“On Wednesday, I received a message from a medical professional, Sadi, in response to The Athletic’s story that Manchester United are set to sign a deal with Betway for sponsoring the club’s training kit. “Disappointed United have gone with a sports gambling sponsor,” he said. “It’s an addictive disease that afflicts so many. Not a good look in my opinion. Surprised a Tier A brand like United went this route. Oh well.” “The more I spoke to supporters, the more opinions I found about a deeply divisive industry that is everywhere in football.” @AndyMitten on the criticism, scrutiny and debate that has followed news of Manchester United’s proposed sponsorship deal with a gambling firm. nytimes.com/athletic/72621…

Bunny Shaw winning is 100% correct. But 2nd and 3rd? Alessia Russo's been great in all competitions but not outstanding in the WSL. And I absolutely adore Lauren James but she's not been fit for over half the season! How many of the voters actually watch the WSL?
The Football Writers' Association@theofficialfwa

Congratulations to Bunny Shaw for being voted our Women's Footballer of the Year. The @ManCityWomen and Jamaica striker won by a landslide from Alessia Russo, with Lauren James coming in third. It is the second time Bunny has won our award, and FWA Chair @johncrossmirror said: “The standards she has set are remarkable. She is a fabulous person and an outstanding choice and player.” #FOTY2026 Full story here: footballwriters.co.uk/editorial/brun…

There surely has to be serious consequences. Incredible level of detail here by @LukeEdwardsTele
Telegraph Football@TeleFootball

🚨 Telegraph Sport can reveal the full details of the alleged attempt to steal Middlesbrough training-ground secrets ahead of Saturday’s play-off against Southampton: 🔺 The “spy” had professional surveillance equipment, complete with a microphone to record voices and technology to livestream the footage back to someone watching remotely. 🔺 A brief physical confrontation ensued when a member of Middlesbrough’s media team challenged the man, who refused to identify himself and then ran off. 🔺 The man ran into the clubhouse next to the training ground and changed into new clothes from a hidden holdall. @LukeEdwardsTele has the full story: telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

Surely regardless of the level or standard there is always a player you can make a case for being the best.
The Athletic | Football@TheAthleticFC

"Bruno Fernandes winning Footballer of the Year is long overdue recognition for a truly outstanding player. There are legendary No 10s who didn't ever achieve this level of consistency. "But my vote went to… no one. No Premier League footballer this season has been at the requisite standard. The football has not been entertaining enough. The matches have been lacking in the technical quality and individual inspiration we’ve been accustomed to in previous years. "Fernandes deserves his award, but it's a damning indictment of the individual quality in the Premier League that by simply maintaining his typical level he's suddenly the victor by a landslide." 📝 @Zonal_Marking 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/72609…
