A beer at half-time? No thanks
English football has become hugely popular around the world. You only have to visit a Premier League football ground to realise what a draw the excitement and atmosphere of our native game is for tourists.

Thank goodness, Joe Hart has made a mistake
Joe Hart’s performances this season were becoming alarming. It appeared that we had an England keeper who could make stunning saves, hold on to the ball, shout commands at his defenders (and we do love it when a keeper is commanding) and on top of all that, manage not to make a ridiculous mistake.

Houllier has some high expectations to meet
Gerard Houllier is a surprise appointment for Aston Villa. He has been away from English football for six years. Liverpool was his last Premier League job, actually his only one.

Ed Balls was interviewed on Friday by my good colleague Matt Chorley for today’s Independent on Sunday. Apart from the bit where he said he had not just arrived from Mars, which I do not think he meant as an insult to the Milibands, I was most interested in his criticism of Gordon Brown for [...]

Summer holidays are too short
Frank Field is and always will be one of the Heroes of the People. Tony Blair is unnecessarily rude about him in A Journey, saying: “His thoughts were not so much unthinkable as unfathomable.”
But his thoughts about cutting the length of school summer holidays on the front page of today’s Times (pay wall) are not [...]
