1/ In July 2015, my world fell apart. I was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy. Alone, far from friends and family, I faced a condition I’d never even heard of — terrified my face might never recover. It was one of the scariest periods of my life.

Probably the best individual performance I’ve seen all season; Michael Olise. His detail-oriented Kevin De Bruyne-esque mentality. Kompany’s words, not mine nytimes.com/athletic/71057…

🦅 Why did Palace pursue Strand Larsen? 🦅 What happened with Mateta? 🦅 Johnson and the lull after early record-breaking business 🦅 McNeil, midfielders and centre-halves 🦅 Are Palace stronger now than they were on December 31? Crystal Palace broke their transfer record twice in a chaotic winter window, but will Oliver Glasner be appeased? 📝 @MattWoosie 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/70138…

Antoine Semenyo took out a full-page advert in the local newspaper to thank Bournemouth fans. Sergio Aguero gifted watches to more than 60 members of Manchester City staff and raffled off his Range Rover. But player exits do not always go well. From PR-crafted texts to the team WhatsApp group and careful message management to the fanbase... what's the right way to leave a football club? 📝 @GregOK 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/69937…

One More Point: Crystal Palace Fanzine (1993-2022)
More similarities with 1991-92 🔴Beat Liverpool regularly (4/5 across 90-92) 🔵Goalie and CM in England squads 🔴Fixture pile up in December 🔵Atmosphere at Selhurst dropping compared to previous 🔴Always losing to Arsenal 🔵 Forest being a nuisance It's honestly uncanny 🤪

The Championship is as deliciously unpredictable as ever with umpteen clubs looking up with hope and almost as many looking down with dread. What makes this such a special league? And what do two Championship stalwarts make of this season's battles? ⬇️ nytimes.com/athletic/70012…

At his worst, Omar Bogle was taking 18 or 19 sleeping pills every night. “It was just crazy, my usage was ridiculous. I was completely blacked out, I’d wake up and I wouldn’t even remember the conversations that I’d had with people the night before." Bogle is not an isolated example — one expert warns that “most clubs have got at least three or four people who are taking sleeping pills on a regular basis.” @TBurrows16 on football’s sleeping pills problem. 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/69852…

🚨🚨🚨Some personal news 🚨🚨🚨 After 25 years, 24 of them covering @ManUtd and @ManCity, I’m leaving @DailyMirror and @MirrorFootball I’ve been privileged to cover more than 1,000 games in @premierleague, @ChampionsLeague @EuropaLeague @EmiratesFACup and @Carabao_Cup as well as reporting on six @FIFAWorldCup and three @UEFAEURO tournaments, not to mention earning at least half a dozen bans from Sir Alex Ferguson! It’s been an honour to work with so many talented and loyal colleagues, past and present, many of whom have become great friends. As one door closes, another one opens, and I’m excited to explore new professional opportunities. Thanks to everyone who has supported me and read my work over the past quarter of a century - even the haters and the trolls! Below is my final column for @MirrorFootball Cheers everyone - it’s been a blast! mirror.co.uk/sport/football…
