Those stats are not worth the time of day if they think we've had a crowd of 12,000-odd in the league.

Went to Wembley to see the Bills. Gutted after coming back that they still managed to lose the game in the time-honoured Bills manner, but with Watkins, Taylor, Williams and all their other players coming back from injury, especially in the OL, they look like they may still make a run at a Wild...

Sky1, 8pm on Mondays. Aimed much more squarely at grown-ups, no less superb for it.

I know it's on Sky, but a mention here for The Muppets. I can't be doing with all those long series, too much investment of time into what's only television. The Muppets has been excellent - the Swedish Chef's karaoke in the post-work drinking session in this week's show was a thing of...

I thought that one would come up. They've had to import refs for it in the past, including George Courtney on one occasion I seem to remember. I've been to Man Utd v Liverpool three times, I've been to Arsenal v Spurs and Chelsea v QPR (back when they were evenly matched). Of the ones I've not...

Perfectly put, Gulliver's. I don't see any reason to be embarrassed about a moment's expression of kinship with supporters - we leant hard on that kinship during the darkest days. I certainly usually join in. (Yesterday was not one of those usual days.) You don't want to clap, don't clap. But...

Before a ball was kicked in anger this season, when asked who'd struggle, his reply was 'anybody who finished just above the line last season'. If you cover every possibility over the course of a few months' worth of predictions, one of them will be accurate by definition.

Still no banner for the Bristol City game. Do hope it isn't going to end up going the way of the REMF flag.

It's the principle for me, Easy. I downgraded the moment I got the email because they wanted to charge me, as was eventually always going to happen, for something they'd made a great deal of noise about being free. So they were asking me, to keep the baseball, which I do care about, to be one of...

I went three times last season, including that Maidstone game, and all three were over 1500. Average over last season was over 1400 I think, and most clubs bring very, very little in the way of away support. Easy to scoff at them but watching football with a beer in your hands, standing up, is a...

I see one of the others is Mason at Cardiff. Weren't we strongly linked with him a while back?

Good price, terrible suitor. He's integral, and he's started the season in good form. We must not sell good players to divisional rivals.

FWIW Naylor has, in the last few minutes, tweeted that he doesn't think Newcastle have made a bid.

Story's been picked up by other websites too now.

I don't think you can reasonably compare the standard of striker you meet in the Championship against those in the German top flight, and even if you could you'd still have to think about the whole strength of Paderborn's squad against the established sides in the Bundesliga. The best player in...

I know, I know. Sorry, Hans.

There are several caveats to this, but: if he actually signs. If he's not a replacement for Dunk. If he's as good as the online noise suggests. Etc etc. I know he's a centre half, not the mythical-20-goal-a-season-man-everybody-wants-but-isn't-really-available, but I'm going to allow myself to...

Get to near front of queue in West Lower around 7pm. Still a few pies about, wait hasn't been too bad, with our group splitting in two to cover two queues in case one moved really slowly. Woman in front of me asks for a pack of Opal Fruits, or whatever the hell they're called these days. Bloke...

About what I expected from Channel 5; utter sh1te. Switched it off before it was finished. A completely unnecessary studio audience (which I've always hated in football shows - they only work on something like Fantasy Football where it's supposed to be funny), and Virgs, bless him, about as...
