An interesting observation yesterday from Frank Lampard, who has now suffered 13 defeats in his last 16 matches as the manager of Everton and now, in a short-term capacity, with Chelsea. “Special things can happen at Stamford Bridge”, he said. “We have to believe”. Of course, having to believe is not quite the same as believing; it sounds desperate rather than reassuring. In the context of footballing failure, this is what magical thinking looks like.
More concise messaging from Rupert Murdoch who, we learn today, divorced his fourth wife, Jerry Hall, by email. According to a report on the 92-year-old billionaire, he wrote “Jerry, sadly I’ve decided to call an end to our marriage. We have certainly had some good times, but I have much to do. My New York lawyer will be contacting yours immediately”.
