I felt absurd pride yesterday watching Ebere Eze, a footballer I have never met who plays for a team I don't support. Piece from Wembley, which is free to read all day

Despite being so digital I'm mostly binary code, I would like to recommend our newspaper today. Well worth your time and ยฃ1.80, it's a fantastic read, beautifully put together.
I have been fascinated by Apollo since I was a kid, so it has been a pleasure to write this longread for

end-of-term reports. Amos and Chair sections here are outstanding. Said it before, will say again - not many clubs have a Clive - writing about QPR with such care, detail and humour. We are lucky to have him covering our team.
Base layers have been bugging me for a while. What happened to true long-sleeved football shirts? To find out I spoke to

An apology from me: I'm sorry. I had a look for any evidence of them together but found nothing, thanks for pointing it out. Will get the article changed.
The world needs another re-telling of the Beatles story like parents need another four months of homeschooling, so I've tried to approach John Lennon differently in this piece. He would have been 80 tomorrow. This is free to read until then:

My prosaic childhood impulses led me to stick this advert on my wall. 30 years on, I tried to track down all 22 players. Backed myself to deliver at least Andy Sinton. Was less optimistic about Hollywood's Vinnie Jones. And whoโs that in the Coventry kit?

After some thought and comments here and other forums, having watched the emotional Sinclair Armstrong interview with Nick London, I contacted him asking if he might like to have the shirt back as a momento of his special day.

Been looking forward to this day for months. Iโm going to try to make it to four World Cup games in a day. Why not follow my progress with Twitterโs wonderful follow or hashtag functionalities?

A longish read by me about the misunderstood millennium bug, and why it's annoying when people use it as a synonym for over-reaction. The problem was real, the work done to solve it was good, the media were quite naughty:
