Nottingham Forest will rightly face some punishment. You can't impugn an official's integrity. Also fair if PGMOL release the audio.

Personal update: thank you so much again for all the kind words since leaving The Times and The Sunday Times and also for the offers of work, including gardening, much appreciated! My next steps are…

1) Writing a daily football column/news story/interview on Substack launching fully today.

#MUFC problem is as much with underperforming players as an underwhelming manager. Plus why #NFFC would be better off not calling officials out but instead calling a meeting of aggrieved clubs. My daily newsletter post via Substack. open.substack.com/pub/henrywinte…

Interesting to see what time FA Cup final kicks off on May 25. Met police deemed #MCFC v #MUFC “high risk” last year so that was 3pm kick-off. This year, one of the broadcasters, ITV, also screens rugby union Champions Cup final at 2.45pm from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Will Met

Immature, irresponsible tweet. There are more grown-up ways to address a concern than this. Bizarre behaviour which simply undermines any sympathy for Forest over the decisions.

Coventry City are out of the FA Cup but their comeback, their passion for the Cup, their manager, players and fans showed how much the Cup matters. Coventry respected the Cup when its future was placed in doubt last week. #PUSB #MUNCOV #FACup

Watched Jason Wilcox take a session while #MCFC age-group coach. Had the respect of the young players not just because of his playing career but the quality of his coaching, people skills and quiet authority (black belt in judo too). Loss to #SaintsFC . Good appointment by #MUFC .

What a player. Very sad news. Thoughts with Leighton James’ family. RIP.

Sad news about Sir Chips Keswick. Former director and chairman of #AFC and a lifelong fan. Thoughts with his family. RIP.

“We understand the concerns expressed over the last 24 hours, and we will be sharing more details with clubs very shortly to explain the additional revenue opportunities in the early rounds,” The FA. “We will keep this under review as the new calendar begins to ensure that EFL and
