Morning. @NorwichCityFC have made an ideal choice in Dean Smith as their new manager. A builder, teacher, innovator and, as anyone who has read of his compassion towards Martin Ling in the opening chapter of Living on the Volcano, a thoroughly decent human being.

This is now more than a football match. It’s a test of football’s resolve to start dealing properly with racism.

Today has been depressing. A criminally incompetent liar lying to the Covid inquiry. A racist playing the victim card in parliament. A lawless government. Then consider goodness, kindness, humanity and humility in the shape of Kevin Sinfield. Hero.

I got to know Gareth’s parents well when writing and researching ‘Proud’. Warm, welcoming people. I disown lowlife disgracing my profession.

Morning. A reminder : this isn't war by another means. It's not a demonstration of cultural purity, or an excuse to wrap history in a flag. It's not about fear and loathing. Enjoy England v Germany for what it is, an intriguing football match between two transitional teams.

Does anyone else think that your Stalinist thought-speak in which reasoned debate is misrepresented as sabotage is morally repugnant? I do.
