50 caps, 50 wins, 53 tries. The incredible stats of Jess Breach as England overcome a tricky start to beat Australia. My report from the Women's Rugby World Cup... observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…
The most glaring proof yet that wealthy footballers (and sportspeople generally) need help to take control of their own financial affairs... The 'V11' story was an avoidable tragedy. My column...

England 47 Australia 7 may sound like another landslide in the Rugby World Cup. But it was a fierce contest and a fine advertisement for the women's game. Quarter-finals for both next.
In Episode 2 of a three-part 'How It All Played Out' special on the 1936 Nazi Olympics... - How the Berlin Games are still visible in the modern Olympics - Why the world fell for Hitler's propaganda - What Jesse Owens faced in Germany - and in America. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/how…
So much of the Olympic Games we see today can be traced to the Nazi Olympics of 1936. The first in a 'How it All Played Out' three part-special on the Berlin Games, by me and @markpougatch for Global... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/how…

Max Dowman and Rio Ngumoha are products of the "development by design" ethos in Premier League academies. A piece on why even 15 and 16 year olds look so ready when they get their chance. observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…
There’s Only One Rob Burrow is more than a documentary—it’s a legacy of friendship, love, courage, & resilience. Let’s honour Rob’s incredible fight & continue raising awareness of MND 🗳 Vote here for free ➡️nationaltvawards.com ❤️ Every vote helps. For Rob. For MND. For Hope
Thanks for the responses to this. As many have pointed out it goes beyond football and sports writing. The capitulation to 'content' and hits is turning writing itself into a 'cost burden,' an anachronism. Scrutiny and objectivity will suffer. observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…
However hallowed Goodison Park is/was, those aerial shots of Everton's new ground and the sweep of it inside are undeniably thrilling.
Eze's 'homecoming,' a 5-0 win, two for Gyokeres, a 15-year-old debutant and a hard road home for Leeds. A piece from Arsenal today... observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…
Football journalism, how 'match reports' have evolved and why writing needs defending against metrics and 'content.' My commentary for @ObserverUK observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…
Do please watch. The fight against MND goes on....

Hope Thomas Tuchel wakes up to how good Morgan Gibbs-White is. It would be a travesty to keep him on the margins.
When the curtain rose, Alexander Isak wasn't there. My piece from Villa Park on Newcastle's striking striker. observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…
Arsenal fans must be encouraged by this bench. A lot of players here who can affect games. Arteta will have to disappoint several this season with each team selection.
