Nearly all the Brazilian supporters are wearing yellow shirts - it's a fabulous kaleidoscope of colour.

For those of you watching in black and white, Spurs are in the all-yellow strip.

Even now, I still get a bit apprehensive before a game because I am worried about whether I have done enough preparation or if something is going to catch me out. But the fear factor has gone - as it should have done by now, really, after nearly 50 years.

The principle of fashion is . . . the principle of the kaleidoscope. A new year can only bring us a new combination of the same elements; and about once in so often we go back and begin again.

Black life is ambiguous, and a kaleidoscope of meanings, rich, multi-sided . . . we have frozen our vision in figures that caricature, at best the complexity of our lives and leave the real artistic chore of interpretation unfinished.

I'll have a couple hundred of just family wearing Blaze shirts.
