the liverpudlian scribe will have watched with some consternation as his peers in the british football press were poached by the upstart american outfit. he will have felt that his career will have been going to the proverbial dogs

it's like there's no point beating Man City because somehow it's all down to them and fuck all to do with your own performance

love wilson obviously but that is a fucking torturous analogy

Jonathan Wilson really on peak metaphorical form this morning:
Back then, Mourinho’s outrages were mitigated by his charm. But now it is as though Richard III had suffered no Bosworth. This is him after almost two decades on the throne, worn down by tax planning, worrying about alum prices, dealing with uppity nobles, the French and Lancastrian pretenders and suffering the growing realisation that some of his past excesses – drowning his brother in a vat of malmsey, murdering his nephews in the Tower, ending Anders Frisk’s career – probably shouldn’t have been excused on the basis of a knowing glance and a quip that made a good headline.

jonathon wilson raises the bar on himself
In July 1971, Apollo 15 approached the moon. After the lunar module detached bearing the mission’s other two astronauts, Al Worden was left alone in the command module. When he went behind the moon, breaking transmission with Houston, he entertained himself by playing the Beatles, Elton John and John Denver and the soundtrack to 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Orbiting 2,235 miles from his companions on the moon’s surface and quarter of a million miles from Earth, Worden was for three days the most isolated human to have existed since Adam. Or at least he was until the 67th minute of the FA Cup final on Saturday.

I've never encountered Melissa Reddy before but she makes me feel like my brain is broken
Enter the gushing over not the player who produced the decisive goal at a pivotal moment, nor the one who significantly prevented one with his first spot-kick save since 2016.
Lingard’s delicious drive on 89 minutes secured the precious points, a huge W, but as we keep being told they are title contenders, can we evaluate their credentials as such?
But the Hammers were without the talismanic Michail Antonio, such a puncture to their blueprint, and yet still, they threatened United until literally the last kick of the match.

Wood’s perhaps surprisingly eclectic taste in music variously encompasses the Kings of Leon, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra and Howe must trust his formidable aerial presence will bring similar breadth and diversity to a struggling, frequently one-dimensional, Newcastle XI.

erudite challenging of stereotypes, detail-filled encomium to AFCON and why it's a good tournament that gets hideously misrepresented by a lot of media, etc

everything gets hideously misrepresented by the media tbh im kind of over cardigan journalists looking for pats on the head for this angle

sorry imago not stamping on the video i havent clicked on or anything but the saminess of football journalism along guardian football weekly lines seems v forced to me lately is all 😕

awww he's so nice though
everything is well-written, acerbic, detail-focused. he's done some other great videos. guardian journalism it is not, it's got a lot more bite
