WHAT’S HOT WHAT’S NOT
HOT JORDAN HENDERSON
THE guy whose running style was just too weird for Sir Alex Ferguson is hitting quite a stride. He has long been a great captain of Liverpool but evidently he is now a leader of footballers everywhere, judging by his role in the #PlayersTogether campaign.
JOANNA COATES
THE new CEO of UK Athletics has been a refreshing change with her strongly-worded assessments of their calamities this week. On the basis that past regimes have failed to recognise the massive shortcomings, UKA at least appear to have a fighting chance.
ANDREW COTTER
FIND the BBC commentator’s Twitter feed. Watch the videos he has made of his dogs, Olive and Mabel. Watch them over and again until the lockdown ends. You’re welcome.
NOT FABIO CAPELLO
A DECADE on and he’s still boring us to tears. In a recent interview, the Italian showed more exuberance in trying to gloss over his failings than he ever did in his management of England.

LIVERPOOL
LET us not fall into the trap of forgetting how a club who hold themselves up as something ‘more’ took a major misstep in their decision to furlough non-playing staff.
