Arsenal v Southampton, Manchester City v Fulham and more: football clockwatch – live

“Looking forward to the afternoon’s action,” says Jeremy Boyce. “Let’s hope it won’t be too Premier League-centric, other footie is available. But as I know you’re a multi-faceted sport fan like myself (I draw the line at horses and pugilism these days) I’m wondering what you make of the America’s Cup/LV Challenge these days? Obviously there’s a lot of joy at Sir Jim’s team today, qualifying for a ritual massacring at the hands of the master Peter Burling and his band of Kiwis.

“I can see that it’s all highly technical these days and requires an incredible amount of coordination to constantly max the incredible new boats can achieve, not to mention the dosh to fund a challenge especially developing a boat and its foils. All great, but I’ve a kind of hankering to see boats that are actually sitting on the water, not flying above it, with wooden masts and hemp ropes and real people heaving canvas up and down, rather than everything being run by machines.

“A bit like I prefer vinyl, books, craft beer.... I admit, I did buy myself a carbon fibre road bike, but the wheels stay on the road and it’s your legs and lungs that move it forwards.”

I’m sorry to say I know the square root of bugger all about the America’s Cup. If it’s any consolation, I’m addicted to the smell of old books.
