    [Cricket] Eng v Ind 3rd Test Headingley 25 - 29 Aug

    Could there be a better day? I saw the score was 19 for 2, then was busy at work until the early afternoon. Next time I looked we were batting...

    [Albion] Bennett's Field no longer available - no parking season tickets

    I really don't like parking at the Bridge - it's very aggravating trying to leave and the air is terrible with all the fumes. It's not fun if you're waiting. But I don't think there are any easy answers. I've tried almost everything we can think of - several dedicated coaches, all of the park...

    [Sussex] Birling Gap cliff rock slide

    Back in the 1990s I used to walk fairly often round under the cliffs from Birling Gap round to Eastbourne and back, paying a lot of attention to the tide before setting off. It's really lovely there, but not an easy walk. There was always a range of ages on the fallen chalk, but this fall seems...

    Is it infinite substitutes today?

    [Albion] Luton away - 31st July - tickets

    I'd much rather there were mistakes today than later... and it was nice to see Enoch Mwepu get a goal, made it look easy. Maybe Burn is injured...

    [Misc] Thunderstorms kicking off.....................

    I was walking on the downs around Amberley and I got tipped on with torrential rain three times - the third lot had lighting and thunder too. I discovered that when you're on the open downs at the top you can get soaked through very quickly.

    Let's hope he can get back to his best after after whatever rest he needs.

    [Misc] Will we have another lockdown ?

    For the known variants of Covid-19? No, I don't think we'll have any more lockdowns. For an unknown variant there's a chance that there will be a lockdown in the future, certainly. For a different disease at some point in the future? There is an almost 100% certainty that there will be a new...

    [Politics] Who would have been the perfect leader to take us through this pandemic

    As a leader - I think Tony Blair or Thatcher would have been excellent - they have been the best leaders (not that that means I support their policies) we've had for over 50 years. Boris is well suited to a thriving economy and bustling location - you can see why he was mayor of London. But a...

    [Politics] Ping! Bollocks - I need to self-isolate...

    I wouldn't want them to - we want a balanced decision on freedom/responsibility/safety from this and a host of other potential dangers. For example, I worry about Covid sometimes, but I actually worry a lot more if my children are being driven around by their friends - because statistically I...

    [Albion] Undisclosed transfer fees

    Ah, right. Then even more incentive for clubs to keep schtum about the actual amounts individually. I guess the times when clubs don't is when they want to make clear that they are spending a lot.

    [Politics] Ping! Bollocks - I need to self-isolate...

    How many people who get pinged are actually isolating, I wonder? And how many people for the nice week ahead are saying they need to isolate and not bothering to go to work when they can spend some time outside? With the app it's easy to both delete it and also to just turn contact tracing off...

    [Albion] Undisclosed transfer fees

    Why do any clubs announce prices if they don't have to? But I would have thought the figures would be available in the accounts in the end? If not, it would be liable for corruption, surely...

    [Football] Hurt

    It doesn't feel as bad to me - especially as we drew the match and then lost on penalties, Back in the 1990s the upset (for me) was that we thought we could win it if we got to the final, as we'd've had a very good chance against the other finalists. But there - and here - we lost to the...

    [Football] Italy V England Final.

    The first 30 minutes were great - but then it started to feel like a re-run of the Croatia match. We did better than we did then, but it still wasn't good enough. We improved in extra time, but you do wonder if we shouldn't have tried to do that earlier. With the goalkeeper they had, I was not...

    [Football] Anyone else enjoying the Euros super-speedy VAR reviews?

    It shows (to me) that VAR can work. The emphasis has to be on the ref's decision and whether there is an obvious error. If there is not, the decision stands. Same for offside: was it given on the pitch? If not, is it obviously wrong? If not, the decision stays as it was. Much quicker to do...

    [Football] Why was Grealish subbed off after 20 odd minutes last night?

    It's a consequence of being allowed six substitutes (including extra time). You can do that kind of thing - a small way towards the American Football offence/defence players. You can't blame the manager from taking advantage of the rules.

    [Football] England v Denmark - Former World Champions v Former European Champions - Official Thread

    I was so drained this morning after that. I don't fancy our chances in the final but that kind of optimism has got us this far.

    [Football] Euro 2020 final. BBC or ITV?

    I thought at least one person would choose ITV. But no.
