England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.

The Telegraph has deleted, without fanfare, the word ‘living’ from the headline of Stephen Daisley's article on Professor Arday. Today, it just reads “Jason Arday is proof that you reap what you sow.”

One of the things I've always enjoyed about Japanese football is how they insist on playing even if the pitch is completely waterlogged. Just look at the state of this 😂 youtu.be/yri8Oz54GTQ?...

While I appreciate Oxford City Council's attempts to reduce traffic congestion and encourage public transport usage, I do wish they'd prioritised carrot over stick. Public transport is still too expensive and not good enough to meet everyone's needs www.itv.com/news/meridia...

I was relatively sanguine after relegation from the Championship but events since have left me really concerned. I'm yet to see any evidence that our new Indonesia-based chairman has any understanding of League One football and the appointment of Ramsey pours further fuel in that fire #oufc
