Looking back on the football season that finished this weekend, I guess I was lucky that Mrs S didn't have a shotgun to put me out of my misery when Barnet were humiliatingly trounced 5-1 by Chester City last August.

Her honeymoon treat included Geoff Hurst scoring a hat-trick and Bobby Moore lifting the Jules Rimet trophy. It's been downhill for both of us ever since.

The controversial film, The Damned United, about his turbulent 44 days in charge of Leeds United, is due for release. And Amazon e-mail me with an offer of 'Provided you don't kiss me; 20 years with Brian Clough" for £6.25.

I read that magistrates at Tameside in Greater Manchester gave a conditional discharge to a chap found in possession of heroin and crack cocaine but fined another £175, and £155 costs, for dropping a cigarette butt. Seems to me a drastic way of trying to stop people smoking!
