Morning all. It seems wrong to be writing about 22 men kicking a bag of air around on the day of the late Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, but life goes on. The now King Charles knows that, as do all of his family who’ve barely stopped for breath...

Morning all. Remember this? Of course you do, the sarcastic tweet from Ivan Toney after the opening fixture of last season. The comment was humiliating but that’s social media for you. Mikel Arteta used the comment to motivate his team in the return match at...

Morning all. The news so many people probably never wanted to hear, came yesterday. The passing of the Queen is dreadfully sad news, but not even she could go on forever. A truly remarkable lady who will be missed. Football kind of feels insignificant this morning but...
