This place is excellent - and very reasonably priced - for Pizza https://maps.app.goo.gl/7BJgwLyrYN2uV7nDA

None is the factual answer as I'm not there, however, if I was I'd give a resounding round of applause. As much as I've been vocal about what I think is a lack of diplomacy, tact and respect from him in recent weeks he has been in no small part responsible for some of the best football I've...

It's unlikely there will be any discernable performance issues between the 2 suppliers. Talk Talk will be cheaper, Sky have got marginally the better customer service but at the end of the day you don't want to be phoning either up if something goes wrong. If you go with Sky, don't get their...

Our game is looking like it will be cancelled this weekend. It appears there are massive tyre tracks on the outfield as they tried to mow it after a deluge which has caused it to look like a quad bike track. At best it is proper Micky Mouse boundaries. Proper Village stuff. When I say "our"...

When you look at the income streams for NFL or football neither sports "needs" it but that won't stop them. NFL has the odd number of games which makes it easier to export fixtures than football but they will find a way. My prediction is that the Spanish league will export fixtures first...

The end of last season and the start of this was as good as it gets for a Calendar year of football following Brighton rather than a seasons worth. I think my lifetime of supporting Albion peaked in Athens. A great win at Forest the weekend before, a win in a fantastic city, teargassing and...

Saudi money in sport is largely wank. Golf is ruined. Newcastle. The 1 man and his dog watching Jordan Henderson before he scarpered in their shit football league. The Saudi Grand Prix. The 2034 World Cup. Boxing, however, has at least put matches on. It's forced fights where they otherwise...

I'm a bad fan tonight and couldn't be arsed to to go (it's a 360 mile round trip in my defence). There's a big debate at the moment about Anthony Gordon getting fouled on Sky and I've watched it 3 or 4 times and I only saw the "obvious" foul on the 5th viewing. In the studio, Andy Cole isn't...

VAR tonight has been our friend - Lamptey (it's never a sending off) stays on, Resse James goes off (which was but wasn't either). - Penalty overturned which was never a penalty. Sometimes, it does what it is supposed to do which in this case was correcting a ref called Salisbury who should...

I personally don't think VAR itself is that bad but the way it's has been implemented in England in particular is atrocious. Some weeks it intervenes for very borderline penalties, some weeks it lets obvious ones go, obvious offsides can take forever, the absolute guess up on the lines they...

It started already to a degree. We did the Summer series last year along with Brentford, Newcastle & Chelsea. PB & TB may make the right noises about the export of fixtures but we are obviously going to the States (and Japan this year) for a reason. The one to watch out for is the Charity...

The Packers have ended up in Sao Paulo this year. The NFL is expanding abroad all the time (as an aside, the Premier League would benefit from the wage cap imposed in the States). Whether it's 5, 10 or 20 years the Premier league will go the same way. The players are Global, we see Global fans...

11pm ring walk to be taken with appropriate pinch of salt https://news.sky.com/story/tyson-fury-vs-oleksandr-usyk-start-time-undercard-and-how-to-watch-13135747

Well, I live near COVENTRY. See if you can pick any holes in that. Yesterday, I drove past Carpet Kingdom, Carpet Castle and a dead cat all within 100 yards of each other on the Holbrook's road before lifting dog shit off a football pitch to get a game on. It's like living in Disneyland.

The only good thing about Crawley is that it's by an airport and you can get a long, long way away from it, very, very quickly.
