I actually got back to my hotel to find I'd walked back half an hour so with four pieces of "snow" still in the front of my hair.

Public Service Broadcasting pulled out all the stops at Alexandra Palace last night, an incredible night of flying satellites, guest singers, skaters, astronauts, snow, self-conscious pyro and....a costume change?! Gig of the year?

Saw a sign on my way back to my hotel saying Passmore Gardens and luckily I did as it asked.

I just did a quiz which included a question "what letter is also a tool?". I preferred my answer to their answer so I want to see what you'd all say.

I'm used to seeing Arch Enemy at places like the Apollo or the Academy in Manchester so to see them last night at Manchester Rebellion was a far more intimate affair to introduce their singer to the Manchester audience. Fantastic night.

Can't be the first to say this, but (and yay UEFA - brilliant) this works equally well if you swap out "football" for maybe "water" or "a stable climate". Look at me being the revolutionary socialist. "No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation."

The moment external investors acquire ownership interests in
FIFA competitions, football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. Investor expectations become a daily pressure. From that moment onwards, every decision on the international calendar, every decision on competition formats and every decision shaping the future of football is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.
This model has no place in world football. Football's future cannot be dictated by the expectations of those whose first duty is to maximise financial return. Nor can the interests of national associations, leagues, clubs, players and supporters become subordinate to investor returns. Football cannot mortgage its future for financial gain.
Europe's position is clear. We will never lend this model our legitimacy. No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation.

Bit of a poor show at the venue last night, no water being handed out down the front. Got in around 5:30 and out around 10:30, so not great unless they just expect you to lose your space.
