Wait a minute. Wasn’t it just yesterday we welcomed the collapse of Ross’s kind of modernism? Weren’t we overjoyed to be finally getting out from under modern art’s worship of industrial technology, its cold, reductive abstraction and its insufferable elitism? Down with all those boring Don Judd metal boxes calling themselves sculpture, we said. Up with wacky David Sadie paintings that combine pulp illustration, girlie photos and ironic allusions to other people’s art-all on the same canvas!...

Lionel Messi was back in the team for the first time since the Copa America after serving a four-match ban for accusing CONMEBOL of corruption. He scored the decisive goal early on when pouncing on the rebound after seeing Alisson save his penalty a few moments after Gabriel Jesus had also failed to convert from 12 yards. Otherwise it was a scrappy and disjointed affair, though Argentina looked considerably more threatening in the final third and were unfortunate to not add to the score in the second half....

The Sunday papers during the close season represent a particular pleasure. Journalists use their experience, well established connections and diligent research to write various transfer rumours and gossip. My hunch is that these stories are actually based on half truths from agents, pissed up hack pub lunches and following @ITKAgent007 remains just that, a hunch. So, dear reader, in the name of research and truth, I am going to document and dissect the transfer stories from the Sunday ‘Big 4?...
