BIG NOTHING?

Hello reader. It’s scorching outside and we don’t do well in the heat – it scrambles our brain and plays havoc with our decision-making. The last time it was this hot we went to buy milk and ended up asleep on a pedalo in Grimsby. So we’ve decided to spend our time indoors watching TV instead. There’s a new documentary out about Paul Pogba, you see. It’s called the Pogmentary. Yes, really. Some Amazon Prime creatives came up with that. Perhaps the heat got to them, too. Anyway, the Pogmentary has created other headlines because in one scene with his late Mr 20%, Mino Raiola, the France midfielder describes a £300,000-per-week contract offer from Manchester United as “nothing”. It’s not gone down well with United fans and The Fiver would pay good money to see Graeme Souness’s reaction to it. His moral outrage probably caused the buttons on his fitted shirt to pop off and land in his Martini.
