Football is the best part of Christmas!

I’ve got a blank weekend. Great, that means a day free to do absolutely anything.

Since my last article we have beaten one half of Manchester, then lost to the other, beaten the side top of the league and lost to Aston Villa. Anyone else see a common theme? Inconsistency, well at least we are consistently inconsistent! Looki [...]

Rumours, lies and messageboards

December 4, 2008

I heard a rumour

Should you know who’s putting money into your club? Should you know who’s left out of the team and why? Should you know who’s pulling the strings and who’s taking up the slack? Just how much is it acceptable to tell the fans of a football club, and how much would you want to know? [...]

It’s so funny how we don’t laugh any more
