Boris Johnson at last did something right. He deferred to the experts.
When Boris Johnson announced that Britain was effectively in lockdown on Monday, it was, for me, the first time he actually acted as a Prime Minister should.

What do football fans do with the season on hold?
It's funny isn't it, how integral something that supposed to be a past-time or a hobby can become?

Jose Mourinho needs to stop blaming his lack of strikers. He needs to take responsibility for poor results.
Well, Jose Mourinho’s return to English football has not exactly been a smooth ride. Then again, when is anything a smooth ride with the Portuguese manager? While results definitely took an upturn in the immediate aftermath of his appointment, they have since taken more than a bit of a nose dive.
