Never mind £City v £PSG, Walsall v Salford might be best game I’ve seen this season. No twattery, just football.

Hugh Morris and John Kear gone within six months. Different people, different sports, but two of the best, nicest, most helpful and inspirational people to touch my working/sporting life. RIP JK #cymru

Almost as good as the cup final celebration @KCLynchey

That’s it. Still August and nothing will top that this season.

Copernicus decides whether another Dukes ball needs changing #salzburg #notcricket

Staying in smallish German village. Fewer than ten shops, but two of them dedicated to lederhosen. #notonyournelly

Our far from gullible 10-y-o never believes the ‘facts’ I make up for his amusement. But I may have convinced him Panathinaikos is actually a Greek exclamation of shock and surprise, adopted as club name after a cup upset in amateur days. Panathinaikos!! #properparenting

Craig Gill, Brad Bradbury and now Rick Buckler. The drummers of my youth. RIP all. #TheJam

My office wall. Two kings. Only one player above Eric in my heart.

The King is dead. Heartbroken.

Apart from goals, there’s no greater joy for football fans than the ref falling over.

USA only third in shooting?!?

Craig Shakespeare. Only 60. Awful news. RIP.

Not sure how you compare @andy_murray with Best, Law, Dalglish, Cook, Anderson, Hanley, Boston, Edwards (x2), Redgrave, Hamilton etc, but he’s right up there. Certainly our greatest I can think of in an individual sport. Deserves every plaudit.

Wrongly chose to miss right old game at Wigan for a spot of Europop. And a horse.

Fireworks going off here. Does Manchester even have a Spanish quarter? #etihad ?

Oranges are not the only fruit
