I’m looking forward to seeing how Amario Oswald Gerardo Cozier-Duberry get on today. The 19-year-old winger was highly regarded when at Arsenal and might just provide the unpredictability Blackburn have been missing.

It’s also worth noting that Blackburn give debuts to recent arrivals Yuri Ribeiro and Emmanuel Dennis. The latter, on loan from Nottingham Forest, could prove to be a really smart acquisition.

The isolated Pacific nation is trying to build its first football team amid a battle for survival against rising sea levels

The Marshall Islands, an isolated sprawl of atolls covering 750,000 square miles of the Pacific Ocean but home to barely 42,000 people, may be the final frontier for the world’s most popular sport. It claims to be the last country on Earth without a football team, and to this day, the islands have never hosted an 11-a-side game.

Until recently, football was an alien concept in a nation occupied by the US since the second world war, with baseball and basketball the traditional sports. As interest has grown in recent years, another barrier has emerged. Land has always been at a premium on these fragile shores, but never more than now with rising sea levels bringing fears of permanent flooding.

Brazilian’s injury-blighted career highlights iniquities of the game, from inflated expectations to curse of celebrity excess

Never go back, but sometimes going back is all that remains. Just 18 months after he joined Al-Hilal, Neymar and the Saudi club have agreed to terminate his contract, allowing him to return to Brazil and rejoin Santos. Al-Hilal paid £77m to sign Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain on a salary of £2.5m a week. He will be paid 85% of that for the remainder of this season, meaning he cost the club £322m for seven appearances, three assists and one goal. Like so much of Neymar’s career, it all seems such a dreadful waste.

His is a story almost designed to highlight the iniquities of the modern game, from the impossible pressures...

Under-fire owner has transformed Tottenham into a fully self-sustaining entity. The alternatives are hardly more palatable

There was a tender moment at the end of Tottenham’s win against Elfsborg on Thursday night as Ange Postecoglou walked out on to the pitch looking a little haunted and jittery, a strange kind of light in his eyes. It took a few seconds to work out what was up. The reason for this was he was happy. Here was a man remembering how to smile, willing his face into the right kind of shape, searching for the muscle memory.

It was also a nice moment. The recent run of Bad Ange stuff, the Ange who does interviews like a policeman standing too close to you in a tiny lift, has been painful to watch. The Premier League is brutal. It will stretch you thin. And it has been rough with Postecoglou, who came with no comparable experience, who is 59...

Chief executive remains sceptical about regulation and urges fans not to overreact to promoted teams’ struggles

It is 5pm in Brighton, the sun has set, but the skies are still teeming with rain. On a five-a-side pitch at the top of one of the city’s many inclines, a group of determined girls are being put through their paces by a coach from Albion in the Community. They’re running hard, working through passing exercises, keeping warm. And at the side of the pitch is the Premier League’s chief executive, Richard Masters, standing under an umbrella looking happy.

Masters describes the community and social programmes his competition supports as “the other half of the Premier League”. His trip to Brighton commemorates the beginning of a process that will anoint 100 “community captains”, celebrating the work of individuals in clubs up and down the football pyramid. He says: “I’ve always said if other stuff might be getting you down and you need an injection of enthusiasm,...
