A great honour to have the Lower Block zines featured by the good people at When Saturday Comes. They know their football culture. Shout out to Sean Cole for his fine work on the words - and to North Ferriby Fanzine for sharing! 🙌

Ivan Sunjic.

Just look what that goal meant to him. 💙

Well that was shit. We carry such little threat. Need to be braver on the ball. Players look paralysed by fear and unwilling to take risks. Understandable in the circumstances but far too many are shirking responsibility and just hoping that someone else will step up.

You can never underestimate how stupid and impulsive kids are. After watching The Phantom Menace, I bought possibly the single worst toy that's ever existed. Nothing better than recreating tedious trade negotiations with your very own Galactic Senate.

Hark at Guardiola and Arteta using their big galaxy brains to invent playing four centre-backs. Destroyer of worlds Tony Pulis got there years ago, lads.

'Brentford knew that one day I wanted to go home to Malmo. I left something fantastic, but I was also going home to something fantastic.'

Sean Cole speaks to Malmo's Pontus Jansson in our April issue: shop.kelsey.co.uk/single-issue/w…

'The chances are that you're going to lose every single game against France, but you still think you can take something positive out of it.'

Rumour has it that if you stand still for long enough in the Black Country, you'll automatically be turned into a bar and grill.

The England home kit is boring but fine. The away kit is weird and cool. They're both far too expensive. Not sure there's anything else to say about them. Anyone engaging in flag talk just needs to grow up.

Encouraging performance - miles better than Tuesday - but all the more galling to then get nothing for it. Everything was fine until we reached their box and desperation suddenly took over. Always felt like we were straining for a goal rather than believing we'd create one.

Always a pleasure to see the latest NutmegMagazine. This time, I spoke to Phil Thompson about how Gary McAllister defied expectations to become a Liverpool legend. His derby winner, UEFA Cup final masterclass and positive influence on a young squad, especially Steven Gerrard.

Me summoning Lukas Jutkiewicz whenever we get drawn into another relegation battle:

Imagine how different the world would be if he was called Gary Kane instead.
