Key events
This what you’ve all woken up for … what latest offerings. I’ve had dozens of emails asking what I’ve been up to recently, so here we are. Reading all this should take up through to lunch.
Yesterday I ticked off a new ground for me, travelling to watch what is starting to feel like the end of Harrogate Town’s time in the Football League. Never have I seen such a blunt side in the final third.
Six players out on loan in Europe doing well …
With the clocks going forward, it was even more enjoyable to take my family to the airport at 3.45am BST today. If there is any reason to read this blog on a relatively quiet Sunday, it is to see at what time I start hallucinating.
Jonathan Wilson has been taking a look at how the helter skelter nature of the Premier League has made all the players ruddy tired.
John Stones’ fitness record is pretty dreadful but Thomas Tuchel is eager to give him every chance to make his final 26-man squad for the World Cup. David Hytner takes a look at the England head coach’s admiration for the Manchester City defender.
Losing at home to Japan is the the best preparation for the Scotland’s World Cup escapades but it’s good to get these things out the way. Ewan Murray was at Hampden Park.
Preamble
A warm welcome to one and all. I hope everyone has enjoyed the clocks moving forward an hour, just so we get to the top soccer chat as early as possible. We will be having a look at what is coming today and plenty of international stuff to boot.
Scotland lost a friendly against Japan yesterday, while England had a squad refresh, which should keep us all interested.
There was also a fun Saturday in the EFL, which is well worth chatting about if you have any hottakes on Football League matters.
