Bought the splendid Drink Maps in Victorian Britain by

on Saturday and finished it in 2 days! Fabulous glimpse into Victorian social history and the perfect accompaniment to the reprint of the 1886 Temperance Drink Map of London that I acquired some years ago!

Nothing underlines the utter pointlessness of the Scottish League than seeing fans of the two Glasgow giants bereft at their clubs’ current form. I was at school when the title last left Glasgow. The sense of entitlement displayed these fans is laughable. At last: competition! Long may it last!

Cannot understand why the Beeb are so desperate to employ Rooney. He's got a column on the web, a podcast and bored punter slots on
#Motd
. He makes Shearer sound like a consumate professional. He's worse in the media than as a manager. And I'd never have thought that possible after Birmingham.

I'll take a point. Things I learned: 1 Our keepers need to be told to stay in their areas 2 Killip needs kicking lessons 3 Segecic needs passing lessons 4 Chaplin needs to continue to start. He'll only get better with more awareness of his new teammates 5 Our press can be very effective

I was unfair of Tom Brady to knock Wayne Rooney’s work ethic. He should have bemoaned his absolute lack of management prowess instead. I see after Derby, Brum and Plymouth have all had a go he is now shilling a pod on the BBC. He may have found his level at last.

Well that was a shambles. Disappointed with the team selection. And I am not sure even I can roll out the old "now we can concentrate on the league" excuse after just the 2nd game of the season. Poor. We need momentum ahead of Norwich and this ain't it.
