I've heard Liz Truss in three interviews plugging her book, not least @ChrisMasonBBC's i/v on Newscast, and she's vacuous, deluded and unhinged. She was a woeful Prime Minister who still takes zero responsibility for her calamitous time in Downing Street. Utter charlatan.

How bloody much?! Chelsea spend £75m on agents as wages rise to £404m open.substack.com/pub/sportingin…
The career of Paul Pogba, once the most expensive player in football history, is in ruins. Pogba has been given a four-year ban for doping. How has this happened? ✍️ @sportingintel & @SebSB 🎨 @fennertown
Chelsea spent £75m on agents fees in the last two transfer windows - pretty sure that is a Premier League record. Adds to their financial challenges for this season
Here's the top 20, but there are so many more also mentioned in the piece, which is free, link above and in bio.
Absolutely essential viewing that doesn't sugarcoat Simpson's crimes, but provides a historical context that may have partially contributed to the verdict. A brilliantly told mess.

@sportingintel Seriously impressive . Bravo to your daughter Nick 🙌
@sportingintel I was front row in a tiny cinema, screen fully filling my vision with the vertiginous cliffs. I’d gone in knowing nothing at all other than a friend telling me I HAD to see it. I was convinced he was going to fall, it just seemed so impossibly dangerous.
@sportingintel Topical because of last weekend's race but I love "A Sunday in Hell" on the 1976 Paris-Roubaix cycling
If you want some insane context, this viewership for Iowa-LSU number tops every World Series game in 2023 and all but one NBA Finals game in 2023.

@sportingintel I worked the in cinema business at the time , absolutely huge movie. Have to remember it was pre digital with limited prints in each multiplex , alongside a massive run time per show. This meant it ran in cinemas for months & months to sell out audiences. Very diff to today.
@sportingintel Listened to this today and lots of laugh out loud moments amongst the carnage for Rovers fans
@sportingintel Brilliant piece this I lived over the road from CC Mariners for a year or so, in a beachside town called The Entrance, went to numerous games there, cracking stadium Interesting story from Andy, must check out his book Nice to see an article like this not behind a paywall 🤝🏻
@sportingintel Yep finshsed it last night, as always with shows like this I was choked up at the end of the episode when they showed the real masters of the air. What amazing guys and humble human beings, the best of humanity ❤.
@sportingintel @UWSmag @robbohuyton Thanks, Nick. Feedback to your interview is excellent.
Fantastic interview with @sportingintel in the latest United We Stand. City fans...such a classy bunch. 😐🚮 Keep fighting the good fight, Nick. #115 #Cheats
@sportingintel @HendrickD82 @CerealKillerStu I support LFC but increasingly switch off other PL/ mid table matches, in favour of the Championship. Watching that has persuaded me they we need to get rid of all of it except goal-lines and semi-automated offside. For the reasons Dave said.
@sportingintel As a United fan, it pains me to say, Liverpool need to beat City to stop rewarding financial cheats. How can a club, funded by a Gulf state, override the integrity of the top division of English football. But we live in strange times; where the 'Enhanced Games' has been mooted!
@sportingintel @Alan_Alger_ Ok, but that doesn’t make my statement untrue 😉
Saw this last night - a beautiful, insightful and intelligent film set in parts of the city that are both familiar and anonymous. #goseeit
