Like modules at the Leveson inquiry, gut-wrenchingly exciting weekends of sport are coming along thick and fast now. But forget last weekend’s theatrics if you can, take a deep breath and get set for what truly will be one of the best days of sport in the year.
Just before we do though, a brief homage to one of the great men of British football. Anybody who watched the City skipper Vincent Kompany make his short graceful speech dedicating the victory to the supporters could see that here was a man who stands out in the world of football like the Archbishop of Canterbury in Las Vegas. The Belgian defender is the most talented centre back in Britain, can speak and read in three languages, is studying at Manchester Business School, and is a tireless campaigner for children’s charities in his father’s native Congo. The Premier League could not have gone to a side led by a more admirable man.
