    It’s one of those head-scratching days for me. Imagine your a sportswear manufacturer and you’ve got a supply contract with a football club with two significant milestones back-to-back - last season at their historic home, and first season in a...

    I work from home now and when I’m not travelling, I find a cheeky go on the PlayStation at lunch sets me up for the afternoon. When I used to be office based, I had an 11 o’clock break for my daily dump. This was fine for years until the company...

    Got back last Friday from a few days in Rome, walked 21 miles in 2 days, not great for someone who is 60 and had knee and back surgery. Off to Salou in September for my wife's 60th, she wanted to go there as never been there before. Went to...

    We went to Naples for a few days 2yrs ago. There’s some really nice buildings, museums and stuff in the city centre, but it is one of the dodgiest places I’ve ever been. I thought Pompei was mind blowing. San Gennaro catacombs was also great

    I’m giving it a crack tonight - like most people, no Everton = no interest, but it’s strangely perverse listening to the commentators trying to talk everything up for what is little more than a pre-season friendly in a stadium filled at...

    All of the above mate, the other thing is FIFA have been concerned about the power and Finance UEFA have developed in having the Champions League - footballs biggest money spinning competition. They’ve done this to try and wrestle some of that...

    It’s just a cash cow for FIFA - they and a lot of the other leagues/clubs around the world want the same level of cash UEFA generate from the Champions League. It’ll end up rattling back and forth between the US, Saudi and Asia just to drag the...

    This is my take on it. Genuinely, what's wrong with football ending in May (after the FA Cup, CL etc.) and not really starting again properly until mid-August? This goes on until mid-July, and in reality it's a glorified pre-season cup produced...

    Matterface says Pickford hasn’t had too much competition for his place? Only every English keeper who’s managed to keep a couple of clean sheets and then been talked up by the press every time there’s an international break.

    All depends on the additions we desperately need. I think a top 10 finish is a reasonable expectation based on where we’re coming from and a continual progression upwards.

    I think it’s beyond our present squad via league placing, but we should be able to make a serious cup run

    I’m really sorry for your loss. I think you recognise you need help - putting it out on here is just the first step, but the internet is not always ideal. Like a few have said, try and get to see someone to talk about it. Don’t rush or feel...
