Dammit. Better update my bio - people will think I’m a City fan.

Honestly my reservations about this season don’t include set pieces but do include being the only team not to breach Liverpool’s defence.

No idea why Tuchel is getting all the hate over his squad selection. Toney's experience playing in half-empty stadiums under an authoritarian regime could prove invaluable.

- Subsidising consumption in the face of a supply shock - reducing incentives to drive less/switch to EVs - using up limited fiscal space to help better-off drivers rather than the most vulnerable. Hard to think of a worse policy right now.

The football authorities will not stand for flouting the rules. Unless you’re from a corrupt petrostate, obviously.

Kyiv bids farewell to 12yo Lyubava and 17yo Vira Yakovlieva, murdered in the russian missile attack on their home on May 14. Many defenders, their fallen dad's brothers-in-arms arrived to pay them the last tribute. This is unbearable.

My friend was a pensions expert for KPMG. He said if you think social care is bad now wait over the next 20-30 years for an avalanche of destitute pensioners all having to live in the private rental market, all with no assets.

On reflection, the two Manchester teams are the only systematic beneficiaries of VAR so this may play better nationally than in Makerfield.

Ukraine’s resilience has been extraordinary. In a better world, the role of UK-European cooperation in helping them when a Russian stooge took over in Washington would be a huge point of pride.

Big day in London. Fascist and pro-Palestine marches. With the FA Cup final police will be stretched, though guess Chelsea in the final will reduce Yaxley-Lennon’s turnout.
