Thanks. Some research suggests 2016-17 but the colour blocks were reversed then? Anyway, it was a hell of squad we had that season with some notable wins and awful defeats.

Nah, my sock game has deserted me on this one. It has an early 2010s vibe but I’m stumped.

Hmm, that’s a Diadora logo, so four seasons to chose from. I’ll go 2008-09. Very Tommy Smith those socks. I might have a jersey somewhere with his autograph on.

The IOC firmly plants itself on the wrong side of history. I hope the individual sports federations do the right thing.

Opportunist scum. Let’s make sure in four years that they retain their richly deserved places in the political wilderness.

2020-21?

Dear old Nige, channelling his inner Oswald. Grifters gotta grift.

Thanks Steve!

And the answer he gave was “no”. Fat boy Johnson should this morning be worrying about bending over to pick up the soap he’s just dropped in the prison showers.

As a head of probation in a largely white, very ‘English’ Midlands town once told me, “the definition of a virgin here is any six year old girl who can run faster than her uncle.” A horrible but telling ‘joke’.

Amazing and alarming. There were twice as many people who voted to remain or didn’t vote (and might be assumed to be neutral or happy with the status quo?). He’s chasing a dwindling group who won’t come back or move to Labour. Why have neo-fascist light when you can have full fat version in Farage?

From my side of the Atlantic, and watching with horror as dictators gather to have a fest in China, Trump hasn’t made America great again - in ten months he’s made it practically irrelevant on the world stage. Ineptitude at warp speed.

That’s really sad news. Whenever he was on screen I always felt a role was in good hands. I particularly enjoyed him in Wind River, although of course he was prolific and there will be many other lasting testimonies to his excellence in his craft.

He is denser than a dark star. A man who makes jokes about date-drugging his wife. Rayner will have him for breakfast. He epitomises the decade + of missing every single house building target by a country mile. Baddenoch has screwed him with this brief.

One of those players etched into my memory from those far away childhood days, nose pressed through railings surrounding the dog track, watching my gold(ish) and black dressed heroes. RIP Brian. Never forgotten.

Which kinda tells us a good deal about the MLS.
