The best of Hignfy series 61

[@NikoMikkanen]

"Watching Ian struggle with popular culture is one of the highlights of my life!" It is for all of us, Paul.

[@lmm2103]

Not that this is a criticism but Ian does at least use a smartphone. I understand perfectly well why Paul doesn't but as a journalist Ian must have his finger on the pulse in a lot of respects

It is sad and reassuring at the same time to see that I'm not the only one who has aged 10 years in the last 2 years of Covid.

This I believe this was a foul as Boris didn't attempt wrap his arms around the ball carrier in the tackle but the 'has to go for the ball' comment is not correct. Once the ball carrier is on the ground he has to release the ball. You can have this one Ian!
