    Ex Player Watch

    Chance for him to play in the Champions League which I can't see him getting anywhere else. Probably drawn in by the massive qualifying games vs Linfield coming up in July

    I can't make it but went to check out the ticketing site pretty soon after it was announced and there was already a queue 10,000 strong with an estimated time over over an hour. Great to see that kind of take up, even for a Monday. All set up to be another cracking day

    Hell of a fightback this, Bairstow is on fire! Not watching anymore but can’t believe the run rate of these two “Statsguru is telling me than no player in the history of test cricket has ever made back to back 100s at better than a run a ball…" from ESPNcricinfo. They have now!

    Broad throwing a tantrum for a good 10-15 minutes about the ball not being changed. Finally gets it changed, sarcastically claps the umpire then takes a wicket 2 balls later 😂 Almost surprised it was held considering the chances we've put down so far

    Running

    Went for my first "run" since doing my ankle in January about 2 weeks ago, gentle 1km in 5:20. No issues (apart from lack of fitness!) so built up confidence with a few more similar runs before my first 5k in 5 months in 4:44/km. Feels amazing to be back at it, my mental health suffered...

    Things that annoy you

    Prefixing a club with their manager's name just because they were a big name i.e. Frank Lampard's Derby (now Wayne Rooney's Derby), BBC Sport announcing that "Kompany's Burnley start at Huddersfield" etc.

    Fixtures 22/23

    I'm away for that first game, camping in the Peak District with Dad, brothers and 5 year old niece. Going to be fun when they find out I've organised an early morning hike to a pub in Sheffield that happens to show Sky

    At the O2 Ritz in Manchester. My mate just moved up here and we both like them so will be a good chance for a catch up

    Have moved onto The Avalanches for the last few days as seeing them tomorrow night. Frontier Psychiatrist still stands up today, a creative masterpiece

    An absolutely belting album, as is Every Valley

    Fixtures 22/23

    The Athletic have done an article on how the fixtures are worked out, think this bit might explain it: As much as it pains the loyalist supporters of EFL clubs, some of those horrendously long away trips for Tuesday night matches are actually created on purpose. “We need to ensure clubs can...

    I even debated just doing the Sunday and flying out Friday night but a) needed to save money and b) couldn't get any of my mates on board

    Looked at tickets a couple of months ago but just couldn't make it work sadly, looks brilliant there

    What are you currently listening to?

    They're Icelandic so I'm not sure they're capable of being that mental 😅 Glass House, Hot Blood and Alter Ego are good songs to start with for a similar vibe

    Fixtures 22/23

    Haven't seen anything official but looks likely. There's a Rugby Sevens match there on the 30th June so safe to assume we won't be home for the first game. Then the Saturday after there's Wrestling all day so can't see them wanting 20k+ people rocking up for a footie match, or having to change...
