With apologies to the fans of other Yorkshire clubs, I think Barnsley would be an interesting candidate for promotion.

I'd rather see Norwich go up than another London club. I like to see as much of a geographical spread across England (and Wales) as possible.

I remember when there were people touting Boothroyd as a future great when he got Watford promoted to the Premier League, but he was then managing a team at the bottom of League Two only seven years later. I was surprised he ended up in the position he did with the Under-21 team after that.

The top six being represented by five different teams is very nice to see.

The World Snooker Championship has started. This is my favourite tournament of the year in any game or sport.

The download is supposed to be around 72GB, according to a report I read.

MLB The Show can now be preloaded through Game Pass.

That sounds good to me. Apparently, you can add your own clips as well with a bit of tinkering.

I used God Mode because I tend to struggle with games. It was a nice boost to have and it incentivised me to keep trying.

Maybe some of that comes from really wanting to like it and getting caught up in the immediate hype. I remember a similar trend with The Dark Knight Rises.

I enjoy the boss fights in Hades.

They're bringing in a stadium creator this year. Other than that, I think the changes are incremental. Actually, I did read that Road to the Show will let you play as both a pitcher and hitter before you decide which one to go for. I think you might be able to do both after that too.

I can't be surprised when any game is delayed. It happens a lot at the best of times, let alone during a pandemic.

Pac-Man 99 has been announced as a Switch Online exclusive and will come out later today. As you probably guessed, it's Tetris 99 with Pac-Man.

I wouldn't say I love Friday Night Dinner, but Paul Ritter and Mark Heap really helped carry it.

They might as well just automatically give all the Champions League places to the wealthiest teams and abandon any thin pretences they're pushing.

Maybe my view is different because my favourite club is a long way from the Premier League. I prefer following Notts County to England, but England matches also hold a lot more appeal to me than Premier League games do. Seeing players from different clubs come together, sometimes against their own teammates, is interesting in and of itself and, as mentioned before, there's a sense of familiarity about it. In a game that sees players flit between clubs throughout their careers, the enforced loyalty feels increasingly novel.

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to do that.

This is coming to Xbox Game Pass on launch day. Incredible news.

Is that a good thing or not?

That game was great fun. There's a fan-made patch that makes it run on modern systems and fixes most of the bugs the original game had. It used to crash all the time.

I'd be happy enough if international fixtures remained without crowds forever. No booing of national anthems, racist chanting or that crap song about German bombers.

What's the term? "Peak England", I believe.

You mean more "undead husks who eat humans but we won't call them zombies so we don't seem to lack creativity" games.

They must have taken inspiration from the GTA V Chaos Mod.
