I’m at quite a new international airport (a capital city). An anyone name it?

George is the gold standard of local sports journalism.

I am going to address this. The way I have done my job has been consistent for 30+ yrs. I try to find out what’s happening & explain. The only way to do that is by speaking to people & attempting to build relationships. On occasion those relationships get blurred ... I loved Sir Bobby for instance.

Bowie has spent the whole day trying to hump my mother in law’s dog and now he’s absolutely spent.

I’m developing a Close Season Hibernation™ pill , £35 quid a pop, you swallow it after the lads have done their lap of honour and you wake up, cheerful and oblivious to whatever horrors have occurred over the summer, on the Big Kick Off day. Who’s in? #nufc

Isak, Bruno, Gordon, Livramento, Hall and now even Joelinton - all have one thing in common. They are now all proven Champions League players and internationals, which means they can all get paid a great deal more than we can afford. That’s why they are/were unhappy - the rest is just noise. #nufc

Infantino’s proposed sale of the World Cup is one of those dreadful moments when you have to stop and wonder at how cynical, venal and utterly shameless a person can be.

Where are the emergency podcasts where you need them #nufc

At the British Museum with the kids. It’s mainly the same stuff as when I was a kid. What a swizz.

Some people drift through life. Kevin Keegan attacked it from the first whistle. He seemed to grasp its urgency from day one, and lived accordingly—with passion, courage and principle. A life magnificently lived, and a man loved and admired by generations. Rest in peace.

Tuchel was born to manage #nufc

It’s almost like France are indifferent to whether they finish 3rd or 4th, the cretins

WE ARE NUMBER 3, SAY WE ARE NUMBER 3

There’s always the consolation of the prestigious 3rd / 4th place play off to look forward to, said no one ever.

Been sitting here wondering why I felt so unmoved by being 1-0 up only to make all the wrong tactical choices and ship two goals in the last ten minutes. Then i remembered that I’m a #nufc fan.

England are probably the fourth best team in the world, tbf

Gordon off the boil tonight

In many ways this #fraspa result is just deserts to the French person who decided not to show the England v Mexico match on a free-to-air French TV when I was on holiday so that I had to listen to it through a VPN on f*cking talksport.

Let’s see if I can stay awake for Switzerland v Argent

As a Brit married to a Norwegian I should just like to say: COOOOOOME OOOOOON

Very, very lucky to win that - Bellingham must be in the top four players in the world.

Stones needs to come off.

#nufc will continue to lose their best players every year until the day arrives that the club is able to pay them exactly what they can command elsewhere. That’s not disloyalty or lack of faith by players: it’s an empirically iron-clad rule law of labour market economics.

My decision to skip Egypt v Argentina in favour of Colombia v Switzerland is reminiscent of most of my life choices to date.

I hope plucky Belgium absolutely humiliate the USA tonight.

Delighted for Norway but as an Anglo-Norwegian household that could make things particularly awkward for the quarter-finals.

Took this picture of radiation-warning Jesus at the Louvre today

This is absolute shite and everyone in the England squad other than the obviously blameless BDB should be put to death.

On reflection, watching this match in an entirely French bar in Paris as a mistake

Gordon on pls

Never change, Wissa
