Yes, it is performative but videos from Portsmouth v Charlton showed joy, humiliation and existential doubt better than any highlight reel ever could I received a wonderful message from Bob in Kent while hosting the afternoon show on TalkSport on New Year’s Eve. “Can’t believe you’re still employing Max Rushden,” it read. “He’s so tedious. I still won’t listen while he’s on. If you rate him, put him on with Simon Jordan, then you’ll see his intellect. Is he cheap? Is that it? Please explain to me, why? Bob, Kent.” Season’s greetings to you too, Bob. I’ve had worse. Bob’s just curious. The truth is that not everything is for everyone, certainly I am not for Bob in Kent. The hope is that, as a broadcaster, you are at least bearable for a reasonable proportion of the audience, and on a good day even enjoyable to some. Continue reading...

(Blue Blood International/Cooking Vinyl) The four-piece try to tap into modern pop’s deep well of nostalgia but come off like Westlife on a bad day ‘Blue’s in the house / Oh it’s party time!” muse the fortysomething man-band on Souls of the Underground, the penultimate song on this seventh album, and the fourth since their 2011 reunion. The British four-piece are keen to take us back to their early 00s heyday, a time of Met bar table service, where the ladies have “a little prosecco” and the guys have a “nice cold beer”. Musically, it’s a clunkier approximation of their (comparatively) harder-edged hybrid of pop, hip-hop and R&B; think 2002 “low ride” anthem Fly By II but on a Megabus budget. It makes sense that they would want to tap into modern pop’s deep well of nostalgia, but rather than recalling what made Blue originally stand out, Reflections often feels like a tribute to other evergreen boybands. For most of the album’s 13 tracks, the tempo is mid, with the dreary, Westlife-on-a-bad-day Candlelight Fades a particular nadir. The windswept One Last Time and The Day the Earth Stood Still are attacked with gusto, but both feel like Patience-era Take That, while the pleasingly epic opener The Vow is hindered by very un-Barlow lyrics: “You’re a sweet child of mine / You’re like a grape to my vine.” Continue reading...

England defender publicly confronted racist abuse at the Euros and ended 2025 a title winner with club and country The Guardian Footballer of the Year is an award given to a player who has done something remarkable, whether by overcoming adversity, helping others or setting a sporting example by acting with exceptional honesty. Jess Carter has spent her life grappling with when to hold back and when to speak up; wrestling with being naturally herself, embodying the characteristics her parents instilled in her of being open, honest, vocal and confident, and subduing herself because, while society values those traits, in a black woman they can be viewed negatively.

Spare me the hugging, kissing, sitting on each other’s laps. What’s the excuse so close to breakfast? First and foremost, let me say: I love love. I’m in love – I’m happily married with two boys. I’m surrounded by love, because most of my friends and family are in long-term relationships and have kids of their own. Heck, I even love it when strangers find love. Since its inception, I have watched every episode of Pop the Balloon or Find Love – a US reality dating show hosted by Arlette Amuli. While it’s entertaining observing how treacherous the dating market is, I’m more thrilled when two people match and commence their own love journey. However, for all my appreciation of love, public displays of affection (PDAs) on the morning commute should be punishable by prison. I’m talking hugging, kissing, even sitting on each other’s laps – all of the above are abominable to watch. In my dictatorship, those who committed such crimes would be locked up without due process. The British tonguing police (BTP) would ensure that perpetrators were swiftly caught. They would not pass go, they would not collect £200. They would go directly to jail.

Football provided direction, belonging, purpose and validation. Letting go of that has meant confronting the void left behind Accepting retirement from professional football has felt like stepping into a landscape shaped by loss and uncertainty. Even when the decision is rational, even when the body is signalling that it’s time, there is something profoundly emotional about acknowledging that an era of your life has ended. To me, it felt very much like grief. The shock, sadness, anger, confusion and numbness mirror the emotional responses that accompany any major loss I’ve experienced. But instead of mourning the loss of a loved one, you are mourning the loss of a part of you – a big part. For years football provided direction, belonging, inspiration, purpose and validation. A sense of being part of something bigger. Continue reading...

We picked our top 100 and now our readers have selected their favourites from men’s series down the years With the emphasis on favourite rather than best, Jonny Bairstow. The Ashes sums up the ups and downs of his England career, starting with the 2013 series when he sacrificed his natural game to hang in there with Ian Bell.

Robyn Thomson immunised thousands of animals in Cambodia after shocking death of her mother this summer It was just a scratch. Among all the feelings and thoughts that she has had to wrestle with since the summer, disbelief is the emotion that Robyn Thomson still struggles with the most. “You never think it would happen to you,” said Robyn. “You don’t really think it happens to anyone.” Robyn’s mother, Yvonne Ford, had shown no signs of illness in the months after returning from her holiday in Morocco in February. She had spoken highly of the country and its people, and recommended it for future getaways. She had not realised that a seemingly harmless interaction with a puppy while sitting in the sun would cause so much damage. Continue reading...

The Norwegian, 35, overcame elite fields despite time forfeits after knocking over pieces in critical games The world No 1, Magnus Carlsen, recovered from a series of mishaps to win both the World Rapid and Blitz crowns at Doha, Qatar, last weekend. The global victories were the 19th and 20th of the Norwegian’s illustrious career and may give him the edge in the longstanding debate on whether he, Garry Kasparov, or Bobby Fischer is chess’s all-time greatest master. Peerless endgame technique was central to the 35-year-old Norwegian’s blitz success. He won a knight ending with Black against Nodirbek Abdusattorov from a position which elite grandmasters would normally have instantly agreed to halve, and also scored in other endings of extraordinary subtlety. Continue reading...

Il premier rinnova l’impegno affinché la pace torni presto a Est e in Medio Oriente. La sera del 31 dicembre il premier, Giorgia Meloni, ha telefonato al presidente della Repubblica, Sergio Mattarella, per esprimere l’apprezzamento suo e del governo per il discorso di fine anno rivolto agli italiani. Meloni si è soffermata in particolare sul richiamo all’80° anniversario della Repubblica: «L’Italia si presenta a questo appuntamento forte dell’autorevolezza, della credibilità e del rispetto che le vengono riconosciuti a livello globale e che sono il frutto del dinamismo, del coraggio e del sacrificio di generazioni di italiani. Una nazione orgogliosa della propria storia, forgiata nei successi e nelle difficoltà, che possiede gli strumenti e l’opportunità per guardare al futuro con ottimismo e speranza». Nel corso della telefonata, a proposito dei richiami alla pace del presidente, Meloni ha ribadito che l’Italia continuerà a fare tutto ciò che è possibile, ad ogni livello, affinché la pace possa al più presto tornare in Ucraina, in Medio Oriente e in tutte le aree del mondo dove la guerra ha preso il sopravvento.
