Fecking hilarious and I speak as a United fan. Well done Grimsby. Well deserved. Get that one trick Manager and that clown of a goalkeeper out of my club. Big 6 pointer now on Saturday.

Early Sunday morning blackberrying is my new jam. Literally says C. Just me and the early dog walkers. 3 and a half pounds there. Could hardly get the lid on.

I found a David Cassidy one in an Oxfam shop circa 1975. Yes of course I bought it.

Metaphorically I'm having a net as I limber up to write a lengthy piece on cricket for the Not A Blog section of my website later this summer. In the meantime here's a 1976 diary entry from Ken Tynan.
