Clear and obvious? VAR getting too involved again. Joke decision robbing Chelsea. Another joke decision. But it's beyond a joke now. Swedish football has rejected var and it's about time we did the same.

“So What”

THE SOUND OF MILES DAVIS (1959)

A live TV Show recorded at Studio 61 in NYC.

The amount Chelsea have spent to finish mid table.

One of the greatest photos in Jazz history.

Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Roy Haynes, and Charlie Parker - at The Open Door, Greenwich Village in 1953.

My favourite things - John Coltrane, 1961

BREAKING: The pitch-side microphones have picked up what was said during the argument between Salah and Klopp 😱😱

When 'activism' merges with narcissism, it's less about the cause and more about the ego.

Happy Arbor Day! 🌲 Red pandas are arboreal, meaning they spend most of their time in trees.

In fact, they tend to only ground themselves when it is absolutely necessary! 🐾

🤔 Can you think of any reasons why a red panda might leave the safety of the trees?

The 5-0 defeat to Arsenal was Chelsea's heaviest London derby defeat since 1986. It's also Arsenal's biggest win over Chelsea in all competitions.

Chelsea would be better off if they had Samuel Jackson up front

The Coventry fans and players are going to have get used to what fans of PL teams have had to get used to - that you can't really celebrate a goal the way you did in the past. The in-the-moment spontaneity of a celebration has gone.

During lockdown, I wrote 30k words about VAR and measurement theory. No-one wanted to publish it - they all said it was mad.

But offsides like this Coventry one mean I can't stop thinking about it.

3 major issues.

On the evening of Sunday August 21 1944 Roy Farran & his 2SAS sqn stopped at a remote farm in Burgundy at the start of Operation Wallace.
I visited the farm on Friday.
Little has changed since the Garrioux family told the SAS they were welcome to stay the night in the yard.

Not one person on the planet believed Nicolas Jackson was going to finish that chance

The Prince of Wales has today attended a private memorial service for Major Mike Sadler, the last original member of the SAS, at Hereford Cathedral. He was awarded the polar medal, military medal and military cross for his service. He died at the age of 103 in January.

Anders Lassen, VC, MC & two bars was not a man who wasted words.
After one SBS raid against a German-occupied Aegean island he submitted his operational report.
‘Landed. Killed Germans. F**ked Off.’
On this day, April 19, in 1944 Lassen & an SBS unit set out for Santorini.
