York City have unveiled next season’s shirt, featuring a rune version of the club name, in collaboration with the Jorvik Viking Centre. Unfortunately you don’t want to mess with York’s fanbase when it comes to runes.

I am very (very) aware that being a radio show host and being a compère are two different jobs, linked only by a similar skillset.
Even so, I can't help but feel that the tabloid headline writers have missed a trick today.

On this day in 1984:
Anderlecht beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 (3-2 on agg) in the UEFA Cup semi-final second leg.
Dodgy refereeing decisions went against Brian Clough’s men, including this penalty award.
In 1997, it was revealed that the ref had received £18,000 to fix the match.

If you'd have walked me down the York City squad list in 2009 and said one of them would be interim manager of a Premier League side one day, Simon Rusk's name would *not* have been high up my guess list.

My 7-year old asked if we were allowed to say the word "Africa" cos it "has the 'f-word' in it".
He thinks the 'f-word' is "frick".
I hope he stays this age forever.

The Leicester hat-trick was NOT a one-off. Those kind of goals came every few games. Best first touch I've ever seen live and like ice in front of goal.
Not got the pace, aerial power or defensive work to be considered the greatest ever but devastating to any defence and joyous to watch.

The 7 year old was narrating a match between 2 fantasy 11s we'd drawn up. Apparently, Ronaldo and George Best were fighting for the ball when Pele missed a tackle, allowing Haaland to score from halfway, because Schmeichel had left his box to play in a defensive midfield role.
