Trump dumping his Nvidia stock a few weeks before this Chinese spy story dropped is the least shocking thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Straight to jail.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe will one day have to explain why Manchester United didn’t follow Michael Carrick’s recommendation of the four players he felt the club needed in the summer window – Elliot Anderson, Lewis Hall, Morgan Rogers and, fourth on the list, Mateus Fernandes. Were debt repayments restricting their buying power? Was it simply because United felt the fees were too much for them? In the case of Fernandes, United certainly felt Spurs overpaid for the midfielder from relegated West Ham - £85m for a player West Ham bought from Southampton a year earlier for £38m. But everyone knew the market was inflated and those were the fees being demanded – and commanded – for such young talent, especially in a World Cup summer. Anderson went for £114m, Rogers for £115m. Hall (overlooked for World Cup) could probably have been got for £60m+ before he committed to Newcastle United. Anderson would have transformed United's midfield - certainly more than the £150m spent on Andrey Santos, Carlos Baleba and Youri Tielemans. Hall was the obvious choice to fill the problem position of left-back with Luke Shaw injured and 31. There used to be a time when Manchester United would go for “best in class” players, even if that meant chunky fees. Not now. That has to change. Mauricio Pochettino will certainly expect Ratcliffe and Jason Wilcox to think bigger in the transfer market - more befitting of a club United's size. Carrick, understanding the challenge United faced in the summer, wanted United to buy properly. They didn't. An indication of the way ahead will be whether Mauricio Pochettino's title is head coach or manager (and driving recruitment like Arteta, Emery). #MUFC

This morning I was told of the passing of my good friend and colleague, Danny Kelly. The tributes to him in the coming days from those who knew him and worked with him will give you an idea of how much he was loved. I loved him too. Very much so. A man who I called "Dad" on air because I wished he was. I hope you give me a few minutes to read my thoughts, and I hope they do you justice, Dan. By 2008 I was a mess. I would sleep 18 hours a day, the other 6 mostly wanting to die. Once or twice a week I would open my laptop, organise football tabs, gossip and news as prep for jobs in broadcasting that I knew would never come, "just in case". When hope dies, we die, after all. Then Danny Kelly came into my life. I was driving out of London having been to see a psychiatrist about the state I was in and had BBC London on the radio. Danny was presenting with a guest, reviewing books. My name came up in the conversation, so I called in. We hit it off straight away, talked about football for what seemed like forever but was probably a standard 10-12 minute section. But for me it sparked a temporary respite from sleep and chronic mental health issues and even for that I was grateful. A couple of years later Danny joined talkSPORT to do the 7-10pm slot through the week. He told me he was offered a few co-presenters but he remembered that conversation we had and he wanted me to do it. A lifeline of work, passionately talking about our sport, having fun and feeling a value as a human again. Something lost for 7 long years. Danny gifted me that. Without that I know I wouldn't be writing this today. "Always fresh, never frozen" was the tagline in a Domino's read we had to do in the show, something we'd instinctively greet each other with until our last meeting, in a pub, broadcasting for talkSPORT around 3 years ago. I didn't know that time would be the last, but perhaps fittingly we hugged as I left, I'm glad I did. The shows were loved. They were funny, honest, insightful and I hope, along with Saggers after that, proof that Danny's belief in me was worthy. But to say my love for him was only thanks for a job doesn't even scratch the surface. His kindness, his phone calls late at night ( Dan was a notorious night owl) of support, his man hugs, his indomitable spirit, his big brain on anything from football to music to geopolitics, his love, as I know many others will testify, came from the biggest of hearts and the biggest of souls housed in a giant of a man in every sense. Dan, thank you, thank you for the kindness, the fun, the hope, the support and for being someone to look up to and aspire to be. I love you very much, I know I'll hug you again some day. Thank you for everything. "I love football Stan, I love it ".

AISLING BEA TOOK ONE WORD ON THE JONATHAN ROSS SHOW AND REFUSED TO LET THE CONVERSATION SURVIVE. The confidence was impressive. The commitment to making everyone uncomfortable was even better.

This is fucking terrifying! So pleased she made it through and is 'okay'
Chloe was drugged with ketamine, zipped into a suitcase, and driven to a farmhouse where two men listed her body for sale on the dark web. The auction price was €300,000. The buyer was supposed to be somewhere in the Middle East. She was 20 years old. She had a baby waiting for her in London. Nobody knew where she was. No one was coming. She spent six days in that farmhouse - handcuffed, drugged, told she'd be sold like cargo. She survived by doing the only thing she could: she made her kidnapper fall in love with her. Slept in his bed. Told him she could be his girlfriend. Played the role until he believed it enough to drive her to freedom. And when she finally got out - the entire world called her a liar. She's a model from London. At 20 she was already working internationally - agencies, photoshoots, the usual. A new booking came in: a photographer in Milan. Seemed normal. She flew to Italy on July 11, 2017. The location was an old warehouse on the outskirts of the city. No crew. No lights. No photographer. Just two men in balaclavas waiting for her. They grabbed her. Injected her with ketamine. Stuffed her unconscious body into a large travel bag. Zipped it shut. Drove her to a remote farmhouse in the countryside. When she woke up - handcuffed, drugged, alone - they told her who they were. "Black Death." A criminal organization that kidnaps women and sells them on the dark web. She was listed for auction. Starting price: €300,000. Buyer: somewhere in the Middle East. Her agent received an email from someone called "MD." It said: pay the ransom or she gets sold. No negotiation. The kidnapper was Lukasz Herba. A Polish man living in England. He and his brother Michal had planned it for months. The fake photographer. The fake agency emails. Everything. For six days Chloe was trapped. She couldn't run. She couldn't call anyone. Her baby was in London. Nobody knew where she was. So she did something desperate. She noticed Lukasz was becoming attached to her. She played into it. She agreed to share a bed with him. She told him maybe one day she could be his girlfriend. She made him believe she had feelings for him. It worked. He drove her to the British consulate in Milan and let her go. When the story broke - the world didn't believe her. "She went shopping with him." "She was holding his hand." "She smiled in interviews." "She wore revealing clothes at press conferences." People called it a publicity stunt. Piers Morgan tore into her on live TV. The kidnappers' lawyers said she faked the whole thing for fame. She was never praised for getting out alive. She was interrogated for how she acted while being held captive. Lukasz Herba was convicted. Sentenced to 16 years. Reduced to 11 on appeal. His brother got 16 years too. The convictions didn't stop the hate. People still called her a liar. Years later she was diagnosed with autism - which explained why her reactions didn't look "normal" to people watching from the outside. She said: "I was never praised for my bravery. I always had to defend myself." She was 20. She had a baby. She was drugged, stuffed in a bag, and listed for sale like cargo. She manipulated her kidnapper into letting her live. And the punishment for surviving was being called a liar by millions of strangers. When a woman escapes a kidnapping by outsmarting her captor - and the world punishes her for not crying the right way on camera - who exactly failed her?
