Visitors whiz up the towers in a speed lift. A Bell Boy recites a building-history in sped-up chipmunk style, no pauses, which ends precisely on that distinctive elevator ping which signals we’ve reached the top. It was some performance, a show, very NYC. I could see his face as the towers went down

#lufc u21s - I know this isn’t likely but on the off-chance you’re the sort of person who’d like to see the melee, it’s in the club app, under ‘videos’, Full Match Replay. Scroll forward to 1 hour 22 minutes on the player.

Good to see da #lufc yoot get a result against some grown ups after their spanking at Borehamwood. Recent hat trick hero Carrick Njinko returned to earth with a straight red for a straight jab during a 22 man melee. Props to GK Rory Mahady for his 70 yard sprint to join in the action.

So how did Real Betis defeat Real Madrid last night? Well, with Marc Roco and Diego Llorente in their XI, how could they not?. Left Junior Firpo on the bench, the piss takers. Even took Llorente off after 39 minutes to give Real a chance #lufc

Wham in China doc well worth a watch on the iplayer. Didn’t know they’d beaten off Queen to get the trip. Audience reaction in Beijing of dancing in their seats saw them ejected. British media who followed the tour were po-faced snides as ever - the golden age of publishing!
