I wonder what gave them the idea…

Very good. If you know, you know.

Very well, thank you. Should have it finished by the summer.

It always looks like at least two or three of them have been photoshopped in. And every year Sergio moves further and further back right. By 2027 he’ll be in the kitchen.

The only possible choice for the turntable tonight. He was 23. 23! Vale, maestro.

A match and a tournament that reinvented cricket. Only 16 ODIs had previously been played. With more than a little help from Kerry Packer two years later, the game was never the same again.

Some thoughts for The Athletic on the biggest contest in the FIFA Club World Cup - the battle to win over new fans. nytimes.com/athletic/64400…

Flicking between the Lionesses and Wimbledon on BBC1 & 2. Huge gulf in comms quality. Andrew Cotter world class (as always), Lionesses comms basically just cheerleaders.

Watching #LiveAid40 bringing back vivid memories of being there. Hot AF, took me 2/3 days to recover. Old Wembley falling to bits even then. And Queen killing it not just because they played bangers (obvs) but also because they were so well-rehearsed.

The greatest format of the greatest game conjuring its magic and mystery yet again.

Still miss Sportsweek. In the same time slot we now have the radio equivalent of the One Show. One of the Beeb’s poorest programming decisions.

Very honoured to have had a visit from the mighty Stewart Lee earlier. One of our heroes and a man who really knows his music. He’s on tour now with his Stewart Lee versus The Man-Wulf show, go see!

Ricey would have loved this…

We’re not quite at hang it in The Louvre stage, but five wins in a row will do very nicely for now. #FCHT

5 years later he’d become one of the key figures behind the creation of World Series Cricket.

With justification this is being talked about as the greatest individual performance in baseball history. I’ve been trying to work out the cricket equivalent. 10 wickets and a century in a T20 seems about right.

The full football scene from the great film ‘Kes’ I think we can all relate to some of this when we were at school. Picking teams, standing in a line, the worst players picked last, everyone wearing different kits, some swinging on the bar, goalmouths full of mud and a teacher

One of the great albums.
