstated their revenue by £854.5m over nine years.
We knew it was going to be bad. But this bad? No, it is on a different scale to anything the Premier League has seen before.
