    Non - Merge in turn at roadworks

    So, Christchurch is once more bedevilled by roadworks. And in this instance it leads to a classic illustration of the British people and their love of queueing. Barrack Road Westbound. The nearside lane is coned off just past Magdalen Lane. But people are queueing up in the offside lane from...

    Non - Megavalanche 2023

    Megavalanche 2023 took place over the weekend. It's a mountain-biking event taking place in the Alps, starting from 3,330 metres descending 2,600 metres to the finish. 300+ riders start, but I don't know how many finish. Looks like a lot of fun if you like that sort of thing! This is how the...

    Non - TV Eye: Trouble at the Turnstiles (1982)

    Had a fascinating recommendation on YouTube: an old TV Eye programme on the cash crisis in the English game. With a high level of debt and three-quarters of clubs making a loss there's unrest in the higher levels of the game, and talk of a 'Super League' rears its head...

    Non - Bargates closure

    Heads-up to anyone who travels through Christchurch regularly: looking on Dorset Roadworks it seems that Bargates is going to be closed to traffic from Tuesday for three weeks. Expect increased journey times, particularly at rush-hour.

    The lad Murray on Eddie

    Speaking in his S*n column today he says of Eddie: Eddie Howe was the most tactical manager I have worked under. His meticulous approach created an adaptable group that moves fluidly between slight alterations of formations week in and week out. He is certainly the best coach at improving...
