Guys, it’s not all over yet. If Croatia and Morocco each get 4 players sent off today, the game is unable to be completed, the result is nul and void. Run with me here… if the same happens in the final, the trophy goes to the quarter finalist with the best disciplinary record!

It’s now SIR Ringo Starr. I love John Lennon’s response to whether he thought Ringo was the “best drummer in the world.” As he said: “He’s not even the best drummer in the Beatles!”

A SINCERE APOLOGY: Yesterday, some people were offended by my joke about the England football team referencing Madeleine McCann — I would like to sincerely apologise but I can’t because I’m not sorry. It was just a joke. It’s what separates us from the animals. I AM NOT SORRY.

It’s the 2nd anniversary of the worst day of my life today — the day my brother was taken from me, stolen from me and from my family. A day of reflection and also celebration but no more anger, wasn’t any use then and it ain’t now. R.I.P. Simon — Spread love x

Seeing Richard Keys trending is a lot like when I see Richard Madeley trending, it means he’s either dead, or he’s just made an absolute cunt of himself on live TV. I’m going to be charitable here and say I’m relieved it’s always the latter.

Richard Madeley would be just fine on his morning chat-shows if he wasn’t allowed to do any of the following: > Interview women, especially young women > Discuss anything relating to women > Compare harrowing major news events to “a thing that happened to me recently” > Talk.

Got chatting about football to a Turkish fella in my local shop today, when I mentioned I was a Brentford fan, he said “oh, you’re on that bandwagon, are you?”. Yes, mate. Been on that bandwagon for over 40 years, I was on it when it had no wheels, or band, or wagon.

The downside of touring as regularly as we have is that you get to see the level of homelessness in this country. It struck us all this time as being worse than ever. And it’s everywhere. It’s absolutely shameful how these people have been failed in a country like ours.

Fiona Bruce has a husband who donates significant funds to the Tory Party, yet she still chairs Question Time. But Gary Lineker should be sacked for expressing his opinion (on Twitter). This freedom of speech thing, seems to depend who’s saying it and what they’re saying.

I did Parents Evening tonight, on Zoom. 5 minutes with each teacher. Not easy because the bloody wi-fi kept dipping out, yet strangely, this only happened during his weaker subjects — yep, the little fucker was only listening in and turning off the wi-fi when bad news was coming.

When I was at secondary school we had our own in-house rhyming slang, and ‘Terry Hall’ meant ’cool’. What else could it mean? I still sometimes say ‘Terry’ when I like something. That’s not a bad legacy. #RIP

Thank you for all your lovely messages about how great I was last night. Mark was quite good too — we had a lovely time, music needs people just as much as people need music, but here we all are until this shit-show is over, ultimately we’re very grateful just to be able to play.

I’ll be brief, congratulations Croatia, the better team won. They had a savvy going on that we’re probably still a tournament or two away from — but we’ll get there, my heart is still busting with pride. Beautiful tournament, and we played some beautiful football. I’ll take that.

Tonight was a strange occasion, but a thoroughly enjoyable one nonetheless, more importantly though, it proved that live music is possible, if it’s done with the care and attention that I saw today (yesterday) — thanks to everyone who participated, not just those who were there.

I’m genuinely heartbroken. I realise I was hoping against hope. I was stupidly naive enough to think that a significant majority of voters would wise up, see the bigger picture, believe in a society, protect our welfare-state, before their own prejudices & financial well-being.

Much as I love wading through the ‘why aren’t you playing in ________ (enter your hometown here)?’ — the reason we’re not playing in ‘your hometown’ is because we’re playing in other people’s hometowns, and we can’t play in everyone’s fucking hometown.
