One of THEM days. Days when several of the things you've ordered which are gonna shatter your fragile bank account into tiny fragments arrive all at once. In life you win some, you lose some. Still I can, at least, write them off against tax as legitimate "business expenses"!

Keith Telly Topping, why are you taking ANOTHER day off from writing your latest world-class tome to meet up with Young Malcolm for an afternoon of food, fun and frivolity? To which, of course, the answer - as usual - is that we both (but, especially me) REALLY DESERVE THIS. Clear now?

Today's "I will not celebrate meaningless milestones" column. From The North's had its 15-millionth page-hit since records began (2006). Meaning, one dear fiend has been visiting the blog for 19 years in the hope of finding porn. Sorry for the numerous bitter disappointments, whomsoever you are.

Current Premier League standings according to the FA website. Another disappointing season for Man United and (especially) Spurs, seemingly. Shock first title for Bournemouth, Brentford in the Champions League, Burnley in Europe and Sunderland manage to avoid relegation - who would've guessed?
