My unprompted opinions on football, athletics and anything else that I might want to waffle about
Still definitely good enough to be playing at the top level. Could be important starting for Spain at the World Cup next summer
🚨🔴⚪️ Aymeric Laporte to Athletic Club, deal comfirmed after FIFA approval to the documents with Al Nassr! FIFA accept Athletic reasons and Laporte will play for Bilbao, registered into La Liga and could be also into Champions League squad. Here we go again. ✔️

Got to feel a little bad for Bauer Leverkusen this window. They’ve now lost Wirtz, Alonso, Boniface, Tah, Hradecky, Frimpong and Xhaka. It’s going to have to be one serious rebuild there

I’d seen people writing John Stones off a bit, but he’s absolutely still Englands best centre back when he’s on it

Yeah unfortunately I think this Reijnders guy is going to be really good. Easily a £50m+ player in this market so they got him for a good price too

Am I being too reactionary when I say Ngumoha is a dark horse for England’s World Cup squad next summer??

Put some respect on Wanyonyi that’s an insane run. Put that WR on watch by the time Tokyo comes around

Wow performance of the night so far for Hiltz, took it to the 800 specialists so well and really dominated

Wind looks pretty bad in the stadium, I know it’s early season but those times aren’t blistering. Bodes well for Paulinho for the rest of the season though she looked strong

Pleased to see semi automated offsides are coming in soon. Think it wasn’t offside at the death last night but will be good to speed up that process

Finally getting over the shitshow that was last night, on the whole Everton probably deserved the point but I’m still fuming with how late they got it

Christ that was bad. Every senior player out there was poor. If I’m chiesa, Nunez, Elliot, quansah, or tsimikas and I would be fighting to be in that first team week in week out but they were all embarrassing today, zero effort

I’m sure nyoni is a great prospect but the kid definitely needs to tack on some muscle before he’s ready to play in midfield at the top level

Seriously impressive middle distance running from the Americans at Milrose last night. Excited to watch Fisher, Nuguse and Hocker at gst. Hoey looks like he could be a star as well

My most passionate opinion in athletics is that the mile should replace the 1500 completely. Why was it ever changed they’re the same race except one has cool history
Mile to replace 1500m at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
The Commonwealth Mile is a tribute to Roger Bannister and John Landy’s duel over the distance at the 1954 Games in Vancouver.
