Good for Harry Kane and others on the honours, but love to know what Jimmy Greaves, 422 club goals / 44 international goals, 1966 World Cup winner, 2 x FA Cup winner, Serie A winner and European Cup Winners' Cup winner, would have had to do to get one...

- Some very sad news to report. Sir Bobby Charlton has been diagnosed with dementia. The fifth of England's 1966 heroes. I spoke with Lady Norma y'day and she hopes that wider knowledge of Sir Bobby's diagnosis will help others. Full story here:
- From where Arsenal were, to win 9/10 games with a new tactical system - including big games against Man City and Chelsea - is extraordinary
- This will be recalled many times in the coming days but the ultimate Peter Hill-Wood anecdote has to be him puffing on a cigar at Anfield and calmly saying "never in doubt" when Arsenal won the league in 1989
- Exclusive. Liverpool have had a world record £75m bid accepted by Southampton for Virgil van Dijk.
- Exclusive interviews. The real Arsene Wenger, by his brother Guy and closest friends:
- Remember this from Arsene Wenger in 2015 and feels relevant today. He said FFP was finished once he saw how clubs with far more money than sports governing bodies were ready to go down the legal route:
- Arsene Wenger and Stan Kroenke have reached agreement on 2-yr contract. Due to be ratified by board shortly. Formal announcement tomorrow
- Slight irony that those seemingly most outraged by Arsenal's FA Cup exit were also least impressed by Wenger becoming competition's most successful manager 7 months ago....
- Bit more detail on Van Dijk deal. It's £70m, rising to around £75m. Southampton wanted big chunk up front as they plan to be active in January too and want to get an attacker in quickly.
- Early days but, so far this afternoon, Xhaka looking like the central midfielder that Arsenal have needed for about 10 years
- Jens Lehmann finalising deal to join Arsenal as 1st team coach. Will be working directly with Wenger, Bould + Primorac, not only keepersArsenal close to appointing Jens Lehmann as a first-team coach to work alongside Wenger and Bould telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/…
- I think Pochettino is great and Spurs have the momentum/could still win the league... but isn't the Poch = genius, Wenger = failure narrative a bit over-played while it is 2-1 to Wenger in league finishes and 2-0 in trophies?
- Exclusive: Rory Campbell, who worked previously at West Ham, has made live bid to buy Bury. Proof of funds provided to EFL + now waiting on whether they will grant extension. He's the son of Alastair Campbell + well connected in football. Full story to follow on @TelegraphSport
