No, just read his Spanish footie stuff when I come across it. I exchanged comments with him on the Graun site a couple of times, as he is one of those writers who tends to respond 'below the line' and enjoy a chat with readers. That was before I got my account suspended for supposedly intemperate comments after the death of Nigel Lawson, and something rude I said about Serge Gainsbourg. They put me on the 'pre-modding' naughty step, so I told them to fuck off and started writing on Medium instead! Should I thank the Graun mods or not, I wonder?
