There are places I’ll remember……20 years ago today in Istanbul Ket Thiru & Chris Stirrup stood somewhere in this heaving mass of bewildered joy & emotion having seen the greatest football match of all time. Today, we’ll go & watch this team lift the Premier League title.

And the sun shines now. The absolute days of our lives. Twenty years ago today I was enjoying the greatest night of my life in Istanbul watching us win the Champions League. And then that today. I was 16 when we last won the title in front of fans. And I’m 51 now. Truly wonderful

Didn’t see I’m Still Here at the cinema but caught up with it today. Without question one of the best & most powerful films I’ve seen in years. Just stunning. And Fernanda Torres is breathtaking in the lead role. It’s the sort of thing that’ll stay with you for weeks afterwards.

I don’t know a lot about country music - beyond a bit of Dolly and a lot of early Sheryl Crow - but just spent the last couple of hours in the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville & I can’t think of a much better Super Bowl half time show than Dolly Parton. Make it happen NFL

What I like about the detail in David’s piece is that it says: “Wirtz has already visited the north west of England to look for houses to live in.” And you don’t do too much of that if you’re not confident of it happening.

Just spent the last couple of hours in the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. Built around the Lorraine Motel where Dr King was murdered, it was of the most powerful & moving experiences of my life. Thankful for the education of friends like Ricky L. Jones & L E F T, PhD ⚫️

Went to Death Valley today to see Tiger Stadium. I’ve followed college football very closely for 40+ years and never knew they kept an actual tiger opposite the stadium. It was 97 degrees for ‘Mike’ today.
