Are we too quick to sneer at English managers?
Sam Allardyce’s comments that he would win the title every year if he were the manager of a club such as Chelsea or Real Madrid were met with widespread ridicule.
The Blackburn manager went as far as to back-track somewhat this week, suggesting the comments were tongue in cheek in response to a question of whether [...]

In case of emergency
Good issue of Prospect magazine just out. Apart from the cartoons (my favourite, right), it has a serious review of Tony Blair’s A Journey by David Goodhart, the editor. I’ve been surprised by how so few reviewers have engaged with the arguments in Blair’s book as opposed to drivelling on about the trivia. Not even the [...]

What Christine O’Donnell did to Mel Gibson
Forget witchcraft. There’s one toxic issue that Christine O’Donnell REALLY doesn’t want you to know about her past.
She dabbled in public relations for Mel Gibson.
The sullied name of Hollywood’s Jew-bashing, girlfriend-baiting star was removed from the Tea Party pin-up’s resume, the moment that the Republican National Committee got its hands on her website following her [...]

Another sliver of Twitter’s business plan goes public
Twitter employees are a rarity this side of the Atlantic, so it was no surprise to see a healthy crowd for this morning’s opening session “Twitter and Advertising: An engaging conversation” at digital media conference AdTech.
Twitter Product Manager Shiva Rajaraman was entertaining but fairly quiet on a lot of questions put to him by the [...]

Premier League remains the most exciting
There’s no place like home. Spain offers the riches of Real Madrid and the splendour of Barcelona. While Italy clearly have titans like Internazionale and Milan.
