Had a barbecue yesterday and, because it gets dark relatively early, I rigged up some tea lights in jam jars. That lead to talk about Bournemouth Illuminations back in the day. My memory is of 1000s of tea lights in what looked like fish paste jars. If so, where were they kept in the winter...

Yet another masterclass, this time the ticket prices for Everton. Although the way Everton are playing perhaps they do charge more for seats with a restricted view.

They’ll be playing their home matches at Wimborne Town, starting tomorrow at 1pm. https://www.afcb.co.uk/news/development-squad/watch-development-squad-at-wimborne/

I understand the concept of a buyback clause: club A have a promising talent who for whatever reason doesn’t fit their current needs. So they sell him to club B for, say, £10 million with an obligation that club B must sell him back to them in two year’s time at a pre agreed price of, say, £30...

Mepham & Moore start. Brooks on the bench. IMHO we should be considering Ampadu for the DM slot to replace Lerma. Chelsea will certainly be selling him, probably quite cheaply, this summer. Live on S4C, which you can stream on BBC iPlayer. The commentary is in Welsh but if John Hartson is a...

Shocked to hear he has died suddenly. Seemed a lovely guy. I appreciated the work he did to promote animal welfare and rescue centres. RIP.

Personally I think this season has been mostly shite and very depressing. However we appear to be competing for players with AC Milan and are, apparently, looking to recruit a youngster from Boca Juniors. Meanwhile Swindon’s manager has left to take over at Crawley, taking some of their...

So, if the Telegraph is right, Moyes will be sacked by West Ham if they lose to Everton. If Moyes is available, then Everton will replace Lampard with Moyes. If you were Moyes, what would you do?

A thread for those who may have missed the original recommendations. I‘ve heard “Breaking Bad” was good.
