Still cannot believe Diogo Jota is gone. It's hard to find the words to describe it all, but I tried my best.

A tribute to Diogo Jota, who died on Thursday following a car accident. The Liverpool star got married just 11 days before he and his brother were killed.

England are one of the worst watches in football. But it brings me no pleasure to inform you that they have two things going for them that could see them bring it home. 😳

England have been one of the worst teams to watch at Euro 2024 - and that is unlikely to change as the knockouts get underway. God bless you if you imagined to watch all three of their group games and not want to jump off a bridge. Group C bore witness to maybe one of the worst collections of teams....

Man City's squad will be outrageously good if they buy Kane as well as Grealish, but I'm fascinated as to how the balance of the team will be affected - and whether it will put too much pressure on Rodri.

Racism in football goes beyond Millwall. Take your pick of any online fan forum or number of Twitter accounts or Facebook groups over the weekend, and the discourse was likely a vile cesspit of racist idiots defending fans of a club they don't even support for reasons that don't hold any water. The game has been passive for far too long - these 'fans' cannot be welcomed back.

English football's racism problem goes deeper than Millwall following the Millwall fans booing the players kneeling before their EFL match with Derby County.

Listen to me talk as if I actually know something about FPL.

Captaincy, differentials and transfers galore.
