@SamLee I know this might not be something you typically do but a quick RT for this latest fundraising t-shirt would be great. ALL profits will be going to @MCFCfoodbank clubmerchandise.org/pep-guardiola-… Created by an autistic artist, Ryan.

De Bruyne is not worth the money being spoken about! Flopped at Chelsea and pretty sure he will flop at Man City too.

Just when I was getting my head back together I watch this and I’m a mess all over again! Cheers City! 😭 🩵

Please forgive the first-personedness of this but I’ve written about covering Guardiola ‘close up from a distance’ for 10 years nytimes.com/athletic/73052…

Happy 32nd birthday to JOHNNY STONES! 🥰🩵

For my last Did You Notice? column of the season, I stepped back and took a big picture view of things... ...because Did You Notice that the Premier League has changed? Oh and as a treat, I've made this one free to read. Enjoy! nytimes.com/athletic/73089…

Privatised water is such an obvious scam that it's achieved the impossible: getting 82% of Brits to agree on something. The only issue to score higher was the public’s desire for Tony Blair to stick to retirement.

Before I joined the club, Pep was already an inspiration for me. To become his player and after 9 years end up being the one with most games played under him is truly an honour. He arrived at Man City, and the Premier League couldn’t be dominated playing his way… Well, they were wrong. Not only he dominated, he changed the game in England as he did in other countries before. The hunger and ambition to want more and more even after winning and winning again was a big inspiration. For me personally, he was and will always be my father of football. A lot of the things that many managers in the past thought were weaknesses of my game, he saw it as strengths and understood me from day one. On a personal level, the kindness, trust and respect that we had for each other makes me the proudest and goes beyond football. I couldn’t be more grateful for what he did for me and my family. Thank you for all the memories and experiences to the greatest manager ever Pep Guardiola! 😄

🚨HOLY SHIT! Trump just confused Iran with VENEZUELA on live TV. This is far more than just a gaffe. This is an alarming moment of cognitive decline. Just last Friday, he mixed up Iran with Taiwan. TRUMP IS TOTALLY CONFUSED.

This week, I prepared a special letter addressed to the President of the United States and to Congress. And yesterday, the letter was officially delivered to the institutions in Washington. It is quite rare for the leader of another state to address both the President and Congress of the United States simultaneously with a letter. But the situation now requires action, swift and effective action. It is important that America hear Ukraine. We understand that much of the world’s attention is currently focused on the war in Iran. But the war here in Europe must also be brought to an end – a very bloody war that is already in its fifth year at full scale. The sooner we are able to provide greater protection against ballistic threats, the sooner we will be able to make diplomacy work. As long as Russia continues to rely on missiles, its interest in diplomacy is not real. We must correct this. And we can do so only together with America. Ukraine is grateful to America for all its support. And Ukraine will be even more grateful for a dignified peace and guaranteed security. All of this is possible – if there is sufficient determination.

Israel is now carpet bombing Tyre in South Lebanon — deliberately striking homes, neighborhoods, and civilian infrastructure. A 5,000-year-old city is being wiped out before the eyes of the world. And not a peep from the complicit international community, of course.

As if we couldn’t love @BernardoCSilva anymore. On Sunday he signed a top for my dad! Archie has supported City for 65 years and barely misses a game home or away, but is currently in hospital! A massive thank you from us both. Obrigado Bernie!
