Reading star Josh Laurent admits his teammates knew the challenges which would lie ahead in the Championship this season, as the Royals stand on the cusp of securing their survival.

Placeholder while article actions loadIn their previous contest five years ago, French President Emmanuel Macron squashed his populist opponent Marine Le Pen by 66% to 34%. If polls are any guide, the rematch on April 24 will be a lot closer. One must hope that the country’s voters come to their senses and give Macron the further term and popular mandate he deserves. The alternative — a President Le Pen — would be a disaster not just for France but also for Europe and its allies.Incumbents in democracies often struggle in testing times. These surely qualify.

The familiar lament says technology is taking over, a generation choosing gaming ahead of the game. Football, they say, is losing players to the PlayStation. Not always. This time, it’s the opposite: on Saturday night, Valencia face Real Betis in the final of the Copa del Rey and had it not been for the Game Boy, the man wearing 10 running their midfield wouldn’t have been there.

Now comes the far thornier question about how far to go in canceling Vladimir Putin’s Russia — not just politically connected elites but the athletes, artists and other symbolic ambassadors of the regime. The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club – the body that runs the historic Wimbledon championship – has decided to ban Russian and Belarusian tennis players from this year’s tournament. Roland Garros, as the French Open is called, has not made a similar determination, which leaves the odd spectacle of Russian players being banned in…
