Over on Eight by Eight there's a focus on the gorgeous hand-drawn match notes prepared before every match by BBC Radio Newcastle’s Nick Barnes. From the impeccable hand lettering to the crest of the opposing team, I am equally inspired and envious of his deft, emblematic and downright stunning notes. Just check out the tiny flags he inflects each of the opposing player's with.

He says he rarely refers to them during the match, but it's not surprising that after employing  such attention in their creation, he wouldn't need to.
