“It reminds us that, alongside Daft Punk and Rod Hull’s Emu, Abramovich is one of the very few figures from our post-war culture who is instantly recognisable without ever having uttered a single word in public”. Superb stuff as ever from @wsc.co.uk!

It’s the new @wsc.co.uk ! In which I argue how timewasting at corners could be eased by getting rid of corner flags.
The front cover of the new issue of When Saturday Comes magazine, in which two Aston Villa players are depicted, with a speech bubble from one saying: “I can see another one leaving.”

A double dose of me in issue 467 of @wsc.co.uk, which is on sale now. I’m in the main mag reviewing UEFA’s summer fortnight in North Wales for the Euro Under 19s finals. And I’m in the 2026-27 season preview pull-out taking a wild stab at #DRFC’s fortunes.
The front cover of issue 467 of When Saturday Comes magazine, their ‘new season special’ An article from inside issue 467 of When Saturday Comes magazine about the 2026 UEFA Under 19s Championship which took place in North Wales. Most of the article is blurred out, but the byline ‘Glen Wilson’ is visible.
