The power of the Champions League has always been its ability to create collective memories: Redondo at Old Trafford, Messi sitting down Boateng, Valverde’s third last week. But as the media landscape splinters, can we still have shared experiences? observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…

I hadn’t seen a muddy Premier League goalkeeper for years until a few weeks ago. Or a muddy Premier League goalmouth. Both are back, though, because it’s been raining so much that even the PL’s amazing groundstaff are sick of it. observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…

@RorySmith Hi Rory! Just tried emailing you at your NYT email address but got a bounce back because "because the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail." Best way to reach you? :)

Oh, I'm not supposed to value the Carabao? In English, 'Carabao,' if you split the word, it's Care About. And that's what we're doing here. We're caring about.

Look, despite my better judgement, I listened on, and within minutes @MiguelDelaney restored my faith in football journalism by correcting @RorySmith’s historical faux pas. He knows his history. He knows his audience. Listen, fair play.

Hey, @RorySmith, when @JackPittBrooke said your 1st attempt at the opening joke on @podcast_libero was “too edgy”, what he meant was “completely wrong”. Friedrich Paulus was the German commander @ Stalingrad, not Leningrad! Frankly, don’t know if I can enjoy the pod anymore.
