Would've loved to go see us play against Köln in Graz. Unfortunately, no direct flights on that day. Live stream it is, then.

The Wednesday home shirt: Why do they still persist with that ugly club crest?

Our Social Media team has gone missing for about a year now. They were replaced by cheap labour from further abroad.

And now for the pronounciation: See, few antes!

Can't wait for the matchday... programme.

LCFC management: "Let's get the most discount shirt design of all shirt designs." Adidas: "Can do. May we suggest KBet as the main sponsor? They really have a knack for getting the most out of people."

Well done Chelsea, better team won on the day. Although the scoreline should've been even higher, if only Delap hadn't been so wasteful in front of goal. I don't like PSG. Just as bland a success story as Bayern. SImply roo dominating for their respective domestic league (I also blame the remaining teams for cocking it up on a regular basis).

Well, it's the first time in this (quadrennial) format. And I can't recall much fuss about it when it was played on a yearly basis. Also, it only partially overlaps with the Women's Euro competition.

Finally got into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It's a really pretty game, great graphics, wonderful soundtrack, challenging, but fair combat system, intriguing storyline and interesting characters. However... I'm neither a fan of the beta male protagonist (he gets a bun as a first optional haircut before setting sails, ffs) nor the boss babe mentality displayed by the female characters. And it's obviously a rather "French" game – the main quest hasn't even started yet, and they already talk about sex behind closed doors and previous relationships/affairs. And then there are the Mimes. You can tell there were a lot of women involved in the development. :

It's still rather messed up the club can't even communicate pre-season friendlies or more details about the training camp ahead of time. There has always been a decent following traveling abroad.

I got the year wrong, the news were from 2016...

Has nobody mentioned the dates of our stay in Austria yet? Still no update on the club website or on Social Media.

One could argue this Club World Cup offers a great pre-season experience – and a decent chunk of (price) money. I don't get it – why complain when you're in the final? Obviously, you and your team had to take it seriously to some extent.

Failed at upkeeping my bamboo for more than two years. Plant is more thirsty than I expected. I also couldn't maintain lavender. Grows in other parts, greatly exposed to the sun. But not on my balcony.

Also, what are the odds of us announcing our 2025/26 kits last in the Championship? We're four weeks away from the first league game. To me. that's just another marketing blunder.

I personally think they offer much more customization. I wouldn't mind Macron or Umbro, either. With Adidas, you typically have to adhere to their stripes in the design. Also not a big fan of that rather dominant and clunky three-stripes logo.

Can't wait for this Adidas kit deal to end. Apart from the retro range (see Germany national team), their shirts are ultra-bland. Would love for us to go back to Puma.

36 matches so far at this Club World Cup, the first one with the new setup, and we're blaming one freak injury on a whole tournament? I'm not necessarily a big fan of pre-season competitions, but this CWC has been rather enjoyable. It's not as if Musiala's inclusion was Kompany's and his staff's decision.

Did we actually play in the training kit?

Derby County home:

Virginia Madsen's tribute message to her older brother says it all. We've lost a legend, an iconic actor, a heavyweight in film. Gone too soon. R.I.P.

Hooked on the original Mission: Impossible TV series (1966 to 1973). Got the Blu-ray boxset for cheap recently. Not every episode is golden, but there's plenty of stories that have really stood the test of time rather well. The most interesting aspect in most episodes are the measures taken by the IMF team in order to accomplish their mission.

It's the 20th anniversary of "Z" – My Morning Jacket's best, most complete album:
