Late Fast Start**

Manchester City and the
Premier League are both declaring victory after the champions contested the league's regulations regarding commercial deals.
The ongoing correspondence about various topics in football has become overwhelming. It’s clear that we are in a lengthy process, and the evaluation of letters and their selection can only be truly assessed in hindsight. The letter-writing and judging processes require time, and it’s likely that many involved are feeling the strain.
On a lighter note, I enjoyed the Belfast derby this weekend, though I found the tendency to label it the ‘Bel Clasico’ rather annoying. Not everything needs to be a play on ‘
El Clásico’. If this continues, we might soon see the Manchester derby dubbed the ‘’. Given one team is filled with overpriced but subpar players while the other has simply bought their way to success, this might not be far off the mark.
I’d like to join the chorus of pedants pointing out that the phrase ‘making [food item]’ is typically an American way of saying they are preparing food. The more intriguing question is why Karim Adeyemi, a German footballer with no known ties to America, is being taught American culinary expressions in his English lessons. It’s almost as if there’s a belief that Americans are superior cooks.
An interesting piece on Arsenal’s Paul Davis caught my attention recently. I was surprised to learn that had considered calling up the talented midfielder, despite him never earning an England cap. During my time at Lloyd’s of London, I often discussed squad selections with Robson’s son. For years, I advocated for Davis, only to be told that Robson thought he was too slow. I argued that he was akin to Tigana of France, but to no avail. Regardless, Davis was a remarkable player and deserved a chance with the national team.
Initially, I intended to write a critical letter about how Football Daily has never met my expectations, but then I realized I’ve never hit ‘unsubscribe’, so you must be doing something right. Instead, I’ll express my gratitude for reminding me of A Certain Trigger and their fantastic penultimate song, as well as the amusing image of Football Daily attempting acrobatics.
