It's easy to put Kanté's extraordinary ability to pop up everywhere on the pitch down to his stamina and 'energy'- when, in fact, it is because he reads the game better than almost everyone else. He not 'everywhere' - he's in the right place, almost all of the time.

The focus will be on Newcastle; but the reason why this vote failed is not because the Saudis are exerting undue influence on some PL clubs. It's because the PL clubs who opposed the notion have every intention of using multi-club ownership for their own benefit in the future.

As a two-thirds majority is required for decisions of that kind in the Premier League, Newcastle will be able to take players from PIF-owned clubs if they so wish.

I'm starting to see journalists fully espousing the 'you know, autocracy, migrant workers, LGBT people, women, yes, of course, but I've been in a Qatar hotel for a few days and, frankly, it isn't as bad as people said' line; Russia 2018 revisited, in other words.

I've loved 'The Queen's Gambit' for many reasons, one of which - the most important to me - being that it 'got' the romance of the Soviet game just right in its final episode. A shortish thread about what it was to be a chess fan growing up when the USSR ruled over 64 squares.

Sky thought it fit to apologise for the 'stereotyping' of 'Latin' football in its coverage. If the apology were needed, it should have been left to Souness to present it. This kind of public disowning/humiliation doesn't sit well with me at all.

I've just read another thread by a journalist talking about a - mostly positive - experience of Qatar 2022 and marvel, if that's the word, at the ability of people to blank out completely what is outside of their own personal, self-centered, quasi-solipsistic experience.

I'm told that a few accounts are putting out on Twitter purported print-outs of the 2021 Ballon d'Or ranking. Note to all concerned: these are *all* fakes, for the simple reason that we, @francefootball , have never, ever, printed any before the 'reveal', even for internal use.

He lost; but, given the obstacles he had to overcome, he's probably had the finest tournament of his career, consistently making the right choices, showing imagination and daring alongside more traditional traits. Happy to eat humble pie, as it's rarely tasted so sweet.

It is totally irresponsible to spread out news that van Dijk is out for 7-8 months on the back of one single report and absolutely zero confirmation from the club. The injury is 'not good'. It might be that serious. We don't know. So we should all shut up about it until we do.
