Just finished watching Ann Droid. A weird, wonderful, beautiful and brilliant love story. And if Diane Morgan doesn’t win a BAFTA off the back of it, there really is no justice in this world.

Great one-mile final at the Commonwealth Games, and that kick by Josh Kerr … bloody hell. The epitome of cruise control.

This is an article that’s garnered a lot of attention on @sport.theguardian.com today and no surprise really given the topic … … It’s totally fine to switch your football team, writes Luke McLaughlin. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Have you ever switched allegiance as a football fan? You are not alone | Luke McLaughlinIf professional athletes can represent more than one country, let alone multiple clubs, why shouldn’t fans change teams?www.theguardian.com

A week that began with a ridiculous Instagram rant and ended with a grand plan to become even more rich and make global football even more rotten sink to the point of collapse. Well done, Gianni, you’ve had a blinder. Now seriously, go do one. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Fifa scraps proposal to sell off stakes in World Cup after widespread backlashGianni ⁠Infantino has said Fifa ​has scrapped plans to ⁠sell a stake in the World ⁠Cup to private ​investors ‌after widespread ‌backlashwww.theguardian.com

“The memory of him will always be in the red-and-black shirt, the defining image of Italy’s new era of defending” @jonawils.bsky.social pays tribute to the late, majestic Franco Baresi. For @sport.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Franco Baresi was not only the captain but the moral heart of great Milan teamThe centre-back, who has died aged 66, defined an era of hard Italian defending and his collection of honours is eternal proof of his classwww.theguardian.com

Sepp Blatter was corrupt as fuck but, unless I’m mistaken, his whole thing was making as much money from football as it existed. Gianni Infantino is obsessed with changing it and fundamentally ruining it. Increasingly convinced that he doesn’t, and never has, actually like the sport.

Gianni Infantino’s position is untenable now. But, of course, he’s actually going nowhere.

AC Milan announce the passing of a legend.

Any word yet from this standard-bearer for football’s high moral code?

“The irony of his Newcastle tenure is that a manager obsessed with off-field control came undone partly by its absence on the pitch” Louise Taylor on how, why and pretty much when it went wrong for Eddie Howe. For @sport.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Not so black and white: how Eddie Howe lost control at Newcastle in one summerEverything was looking rosy for Howe at St James’ Park until Alexander Isak’s departure led to rushed signings and a messy seasonwww.theguardian.com

UEFA go nuclear over Gianni’s big World Cup sell-off. Good. www.uefa.com/news-media/n...

Harvey Elliott is back at Liverpool and has no regrets about his time at Aston Villa. Honest. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Harvey Elliott revels in ‘second chance’ at Liverpool and has no regrets over Aston Villa loanHarvey Elliott believes he has been given “a second chance” at Liverpool and denied his ill-fated loan to Aston Villa was a lost year in his careerwww.theguardian.com

This is wild, but also not that surprising given how much of a departure Newcastle’s transfer policy this summer has been to last, when Howe was running the show. He’s clearly pissed off & had enough. To walk this close to the start of the season though … yikes. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Eddie Howe to leave Newcastle United after almost five years in chargeEddie Howe is to part company with Newcastle United after almost five years in charge, following a 4-1 friendly defeat to Bristol Citywww.theguardian.com

Just watched Obsession. Legitimately the funniest move I’ve seen since The Hangover.
