In the last five weeks I've seen Better Lovers, Turnstile, Conjurer and Vower. That's ridiculous. Live music is the best.

Reckon these are the pots for the playoffs: Pot 1 Italy Denmark Turkey Ukraine Pot 2 Poland Wales Slovakia Czechia Pot 3 Ireland Albania Bosnia Kosovo Pot 4 North Macedonia Romania Sweden Northern Ireland One off games, pot 1 at home to pot 4, pot 2 at home to pot 3. Single leg final playoff

I love John McGinn so much. I want him to play for the Villa forever.

Bonkers sport.

All football should be last five minutes of a cup final football.

He's so good.

Football at all levels has a dangerously insane relationship with its referees, but in non-league it also comes with a chasm between reality and foaming Twitter activists who've never been to a game. This week's newsletter is on the AFC Rushden & Diamonds v Coventry Sphinx match abandonment.

Football at all levels has a dangerously insane relationship with its referees, but in non-league it also comes with a chasm between reality and foaming Twitter activists who've never been to a game. This week's newsletter is on the AFC Rushden & Diamonds v Coventry Sphinx match abandonment.

A little reminder while the news media continues to take the Rushden & Diamonds manager at his word: nobody was identified and removed from Sphinx Drive before the abandonment of yesterday's match.

To be clear: The abuse in question was more sexually aggressive than sexist. Contrary to a widely reported claim by their manager, the culprit was not identified and removed. The nearby fans circled the wagons and the abandonment was therefore inevitable.

I'd like to say I'm stunned that our match was abandoned today because of sexist abuse shouted at the referee. I'd like to, but I can't.

flags are looking good lads
