New from the best selling author. A new west of Scotland series about Sheila Smith, an uncompromising, cat-loving Geordie investigative journo. Not a story for the squeamish or easily scared.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Everyone is thinking too much. Trump etc are just people who mistake stupidity for cleverness There is no thought/plan/reason. Just random selfish whims

Champion's League on TV

Rio Ferdinand 'sounds like the family dog trying to speak' and should not go near football's best show
There are two common themes in Johnny's football week on TV: Rio Ferdinand is not great, but TNT's Goals Show absolutely is and Sky Sports should follow it.

The madness of playing it out from the back
www.football365.com/news/opinion...
The Big Number Nine has bruised and battered past possession football and that should be celebrated - Football365
There is nothing inherently wrong with passing out from defence, provided you have capable players. But tactics evolve and 4-4-2 with a big striker is back.

Disparity of finances in the Europa and Conference is never mentioned. Spurs worth about 750 million Euros more than their opponents. If they lose, money is worth nothing and whole raison d'etre of PL is a sham

The idea that the Premier League sells itself on its own supposed elite status is unsustainable when you actually view the product.

Watching Man Utd sent me to sleep; the Lowland League is better!
It wasn't Wes Brown's fault but Wolves v Man Utd was a snooze-fest. But our man woke up for some Roberto Martinez on Prime.
