So happy to announce that my book on the history of the #BHAFC matchday programme, will be published at the end of November. The result of a nearly 15-year labour of love, it will be the perfect addition to any coffee table! Keep checking back here for details on how to buy!

If a player stops during their run-up to take a penalty, the keeper should be allowed to be in front of the line.

Can we get something straight? Brighton and Hove Albion have not β€˜slapped a Β£115 price-tag’ on Carlos Baleba. It’s not the way they do transfer business. And anyway, I think Baleba should aim higher than Manchester United.

Anyone else get the impression from the way Trump talks about β€˜rare earth’ that he has no idea what rare earths actually are?

A discarded box of McDonald's chicken nuggets, red with black lettering (and obligatory golden "M" logo). Above the words "9 Chicken McNuggets" is, in much bigger font, "STORMZY".

It's still possible for Stormzy to do the right thing. Cancel the deal and stand with Palestine. Leaving that much money on the table isn't easy, but he's already a multi-millionaire and an artist's credibility is worth far more than whatever McDonald's is willing to pay for it

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest.

Two tier justice indeed.

Why have the BBC sent Clive Myrie to Los Angeles to tell us the same things that their local correspondent Emma Vardy has been telling us for the past few days?

Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the β€œunrealistic” part.

Turns out those scenes were almost bang on.

The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.

It’s all very well Liverpool having players attacking the ball from beyond the far post at corners, but if Trent can’t get the ball past the first defender then what’s the point?
