It’s not all bad news for them. The losers at this stage get £1,250. That’ll probably pay for the charabanc to West Yorkshire! The winners get £4,500, so if they do manage to jam a win, it’ll be an ugly scene to see the directors all trying to get their snout in the trough first.

I’m not surprised, I don’t think subs management is a strong point at Viz Towers. When I still lived in the UK in the 90s, I had a subscription, which I then changed to an international one when I moved to the US. I kept that up for at least 10 years, before finally cancelling, or at least not...

Away at Halifax, so no bar and pie money and the prospect of a crowd that would be no bigger, possibly smaller, than if they’d been drawn at home. Halifax fans have been taking umbridge with the owners and staying away this season.

Lou Reed - Good Evening Mr Waldheim

Ever since the new Cardiacs album came out 6 weeks ago, I’ve been listening to pretty much nothing else but them. This is one of their older songs, and one of my favorites and a belting version to boot, from an old Mark Radcliffe BBC Radio session.

In the North West Counties League tonight, 7 of the 9 games got abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch, one after just 10 mins(!), stretching from Wolverhampton to Barnoldswick. I assume a line of heavy storms came through about 8pm last night?!?

The Fall - Who Makes the Nazis

This guy is such an overpromoted buffoon, I have to keep reminding myself that he’s real and not some Kal Penn-portrayed uncover satire job.

Just seen the goal, it was a OG and a beautiful finish to boot! A stooping header into the bottom corner, under no pressure whatsoever and without an opposition player within 10 yards. Maybe the defender liked those odds too!

Fucking needy mardarses.

Cardiacs - In a City Lining

Browns. LOL.

This has been the City way for the last 50 years.

Bogshed - Duck Fight/ US Bands/ Wally Wallah

I saw them last year, for the first time since 2003. The show was absolutely brilliant. For credibilities sake, it is important that at least one of the original members is on stage, but don’t let that put you off.

Pretty much how feel. Full disclosure, I did move to the US shortly before we moved to the Etihad, so I’ve only ever been there about once a season on average over the intervening years. In fact, I’ve been to more away games in that period, as my business trips to the UK are usually to the...

Blancmange - Feel Me

I think it’s 50:50, but even if there are, I can see it being proper banana-republic stuff, especially in the cities. Bomb-threats, polling station intimidation, and counting shenanigans.

Christ. That looks bad. Have to assume no one on the plane stood a chance, I just hope there wasn’t too many people on the ground, but that’s a huge area that’s on fire.

It should be ‘una rata’. Even though he is a male and the property of being a rat is being applied to him, noun genders in Spanish are not transitive.
