Thurs 22nd December - The Bum on drums & Euro Doldrums

So 2011 is almost done and what a strange year it’s been in some ways for yours truly – mostly in a musical sense! Having to leave the ultimate tribute band (Dressed To Kill natch), helping out 2 others and now, as the year draws to a close I’m finally getting the chance to be at my most musically creative – namely, to record my own album of original material.

Busy week on the way...

I'll be at Derby/Brighton in the nPower Championship on Tuesday night first of all with reports into Kick Off on talkSPORT.

Then I shall be providing commentary via UEFA.com & various worldwide outlets on Braga/Birmingham City in the Europa League on Wednesday night, so any ex-pat Bluenoses will be able to hear me calling the game right around the globe - it promises to be quite a game with the group very tightly contested between Blues, Braga & Club Brugge who travel to Maribor on the same night.

Tues 8th November 2011 - How it all began...at 1500 feet.

I am just one of countless broadcasters (especially in the sporting field) who is asked one question more than any other – namely “How did you get into radio?” or sometimes, as it was asked by a chap who met me at Gems TV once “How the hell did YOU get into radio?” Seriously, it has been asked in that way without the slightest concern over my reaction to the tone of it. Charming.

Kick Off cover tonight! (31st Oct) plus the week to come...

Hello all!

First off, thanks for your regular visits to the site - much appreciated.

Right then - the week ahead! I'm presenting Kick Off on talkSPORT tonight (31st Oct) from 7-10pm alongside Stan Collymore - Small Heath vs Witton then... ;o)

Then you can join me on UEFA.com Tuesday night for live commentary on Valencia v Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, with Valencia looking to close a 4 point gap on their visitors.

Sun 30th October - Has 4-2-3-won you over yet?

Arsenal win 5-3? at Chelsea? Man City win 6-1 at United? United thump Arsenal 8-2? What the Dickens is going on in English football? Freak results come along of course...Spurs thumping Wigan 9-1 at the Lane 2 years ago for example - but we're barely a quarter of the way into the season and those 25 goals in 3 games between Champions League sides have rightly raised questions about the balance English sides are trying to strike between offensive ideals and defensive solidity.
