April 14, 2009

Come back kings?

The pilgrimage to Rome for the Champions League final looks uncertain for Liverpudlians, unless their team can create some magic over Chelsea tonight.

Football on Easter Sunday? Heaven forbid!

April 14, 2009

Football and religion

Dr John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York, has criticised the Premier League for scheduling games on Easter Sunday, saying it should be a day to spend time with those we love. I like Dr Sentamu.

Newcastle make their point

Before you all start to laugh at this article let me preface this by saying that the Magpies will have to play much better over their last six matches than they did against Stoke if they would like to be 1/20th of the Premier League next season.
