We had our first "Old Firm" match of the season at Wollaton Park GC on Monday which might well be renamed the 'Last of the Summer Wine' match when the photo gets uploaded. After five hours of battle with the course and the chilly breeze the homeboys won the day each with 33 stabbos. Kerchinggg!

Tom is amazingly fit and strong just 4/5 weeks after his medical issues, regularly striping drives well over 250 yards and Tony is a picture of good health too regularly striping drives 150 yards! He did outdrive me on one hole and it was duly brought to my attention. We had a great days golf which I thoroughly enjoyed and look forward to doing it again soon when Tony returns from Vegas having got the lot obv.

I saw that The Times leading football correspondent is advocating for Crystal Palace to play a weakened team v Lance Armstrong FC this evening. This is because they are likely to rest a few players for their upcoming Conference League final match in the last game of the season against Arsenal. It will apparently 'level the playing field'. 

Breaking news.

Arsenal to change their name, to make it clear who their main sponsor is....

Went to Lytham on Thursday to see the brilliant Steve Cradock show, Travellers tunes. For those unfamiliar Steve is a founder member of Ocean Colour Scene, plays with Paul Weller and also a producer of other artists.

On stage with him were his very talented son and wife.

Agreed.

If Given and Murphy are the answer, then it must have been a really stupid question

Given seemed to be saying that Arsenal have cheated in a similar way in previous games and got away with it, therefore West Ham should be entitled to cheat in the same way. That's really not the way football works.

In relation to the ridiculous stuff in the box at set pieces, which was probably started by Arsenal, but now done by most teams, the answer is simple. The Ref needs to give 1 warning. After that, the ball is deemed live even before the Corner is taken. A couple of Penalties and a Sending Off and, as if by magic, all this nonsense stops.

And that isn't new. I remember that certifiable loony tunes Jens Lehman being sent off in exactly that way. Wrestling, blocking off the keeper etc is (or should be ) no different to kicking the ball away or preventing a quick free kick.

Off to watch Spirs v Leeds on Sky. I've warned my Wife that my language may get a bit, er, industrial...

Well that was about as enjoyable as watching the Wardley fight last night.

We obviously could have won it a lot more easily but wanted to put those pesky spuds fans through the wringer

You’ve earned the right to be where you are, but football is not being improved by VAR.
Shay Given made some good points on the subject on MotD.

I thought Shay Given spoke a load of unmitigated bollox. Danny Murphy told him exactly that on the show.

Hi Darren,

I'm so sorry for your loss, you must be devastated. I do hope she did not suffer too much.

There's a thread below where 9 or 10 blondes have already expressed their sorrow & condolences.
