Youâd think if you were going to take on the burden of bringing back a twice-accused rapist to your club, the hierarchy would have to be pretty sure that it would make a huge difference on the field.

David Moyes must be having a midlife crisis with West Ham
Maybe it was pandemic football that blinded me. After all, it was hard to fully invest in in the same way with the canned noise and lessened verve that each game had. Everything started to look and feel the same, and hence I couldnât see what was really going on. ...

Yeah, this Romelu Lukaku thing is going to be a problem
Well, a problem for anyone who isnât a Chelsea supporter at least, which the most annoying of my close friends just happens to be. So thatâs great.
