When Tony Adams got together with Caprice Bourret, the dressing room was as stunned by it as everyone else. This was Tony Adams, dating a super model. At first it had all gone well enough. They went out, had weekends away, and he admitted he felt like a king being with one of the most famous women in the world. But after a while Adams knew something was off. The more time they spent together, the more he felt he was getting the show rather than the person. By then he was sober, going to AA meetings four or five times a week, and trying to live a different way. He had started caring less about the surface of things and more about whether there was actually anything underneath them. So he spoke to his therapist James and came to a decision. He had to end it properly. So when he went round to Caprice’s place just off the New King’s Road in Chelsea, he was nervous. He also admitted she looked stunning when she opened the door, which did not exactly make the whole thing easier. For a second he was tempted to say nothing at all and stay the night. He knew he could not do that. “Look, Cap.” “I can’t go on with this. It’s f****** my head up.” “I’m not getting anything back from you.” “I need to put my recovery first. It’s more important than any relationship.” She told him she had strong feelings and thought the relationship was the real thing. That left Adams confused because it was probably the first time in the whole relationship that he felt they had actually been properly intimate. But by then he had already made his mind up. A few weeks later Arsenal had a game against Spurs. Tim Sherwood was speaking to Adams and Lee Dixon and the subject came up. Sherwood looked at Dixon in disbelief and went: “Caprice? Him - Caprice?” Dixon did not waste much time dressing it up. “Yes.” “And he bombed her out.” Sherwood could not believe it. “You f****** idiot, what do you do that for.” Adam’s just shrugged his shoulders.

Jeremy Corbyn must decide. Does he back the UK standing with Ukraine against Russian aggression, or does he align with Trump's isolationist appeasement of Putin? There is no sitting on the fence.

Personally I’ll not sleep tonight in anticipation of Wes Streeting’s hilarious April Fool’s gag. Can’t wait.
