‘Second ball’ may be a Sunday league mantra but Yates showed its top-flight relevance

Midfielder’s old-school attributes came to the fore during Nottingham Forest’s win against Manchester City Modern football is more systematised and data-driven than ever but some things never change. Winning the first ball is important but the second ball – the Holy Grail for Sunday league footballers – is often more so. Nottingham Forest’s 3-1 win against Manchester City last weekend featured a classic example. Forest led 2-1 inside the last 20 minutes but City, lifted by Rayan Cherki’s sweet half-volley, were pushing for an equaliser. Continue reading...

Bronze leg found in Scottish bog sheds new light on Roman occupation

Once thought to have been looted by Scottish tribes, the gilded limb is the centrepiece of a new exhibition on Roman Scotland in Edinburgh A large bronze leg found in a bog in rural Scotland more than 200 years ago and then hidden away in a duke’s storeroom is helping to rewrite the history of the Roman empire. Antiquarians argued that the so-called Milsington leg had been looted, perhaps from York, hacked off by marauding Scottish tribes and carried north over Hadrian’s Wall. “We cannot visualise the conditions which would have led to its erection anywhere north of the Great Wall,” said one s

Harry Kane’s England caps record: an illustrious career in numbers and charts

Striker to play historic 126th match and that’s far from the only statistic that sets him apart for his country Harry Kane will become the most capped player for England’s men when he features against Croatia at Wembley. Yet in the context of the grand history of international football, his record total will be relatively low. Kane will draw level with players including Dani Alves, Eden Hazard and Paolo Maldini on 126 caps. Illustrious players, none of whom lead their country’s appearance standings. Neither do Kevin De Bruyne or Luís Figo, on 127, or Manuel Neuer with 128. It will be some time

You had me at LOL: some notes for the You’ve Got Mail reboot

Substackers in love, dodgy romance scams and Jeff Bezos as the dashing lead … the film-makers behind the remake of the dial-up classic will be facing an embarrassment of pitches Assuming you have already heard about the You’ve Got Mail reboot, you are probably in one of two states. You are either excited that the news might be a signal of a long overdue romcom resurgence, or you are embittered because it’s another sign that Hollywood has run out of original ideas. I hold absolutely no truck with the latter view. Quite frankly, if there was ever a film in dire need of a reboot, then it’s You’ve
