Went to interview Miron Muslic in Gelsenkirchen and easy to see why the ex-Plymouth boss has taken Schalke to the top of the table. Lot of charisma. “Football is a vampire.” “Pressure is a privilege.” “We don’t want possession.” Really liked doing this one.

Thomas Frank under pressure, understandably. But Spurs were poor last season under Ange. So what are the common denominators?

Lots of Barcelona match squads will include Toni Fernández and Guillermo Fernández this season. The two teenagers are cousins, born less than a month apart. The really weird thing is that not only are the players two fathers brothers, but their two mothers are sisters too.

Historic England have today unveiled a blue plaque at the home of Jack Leslie - the first Black captain of a Football League club (Plymouth Argyle). Leslie was due to be England’s first black player when he was called up in 1925, but was deselected due to his race.

So, United vs Spurs in the Europa League final. Spurs the favourites, IMO, having beaten United 3x already this season with an 8-3 aggregate. And all the pressure on them to win after the manager’s #SecondSeason boasts.
