Well, I've taken the badge off for the last time. No longer a member of @surreycricket GC, always a member of #petermayboys, home & away. Thanks to all who voted for me in 2020, it's been an honour & a privilege. "A hotel built, a pandemic & 2 County Championships" ©M. Eadon.😁

Happy Birthday, Butch! @markbutcher72.

Finally, European football under the floodlights in SE25. And a damp squib on the pitch, struggling to break down the visitors' low block. We did at least win, but not by enough to give us the cushion I would have liked for the 2nd leg. Great to meet up with Wiz pre-match .#cpfc

RT @mrjimBob: OUT NOW! Two new Jim Bob albums. Available from @CherryRedGroup @RoughTrade @BanquetRecords @residentmusic @Bandcamp or where….

Have to say how much I approve of the addition of 'You fat b*****d" to the "F*** UEFA" song, heard very loudly last night, and, I am told, on C5. As a @carter_usm & #cpfc fan, I was always going to approve & I hope @mrjimBob feels the same 😁. #uefamafia.#marinakis.

And so it comes to Selhurst Park. May take a while to get in tonight. #cpfc.

In which 'running again after a ban' @KieranMaguire & 'no Monty Python fan' @kevinhunterday talk of: Barbara Windsor & ball girls; motorbikes & Skids; Locomotives & bicycles; Martini & Shakira; banshees & mermaids; trees & hedges; Lyon & El CASsico.

Very enjoyable &, in the end, sunny afternoon at @Banstead_CC for a Rory Burns' Testimonial Year event. Rory of course started his career at Banstead (hence 'The Banstead Lara'), & he played for both sides (31 & 33) in the T20 match between the Banstead Allstars & a Surrey XI.

NLS; @ChipTownFC 1 Weston-super-Mare 2 (HT 0-1); att. ~780. Excellent attendance for midweek game; less than excellent performance; the immutable law of the ex; winning goal scored by somebody who shouldn't have been on the pitch by then; but no complaints about the result.

In which 'goofing about within 1m of the mic' @KieranMaguire & 'flirting with conspiracy theories' @kevinhunterday talk of: David Bockham & André Hilt; astronauts & archaeologists; Swiss vaults & combination locks; chips & salad; frozen & grilled; Pornhub & green dildos.

RT @PoorEPLreferees: Yes, that should have been a penalty for Crystal Palace after Robert Sanchez hit Marc Guehi with a superman punch to t….

I always enjoy catching up with these. Thanks as ever to @SpillsSport.

National League South, Ebbsfleet United 1 @ChipTownFC 0 (HT 0-0); att 1275. Small margins. We only have 1 point after 2 games against pre-season favourites, where we could and should have had 4. Hey ho. On to Weston at home on Tuesday. #prideandpassion

V pleasant day with @AG_Smithy in glorious sunshine at ever-lovely @FACCC_Cricket, run superbly by @JamesRufey. @LordsTaverners (inc Rob Andrew & a spin-bowling Andy Caddick) were hosted by Duke of Norfolk's XI, who won. Good to meet Elena Narozanski, Jess & Josh Stapleton.

In which 'a monkey, not a pineapple' @KieranMaguire & 'no fan of Simon Jordan' @kevinhunterday talk of: Kelly Cates & Lisa Simpson; bridling & bristling; small violins & tin ears; cats & fish tanks; schlepping & Sheeran. Always excellent, never BAFTA-winning.

Lily Allen starring in 'Hedda' at the @TheatreRBath's Ustinov Studio. A 're-imagining of Ibsen's 'Hedda Gabler''. An intense play, the intensity increased by the intimate nature of the venue. Acting superb.

Nails on head from @kevinhunterday. As one would expect. I agree with every word* and have said as much, eg, my statement on FB yesterday .#cpfc.#UEFA. *Bar the bit about transfer talk. I hate transfer talk.

In which 'the only wacky accountant' @KieranMaguire & 'was missing Kieran's chuckle' @kevinhunterday talk of: Graham Norton & Clinton Morrison; flies & wasps; surfboards & Frisbees; speed dating & networking; dicks & Boasts.RT delayed, poring over transport maps of Scandinavia.

From the latest @squires_david Guardian cartoon. Consistently excellent, is David. And as a Swindon Town supporter he knows all about how the smaller the club, the harder they get kicked by the authorities. #davidsquires.#theguardian.#cpfc.#UEFA .#CAS.#fuckuefa.#marinakis

So sorry to hear of Ian Turner's death. I always enjoyed his company at the Dining Club. RIP Ian.
