I see Ashley Cole is today being inducted into "The Premier League Hall of Fame". He is one of only 10 players to have won the Premier League with more than one club. Can you name any of the other nine?

Fixture in L2 tonight must constitute what Barrow might call a local derby. As the crow flies, Barrow to Morecambe is just 14 miles. To drive between the two, however, is just shy of 50 miles!

I see areas of Devon and Cornwall are currently experiencing some very high-intensity slow moving storms, with rainfall greater than 32mm per hour in places. That will all be coming downhill fast in the next few hours. God forbid a repeat of Boscastle.

40 Years ago this very day, AFCB played away at Wigan Athletic, @RobTrent was a welcome passenger in my car. Will never forget the stunned silence at the breaking news whilst we were at Knutsford Services that the Argies had sunk HMS Sheffield. The game was a forgettable 1-1 draw, and Jim...

The Wee Turd (aka Judas Turncoat) has pulled up lame and been subbed just 10 minutes into tonight's game. That could be his season/Newcastle career finished. One can but hope.

Chelsea. Change your goalkeeper in the final minute of extra time, because he's a "penalty-saving specialist". 21 successful penalties later, guess who missed. Dodgy Kepa!

Not suggesting that any impropriety has gone on, but our 100% record in games refereed by KS is beginning to look a bit suspicious. 12 games, 12 victories - 1 on a penalty shoot-out. With his local connections, I reckon it's only a matter of time before he is "disqualified" from officiating AFCB...

I think it's fair to say that if VAR was deployed in the Championship, Helik of Barnsley would have had his 90th minute yellow card upgraded. Absolutely shocking challenge, connected above the knee, which the referee must have "seen" if he gave him a yellow. Unless, of course, he was taking a guess!

I need to get an early night tonight (for a Friday) but I find myself engulfed with feelings of utter disbelief towards the way this poor helpless child was so horrendously treated in the latter stages of his tragically short life. I should be going to bed tonight happy that AFCB have battled...

Surely the end has arrived for Mr McCarthy?

How on earth does the VAR allow that 2nd goal for France to stand? It is completely irrelevant that the ball has glanced off a Spanish defender, because at the moment Griezmann plays the through-ball, Mbappe is clearly in an offside position. Bloody ridiculous.

If Brighton win at their arch-enemies Palace on Monday evening, they'll be sitting pretty at the top of the EPL with everyone having played 6 games, which despite our "rivalry" with our distant south coast neighbours, merits a little bit of praise and respect in my opinion. OK, they've not faced...

No matter how tenuous the reasons might be, which other club or clubs do you have an unusual particular disliking of, and why? I'll begin with Mansfield Town, after some chump tried to steal my scarf when I was about 10.
