No, there was no dispute about that whatsoever from anyone.

Painful as it is, I do not think Ramos did 'fail a drug test'. He was given a glucocorticosteroid (a 'GCC'), which are not permitted in competition unless (a) they are administered in a certain way or (b) the player has a special permission (a TUE) to use them. It sounds like he was given a GCC but that it was administered in a permitted way (GCCs are often given in conjunction with painkillers to reduce inflammation caused by a painkilling injection). There are a number of different GCCs and it appears that the club doctor recorded one type on the relevant forms, when in fact he was given another. He did not break any rules, and WADA has confirmed this.

There was a Cardiff fan with a wig and fake tash pretending to be Vincent Tan, the club’s owner. Why was he dressed up as Hitler in that case? Although I don't think Hitler wore aviators.

Yes, you wonder whether Bookies are above being involved in slipping out 'information' and cashing in as gullible people place what they perecive to be clever bets. In that vein I did read that Trump weighed in quite heavily on the Beckhams getting divorced, obvioulsy got burned and has had it in for 'fake news' ever since.

I watched that game with the same sense that (as Bill Bryson puts it) you might have if you were sent compromising photographs of a loved one.

What was the game where we were drawing 2-2, had used two subs, and Rafa brought Lucas on, leaving Robbie Keane on the bench? I remember putting my head in my hands and giving it the full Roy face-rub.

And I am yet to see a photo of him sheepishly arriving at an event with an embarrassingly young woman on his arm.

Twat of the Tournament 1 Neymar 2 Antoine Griezmann 3 Patrice Evra Griezmann and Evra are fine, fine twats but they must feel like actors did when Daniel Day-Lewis released a film, come awards time there's not much point even showing up.

I've been bemused at the smoke blown up Southgate's arse. There are thermophile bacteria living in the icy oceans of Europa who knew full well that Croatia's midfield was their ace in the hole and that Modric and Rakitic are their two main players. For some reason, Southgate played three against four, and two of them were Dele Alli and Lingard. Henderson had no time to do anything except hit it long, he had no one to pass to. Bringing on Loftus Cheek for Sterling seemed obvious, or even for one of the centre-halves. But he basically handed the game to a hard-working but knackered side. England lost their best chance of a major final in decades because the manager got out tactic'd by Roger Federer's dad. Not, incidentally, that I care (by the way, although Croatia the team may be likable, their fans are every bit as bad as England's). As for the defence - Walker at centre-half was a liability. He bookended the tournament by making mistakes that resulted in two out of the five goals that England let in. And yes, this latest round-up is quite masterful.

I wouldn't want to come across as shallow but I also thought Vida looked ridiculous. If Legolas shagged Prince Charles that's how I imagine their child would look.

The fact that we let 9 points go down with the bottom three has a lot to do with us not finishing where we should have done. Vote of Thanks: these reports are a Friday highlight, usually the cue for a mid-afternoon Americano and a sugared doughnut. Thank you for them all.

In a similar vein I'd be interested to know where Ronan Keating was 9 months before Karius was born.

You have to wonder what kind of a world we live in when a stand up lad like Ox gets an injury that rules him out of a Champions League final and a world cup while those two cunts are still standing doing silly handshakes. Amen to that. If there was a Wankers Olympics...

I stopped reading at the part where Sam Allardyce uses his moobs to provide breast relief.

'Pep' has come in for criticism recently but one thing you can't take him to task for is his controlled outswingers, which he uses very effectively before bringing one back into the batsman's pads.
