David Jennings talks us through his Friday in self-isolation
Steven Gerrard's autobiography is awful. If you have not read it yet, don't. Apart from finding out he hated El Hadji Diouf, you learn very little. He always tried the spectacular and unexpected when he was playing, it is a pity he didn't bring that into his writing.
