There can’t be a single England fan, surely, who truly believes taking the knee is linked to a supposed Marxist movement when footballers have spent a year explaining it isn’t. Any ‘fan’ who boos and then claims that’s the reason is simply ignorant, stupid, or both.

When the players take the knee, to them, it is solely about the issue of racial inequality. Anyone claiming they are booing it for any other reason is imposing their own meaning, that isn't there for the players. It makes it all the more inexplicable.

Re Abramovich: I understand the club is NOT for sale and he remains owner. This was a decision he took to protect club, staff and fans from pariah status CFC could get through the Russian connection. Senior management unchanged, board of trustees won’t be involved with transfers.

Always learning in TV. 20 years of broadcasting and today, live on @BBCBreakfast I learned that you can’t be heard over a bagpiper, even when shouting into a microphone 😬

To think there were some (poor man’s Voldemort) who dared to question Raducanu’s mental strength. Look at the way she is serving. Look at the way she is resisting all pressure at 18, in a grand slam final. Bloody hell. She’s a bonafide star. #raducanu #USOpen2021

Itv sport are doing a fantastic job tonight of telling the main story of the game - the six goals are a side show. Ian Wright, in particular, has been brilliant.
