Middlesex have had a Nike kit for a couple of seasons but have gone for cheapy Castore from this year. Anyway, four weeks until the championship begins, the long range weather forecast looks OK (if you bring several layers). Tom Haines under performed last year and I hope might be one to watch...

What if beating Ajax away and Marseille at home was the peak of the Brighton and Hove Albion experience and we will now slowly return to being an upper mid table Championship side? It feels like that.

The rail replacement bus services I took from Three Bridges to Lewes and back went like relative shit off a shovel. My house in NW London suburbs to the Amex is normally three hours. It was three and a half today.

There is a brilliant Twitter account which scans old football programmes and magazines and posts the highlights. They’ve found one of uncertain vintage in which Fozzie is photographed with a blue and white (I assume) kangaroo sent by an Australian-based Brighton fan. Anyone know Niki Hassett...

So for Europe we realistically need four more home wins and one away win, and four away draws.

I was in the studio audience aged about 16. Thinking about it now (I am an actual TV journalist these days) it was indeed a lesson in presenting an argument that we didn't really grip that day. Bill Archer with an eye patch on down the line from Liverpool was absolutely mad TV, though. I...

On reflection he looks a bit like Norman Price from Fireman Sam, doesn’t he?

HE HAS SINGED

I'm not sure the country has clocked a possibility: if the King and William both die in the next ten years then Prince George is king, but while under 18 will need a regent. The Regency Act 1936 says it should be the next person in line of age. That's Harry. If a terrible attack at the cenotaph...

Ravi Shastri on commentary: "If someone went around the corner for a dump and has come back, India have been bowled out for 153" :LOL:

Does this take the Everton points deduction into account @Giraffe?

It is a triple England goalkeeper honours list. Peter Shilton becomes a CBE for services to football and the prevention of gambling harm. And Maddie Hinch is made MBE for services to hockey.

Fried breakfasts for under a tenner; pints for under £4; historic buildings preserved for public use; takings of £1.9 billion pounds though.

(OK it’s actually the 2024 NY honours, whoops)

Members of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) Anthony Grant Bloom. Chairman, Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club. For services to Association Football and to the community in Brighton. (London, London) George David Dowell. Owner, Worthing Football Club. For services to Association...

A cricket book, a shirt, and an Albion cycling jersey (which despite being 2XL only just fits me, I’m generally XL)

My favourite new fact I’ve learned about Carols from Kings this year:
