  It’s the arms race, stupid. As long as there are fears of someone else developing an arsenal you can justify ever-increasing defence spending of your own.

  I’m working with Akira Hypolite, which I think is a pretty cool name, but I have to resist the urge to scream ‘AAAAAAKKKKIIIIIIIIIRRAAAAA!!!!!!’ every time I ask her something. I’m sure she’s heard it all before, even though she’s probably younger than the film.

  Watching the final in the ‘sports’ bar in an all inclusive family resort in Lanzarote. Hilarious mix of scousers, already baked pink from the sun and well drunk, with the Spanish staff quietly grinning away.

  From a neutral’s point of view, I hope Liverpool are able to play the way they’ve done all season. It has been pretty joyful to watch them when at their best.

  Nice one @dubkev! It was bloody hot after the first 5 miles. According to my phone I did a 1:52. I got my splits slightly wrong and can’t remember crossing the finish line. I had to have a little lie down immediately after. On a stretcher. In the medical tent.

  I think this is the first time they’ve allocated pens. It should be easy enough to squeeze in to the next one. Worst case, get to the front of your pen and you’ll catch up easy enough.
