That is a lot of information. It is a good routine, very efficient.

Old man's in the home end at Burton v Derby today with some former work colleagues. I've got Radio Derby on in the background.
It's mildly amusing to hear them keeping listeners updated with scores from Fleetwood and Stevenage, but I smirked just now when we were informed that Jarrod Bowen had put West Ham ahead at Bournemouth 'for those of you with fantasy league teams this season'.

Radio Derby calling it 'The A38 Derby'. Jesus wept.

"Mikel Arteta: Arsenal have 'no number ones' in any positions"
All number two's then? Trust the process.

Got a £100 cheque from the premium bonds for my son. I had no idea we had premium bonds. I can only guess we bought them when he was born.

That will cover the cost of the booze you needed to recover from spending a day aimlessly traversing the Tube network.

Premier League broadcasting rights in Canada are held by a company called Fubo TV. They just announced that Premier League football is brought to me by Tonybet, which I'm sure goes down well with Brentford fans.

South American football is something else.

This is perfectly reasonable, and not at all childish. I think that we should all lock ourselves in the toilet, until the way that the world works is fair.

The whole thing has become absolutely ridiculous, RFEF have threatened to pull out of UEFA if they force Rubiales' firing which will mean no Spanish clubs in any European competitions. This guy must have some serious dirt on some powerful people.
-
Perhaps so. It's a real shame how it's completely overshadowed the achievements of the Spanish players, who were individually and collectively superb against England in the final.
You also can't help feeling it could have been handled so much better, i.e. Rubiales apologises privately (and very correctly) to Hermoso and then (if none of them want him gone) he agrees with the Spanish FA to issue an open resignation letter expressing huge regret at a collosal error of judgment, which is swiftly rejected.
I'd have no issue, however, with the lecherous fool being binned but he appears to be protected from on high - maybe for the reason Russ suggests.
-
No disrespect intended whatsoever, but I find this 'completely overshadowed' sort of argument completely fallacious. I don't know about you, but I would have long forgotten that the Spanish women had even won the world cup, never mind how wonderful they had been. But this is conveniently reminding me about eight times a day.
I don't need a false context setting, nor need to consider a terrible made up woe....beyond the fact that this man is clearly a massive prick, and has a long history of being terrible for women and Spanish football federation. I do not feel that the women's achievements are being overshadowed...and if this reminds people that many spanish women footballers elected to miss out a lifetimes opportunity to attend a world cup rather than be under the auspices of this regime, it might be a decent thing.

I sat and watched the final last weekend with my 10-year-old daughter who previously has shown no interest in football, but enjoyed following England's progress in the World Cup. I'll be the first to admit I'd heard of none of Spain's players before this game but was hugely impressed. They are positive role models for young girls and I was keen for Little Miss BW to embrace this fact during the tournament.
Since last Sunday I've read and heard nothing about these Spanish players because the whole news agenda has been dominated by a middle-aged twat with a shocking sense of judgement during the biggest moment of their lives. This is a real shame and, notwithstanding the wider valid points you make, I'd argue has regrettably overshadowed their achievement.
