The Observer: Roses... and thorns #TomorrowsPapersToday
How Pep Guardiola has led the retreat from his own religion... My column for @ObserverUK on the end of possession for possession's sake. observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…
An astonishingly good atmosphere here at the Women's Rugby World Cup final between England and Canada. 82,500 at Twickenham. A triumph for women's sport.
As Europe face Trump's America in New York, 'How It All Played Out' returns to the 'War on the Shore' and the 'Battle of Brookline' to trace Ryder Cup golf's journey to the dark side. By me and @markpougatch for @GlobalPlayer podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how…
Paul Hayward retweeted
New episode! 🚨 On June 4 2005 a raucous crowd in Manchester watched Ricky Hatton fight Kostya Tszyu for the IBF Light welterweight title. @markpougatch and @_PaulHayward look at what made Hatton one of the most popular British boxers of all time?

Ricky Hatton, the Mancunian everyman who became world champion Boxer’s popularity spoke of an affinity for the values of relatability and rootedness ✍️ @_PaulHayward bit.ly/46Fq9fY
The mad night in Manchester when Ricky Hatton became the city's gladiator - the face of a culture and a spirit. If only he could have seen at the Man City-Man Utd game how everyone felt about him. My commentary for @ObserverUK observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…
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…
Further to Dowman coming on at Anfield, the most daunting of grounds for visiting teams.
