Ruud van Nistelrooy visited Leicester's state-of-the-art training ground for the first time on Saturday morning, and had a meeting with caretaker boss Ben Dawson. The summit was booked in before the Foxes were despatched by Brentford, a match Dawson prepared for without any real input from Van Nistelrooy, with whom he exchanged a few brief messages at most. So Saturday's catch-up will have been a first chance for Van Nistelrooy to get the lowdown on what's going wrong with Leicester right now.

Sorry, Ruud, it’s too late to back out now. The contract’s signed, you’ve posed for photos, said the usual platitudes about being excited for the challenge ahead. If it wasn’t already dawning on you that managing this Leicester City side to safety might be a different kettle of fish to riding the crest of a wave with Manchester United for a few games, then it certainly will be now. That’s if managing Leicester to safety is indeed their new boss Ruud van Nistelrooy’s remit.

Should Harry Kane find himself striding towards the penalty spot in an England shirt again this summer, with ball in hand, demons to banish and the hopes of a nation resting upon him, then at least he will do so in the knowledge that somebody has been there before. That somebody was Stuart Pearce, and that walk was one he had to make at Euro 96. Six years after Italia 90. Six years after shootout heartbreak on the biggest stage of all. Fight or flight, do or die. In front of 75,000 at Wembley.

The blinking cursor taunted me as I stared at the blank page. My hands were clammy on the keyboard. Despite all the ideas swirling in my head, I couldn't type a single word. For years, I dreamed of making a living through the written word. But every time I tried to put pen to paper (or fingers to keys), I froze. A voice of doubt screamed, "You're not good enough! No one will read your garbage!"I watched from the sidelines as others achieved success.

He doesn't really look like an elite footballer, the spindly 20-year-old from Blackburn who is a few straggly facial hairs away from passing for someone seven years younger. But my word he plays like one. Passing, by the way, is something Adam Wharton does bloody well. Like most things actually - though growing a beard isn't one of them. 'He looks older now because he has a beard,' said Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner on Saturday, after baby-faced Wharton stole the show in a 1-1 draw at Fulham.

Leeds had boss Daniel Farke to thank after keeping their unbeaten record for 2024 in tact, and their promotion push on track, with a late equaliser from supersub Mateo Joseph on Friday night. Farke's men had been relentless in winning 12 out of their 13 league games this calendar year, but looked on course for a first defeat since December at the hands of a resurgent Watford.

Sir Keir Starmer has called on Nike to change the colour of the St George’s Cross on a new England football shirt to traditional red amid mounting fury over its design. The Labour leader said he believed the flag was a ‘unifier’ and insisted the American sportswear company should ‘reconsider’ the controversial decision to modify it.

Nike's ‘playful’ England kit vows to ‘disrupt history’. That might not be saying much, as for most of England’s 152-year history they have had similarly demure, plain white kits. When England faced Scotland in Glasgow in 1872, they wore a white jersey featuring the Three Lions crest and a diamond pattern, and long, white knickerbockers. Though players’ shorts today are, well, shorter, a tradition and an iconic kit were established.
