Compassionate, competitive, Polish league obsessive: the real Bruno Fernandes. What would Manchester United have been without him these last 6 years? Always produces, always provides and when you meet him you understand why he's their leader. thetimes.com/article/338289…

Ten years ago Leicester players were waking, fuzzy-headed, after Vardy's party. As Premier League winners. Catching up with them underlined how they pulled off the miracle. Remarkable people. Their lives have had highs and lows but none live in the past. thetimes.com/article/15cfaf…

🏆 Ten years on, I went in search of Leicester’s 5,000-1 title heroes Most extraordinary Premier League winners in history have taken diverse paths since achieving the impossible on May 2, 2016. What became of the miracle men? ✍️ @JNorthcroft thetimes.com/sport/football…

Something different this week. I met Farai Hallam, one of the best young referees in England - the ref who refused to bow to VAR on his Premier League debut. Has a wonderfully balanced view of the world and is an ex player with quite a back story. thetimes.com/article/21288f…

Down with a whimper. The place was so flat tonight, so forlorn that what happened 10 years ago seems even more surreal than it did at the time. Feel for fans and the many lovely people who work at the club. The way it is run has to change. Yes you really can squander a miracle.

I interviewed Lando Norris and the world champion was open, honest and articulate. And then his management stepped in to police and muzzle him in an attempt to "control the narrative." From then on it did not go too well....this is what happened. theguardian.com/sport/2026/apr…

Loved Cherki's quote to France Football about his mission on the pitch. "I'd like to say 'robots are good but magic is better'"

Man C v Arsenal: lot of the usual on here about tactics, positioning, pressing strategies etc. All valid. But the game also hinged on players. Who they are. What they did in moments. Cherki genius, Donna gift, Haaland bettering Gabriel. The human side is as key as the chess.
