Robert Duvall joining an elite group of people who I’m sad to learn have died despite thinking they’d died several years ago.

*Alongside Dickie Bird and Patricia Routledge, among others. It’s a broad church.

Bethell isn’t going to make it. Have never seen him play, but that hairdo tells me enough.

Donnarumma could be the worst ‘great keeper’ since Seaman.

I see the Premier League launching its new ‘With Pride’ campaign has gone down *exactly* as you’d imagine with global fan bases.

Really couldn’t pay me enough to be running their social channels today.

As much as anything else on Gaiman, right now must be the worst time for a man accused of sex crimes to be giving it the ‘actually no, it is I, the famous and wealthy man, who is the victim’ dance?

If he’s not on for extra defensive cover, then why is McNeill on the pitch?

Oh football. I see Everton shining some rainbow lights on their ground with the message ‘all together now’ has gone down exactly as you’d expect among internet commenters.

I see yer man lost the incel wrestling and then threw a ‘men’s mental health’ into his post-match. A strange presence in a sport I absolutely can’t get my head round.

Due to an unforgivable Christmas present oversight by an auntie, my 9-year-old son, and therefore whole house, has entered its Lynx Africa phase early.
