St George’s Day.

His father was from Turkey, his mother was Syrian.

He was a Roman and died in Palestine. He never visited England.

If he’s a hero to anyone it’s Palestine and the muslims, for whom he stood up against discrimination and oppression.

And since dragons have never existed he could hardly have killed one.

So as patron saints go he’s a bit of a waste of time.

Today it’s Millwall v Luton and Middlesbrough v Burnley in the Championship.

If Luton fail to win and Burnley win, the Clarets are promoted to the Premier League.

It’s coming up to the 50th anniversary of the release of Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells.

He’s releasing a double album to commemorate the occasion, which includes previously unreleased demos and out-takes.

There’s also a brand new eight minute piece which was intended to be the intro to a brand new Tubular Bells 4, but it’s been abandoned and this is all that remains. Sadly the article I read states that Oldfield has effectively retired from both touring and composing so that would seem to be that! Sad if true.

The holy oil to anoint King Charles III on his coronation, has been consecrated in Jerusalem.

A year ago today, Russia invaded Ukraine.

Had enough yet, Vladimir? Because you’re not going to win.

Just a quick update on Burnley’s season.

Flying at the top of the Championship, yesterday they played local rivals Preston, blew them away 3-0 with Nathan Tella hitting a hat-trick.

They’ve won TEN IN A ROW! That’s a record that stretches back to 1938. They have never won eleven in a row.

They’re at home to Watford on Tuesday night.

The Clarets are on fire!

Bill Shankley - the best manager to ever grace the game of football, and a magnificent human being to boot.
