THE BIG KICK-OFF (TAKE TWO)
Down in Albion, after an unscheduled delay, top-level football returns. Mostly. Due to events in Westminster, and a length of queue The Fiver would only consider to land tickets to see a double bill of Toyah Willcox and Owen Paul, Chelsea v Liverpool is OFF on Sunday. Thus, the soccer world is denied the opportunity to see the increasingly agitated Jürgen Klopp pacing the Stamford Bridge sideline as his lads take on Todd Boehly’s 1970s CBS sports-jacket all-stars. Manchester United v Leeds has also been tinned, for reasons of policing 200 miles away (!) but, considering the summer we all had, top billing really, truly ought to be offered to the return of England’s glorious Lionesses to their day jobs in the Women’s Super League.
