I was told a few years ago that the other figure who gets a spike in viewing figures is Caroline Lucas. The difference is Farage keeps the show in the news for a couple of days after. Lucas gets people watching, but doesn't get the newspapers talking.

UKIP and Farage got exposure way beyond their popularity for years - it's an objective, evidence-based statement of fact that the coverage they had on the BBC, compared to the Greens who were electorally the same or more popular, was greater by several orders of magnitude. Imagine what the...

The North Stand is going to need a new big flag whoever is appointed. For Potter perhaps it could be all beige, with the inspiring "it is what it is" slogan

Does Graham Potter like milk? Anyone know?

I didn't go to school round here but have a fond memory of a psycho headteacher at my school pulling off his belt to whip and violently assault some boys, looping it, raising it over his head...and catching and ripping down the light fitting. When of course he then took out his increased rage on...

81 days until the season starts

Remembering the Leeds fans in among the home fans at the Amex last time and how disgusting and aggressive and homophobic they were I hate to think of them celebrating anything. So Saints for me.

Ten Hag should now engineer a loss with some obviously irrational substitutions just to get one back on all the United fans who have spent months calling for him to be sacked.

This scene is a five minute, single take tracking shot. An incredible bit of planning and choreography and acting with a cast of hundreds to make it work, and all with only one chance to get it right because of the position of the sun. All the little stories that play out in each moment - best...

One concern I've got with the suggestions made of splitting the away fans is that in future it'll diminish the visual impact of all the Palace fans abandoning their support for their team and going home at half time.

I don't think is such a bad idea from that motivational point of view. He'll be wanting to show them the error of their ways by beating the massive financial fair play cheating talent-hoovering false success story blood-money immoral scum best team in the world in a cup final, and the...

It makes me feel a bit nauseous. Not so much the Lib Dem bit, but because I'm forced into the same voting universe as the worst Trumpist/B****t/UKIP voting person voting not for someone who necessarily stands for the same things as them, but instead voting for someone who is against the same...

It's my favourite album of all time. I can't imagine how amazing it must be to be hearing it totally fresh for the first time ever after so many years!

A month before Bozza had his stuff nicked a 24 year old De Zerbi had played in a 4-4 thriller for Foggia away at ASG Nocerina in Italy's Serie C2. Looks like a fun game. His team were 1-0 down in the first minute, then in a way that feels very...erm...Italian football of the time they scored 4...

Tactical Lib Dem to remove the Tory

I might be remembering wrong but I think De Zerbi may not have loved the English weather, and looking at the grey and rain outside now if he has any other offers I can't imagine him being too enticed with the absolute circus at Chelsea, reuniting with Caicedo and Sanchez, the absolute state of...

Yes for football reasons. Also yes for Chelsea fan meltdown reasons, especially if RDZ goes there and we end up beating them next season.

Pascal Gros's goal at Old Trafford in September for me. Early enough in the season to give a glimpse of what we might achieve, 30 passes, United rendered clueless, their fans stunned, and one of those multi generational stranger hugging crowd surging moments that just felt special.

I've worked with a few professions that refer to "three legged stool" as if it's unique to them and has a common understanding. "70:20:10" is another one. Not only does it not help understanding it potentially creates misinterpretations too. The bell cheeses.
