So proud of this. A lot of hard work from a lot of great people. The MUNDIAL PUMA King is beautiful, and it’s out now! Please enjoy the film we made:

Brentford paying that much for Dango Ouattara feels both odd, and completely at odds with everything they’ve done to get here. They’d get the same player for less than half that price if they shopped outside of England.

Did they even check the aerial challenge? That was a certain foul, regardless of the following sliding tackle.

The ‘sorry’ no-celebration? Srsly? My guy was at Inter for like 5 minutes. It’s the UCL final, mate.

In France, watching some sort of Djibril Cisse testimonial. Feels supremely unfair that Bafetimbi Gomis is about to start running round all these old men.

All credit due to Inter, what a performance and contribution to this spectacle… it’s Barca, though, who have forced this whole tie into the madness we’re all lapping up. Inter have tried time and again to restore some order but simply haven’t been allowed to do that.

Don’t care who wins the UCL, as long as I get as much Barca as possible. They are just so fun.

This Barca side is brilliantly batshit. And also the most courageous group of players on the ball anywhere in elite football right now. Every one of them risks it all to go forward at every chance. They’re the antidote to all Neville’s complaints on Sky.

And Dembele of course. Spent so long be so annoyed that a player so remarkably good at football could be that bad at football. The entire sport is better off when Dembele is at least somewhere near his extraordinary potential.
The best - possibly only - thing about PSG finally becoming a serious football team is that I’m no longer so sad for Marquinhos, who for a decade deserved so much better.

The most simple and crucial part of that whole routine is just getting back on side for the kick, lads.

Two co-comms is one too many. I’ve got McCoist, best in the business, I don’t need another.
