Yesterday there was another anti-lockdown protest in Melbourne, and another day where the place that I live has now degenerated into a police state. I watched as a line of police rushed up to a woman who seemed well into her 70s and had an Australian flag tied around her neck as she calmly...

The 2 best goal poachers I’ve ever seen were Gerd Muller and Jimmy Greaves - sadly they have both departed in the last few weeks.

England’s finest pure goal-poacher . . . RIP

Well given my circumstances, I'm a glass half empty at present, and I see nothing but a relegation scrap this season. 1. We have a paper thin squad that is seriously unbalanced. 2. We have no real goal threat at all - unfortunately we simply cannot be sure Raul can return to form. His...

Well I said a few weeks ago I thought we’d be in the relegation mix - this games confirms it.

Well tonight I rewatched a film I hadn't seen since it was first released way back in 1975 . . . Operation: Daybreak. The film details the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in Prague, the Nazi commander of the Reich Main Security Office and the acting governor of the Protectorate of Bohemia...

Effectively the country has fractured into 8 separate states and territories, with their own petty and hard COVID lockdowns and restrictions, that is causing untold mental health damage and is ripping families apart. We even had the pitifully sad spectacle on Father's Day last weekend of...

Under Gladys Berejiklian’s, the NSW Premier, much lauded dispensations, “Only fully vaccinated people and those with medical exemptions will have access to the freedoms allowed under the Reopening NSW roadmap.” For example, the Monday after the 70% target is reached, retail will be opened. Drool...

Yes that's right - in a few months time people from NSW and Victoria will be able to fly to, and return, to the UK, Europe and the USA before they will be able to enter a state in their own country . . . it's fucking insane. I fucking hate living in this country now.

Yup that’s right - some light at the end of the tunnel for NSW. Here in Melbourne we’re at 221 days of hard lockdown and still counting - looking at another 2 months of hard lockdown with no plan in sight in an indefinite lockdown.

Jean-Paul Belmondo, the great French actor and heart-throb, has passed away at 88 years old - RIP.

Yup . . . (I had previously nominated 15-17). Today, I had a look again at all the Premier league teams (nothing much else to do in lockdown Melbourne) and I reckon we're about 50/50 to go down. I have Norwich and Watford to go down, followed by either Newcastle and Wolves. The way the club...

163 league appearances for Wolves for 34 goals ie a goal every 5 games . . . pretty good IMO. Was always one of my favourites in my favourite Wolves team.

Agreed mate - was a very good player for us, and could score goals as well.

For those older Wolves fans, Jim McCalliog is releasing his autobiography “Wembley Wins Wembley Woes” and detailed below are the book signing venues around Wolverhampton. For the younger fans, Jimmy Mac was a top goal scoring attacking midfielder (Christ we could do with him now) for Wolves...

It just gets more and more depressing here in Melbourne . . . yesterday the Premier announced that the 6th lockdown is indefinite. There's a cloud of depression here in Melbourne that hangs over every locked-up inhabitant, a sense of helplessness that wafts like cheap perfume, even outdoors on...

Nice football can only get you so far . . . Major flaw of not scoring will lead to relegation. No killer instinct where it really matters in 3 games (albeit against good opposition).

Well today here in OZ there were 2 serious protests against the lockdowns held in Melbourne and Sydney which both became quite ugly and violent . . . I watched the coverage of the freedom protests with sadness but I do think it is inappropriate to hold such an event given the current...

Great to hear you’re feeling better, I can’t imagine what you’ve had to go through, given it’s been the shittiest 18 months ever for most of us. I thought I was mentally strong, but even I’m on medication now - more to do with settling my anger, given my utter contempt for the political class...

Great to see your back 👍 Missed the incisive analysis - although it’s a guest blog. Hopefully more to come 👌
