Terrible snobs too, they never give the ordinary working man a fair crack of the whip. |

I was on holiday in Spain a couple of years ago, and rented a “Citroën Picasso or similar”, which turned out to be a mystery Chinese model. While it looked just like an ordinary car, it performed the basic functions - steering, acceleration, braking - very slowly and only after a disconcerting delay. Reminded me of Bob Malcolm. |

RIP to Johnny McEvoy, he provided the soundtrack to hundreds of our car journeys in the 70s.

Watching Ruddock and Jones tag-teaming on lanky Kevin Francis of Oxford in a dismal but vital 1-1 draw took me back to the golden days of ITV Wrestling. Tally-Ho Kaye theatrically pleading his innocence in front of the referee, while behind his back Skull Murphy stamps on the head of the Dynamite Kid. Then they change over. |

At the other end of the scale, classical conductor Herbert Blomsted, gone at 99. His last concert was in April, where he had to stop halfway through. They brought out an armchair and he finished conducting the piece from it.

I saw him at the Royal Festival Hall about two years ago. He barely made it across the stage, had to be helped up to the podium and then conducted for 40 minutes. Then he came back for a longer second half. |

Furlong was an unpopular loan (one goal, a rebound off his arse) who became an unpopular signing, then a great one. |

Thanks Clive, I’d managed to forget Kone managing to miss the touchline from the kick off, truly a portent. I agree on the ref too, it was shame the penny didn’t drop that if you’re getting nothing for diving, maybe stop diving. Unfortunately his career will be held back by the fact that he’ll never be allowed to referee an Arsenal game.
Burnley, dear God, if you were looking to attempt a promotion challenge, you wouldn’t touch any of this lot - faint hearts or old legs. They all look like they want to be anywhere else, but who’d have them? |

Vale has had back trouble throughout his career, and that’s how looked last night. Very slow on the turn and reluctant to sprint. |

I thought Kamara was good for the first 70 minutes, apart from his complete refusal to shoot. He must have been sick of the ball in the first half, he was taking it off Burnley so easily in the first half. He tired and they passed better in the second.
The frustrating thing about last night is that Burnley were so atrocious in the first half. It wasn’t that they set up to wall off their box and work hard frustrating us, they were a lethargic rabble, but we cluttered up the middle and tried to play pinball passing in small areas when there was no need, they were standing off waiting for someone else to do something. We should have been stretching them out and running at them to draw them in and create space that way. To be fair to them, they actually made an effort to run around and keep the ball in the second. |

Solid in defence and got more going on the left with Saito than Adamson and Vale managed on the right, which was pretty much nothing. [Post edited 4 Nov 8:15]

The lack of flexibility in our approach frustrated me tonight. The no look instant flicks round the corner are a great way to open up a team trying to swarm the man receiving the ball, but with Burnley largely standing off waiting for someone else to do some running meant the balls into space generally went straight to a surprised defender. Yet we persisted with the tactic even though we changed some of the personnel in the second half.
Burnley left huge amounts of space on their left, but a combination of Adamson’s timidity about getting too far forward and Vale’s sluggishness meant we didn’t trouble them there at all. At least Cirkin was more adventurous. It was crying out for Smyth to go wide right for a few minutes and try to take them on, but it didn’t happen. |

I didn’t know much about her, but it’s an incredibly sad story. Reminiscent of Lillian Board, who died in 1970, barely two years after winning an Olympic silver and a year after a European gold. She was only 22. I’m not sure what it means that deadly illness can creep up on athletes in their prime so swiftly, except perhaps they accept daily discomfort as part of the price of their success.
