Entitled: 'Doodling crowned fantasy jellyfish as a survival mechanism while someone drones on about interfacing with dynamic logistical solutions.'

Very entertaining and impressionistic book, which is rare for a pre-World Cup publication cunningly timed to come out just before the World Cup - a time when few people, paradoxically, are much interested in reading books about the World Cup.

This one was my favourite together with Cinder Park Refugees. But the whole book was great. I tried to read it one story per day so I could enjoy it over the whole week.

DAZN-Abo stornieren - es ist eine echte Befreiung. Sky auch dazu. (Und dann €80 monatlich sparen.)

Alle in den letzen Jahren von der Eintracht hofierten Fans in Amerika wissen es schon: SG steht natürlich für Soccer Guys.

I was banking on Gryffindor, but it’s tending towards Slytherin.

Is he going to get Trump to rescind his red card? „Cristiano never touched the guy, fake foul!“

Almost a decade on and it only takes one attempt to post a small parcel to the UK from Germany to trigger me into shouting at innocent passers-by, "Fuck fucking Brexit and all the fucking fuck-wits that voted for it!" €17 worth of frustration.

I hope the game stopped for a minute's silence at every corner-kick.

The ninth story in my new collection 'The Last Amateur' is about a player "in the shop window" after a decent World Cup. It's time for lunch to discuss the no doubt lucrative future with his eager, pushy agent... Available from @halcyonpublish1.bsky.social, @wsc.co.uk or @stanchionbooks.bsky.social

Tricky to time it if the ball’s in the crowd or the ballboy‘s asleep or not close by - better to leave it at ref‘s discretion.

Add: "If the referee deems that time is being deliberately wasted by the team in possession, the throw-in will be awarded to the other team and a minute added to stoppage time." (Also, automatically add two minutes stoppage time for any yellow card shown for time-wasting.)
