HOPE is defined as “a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen”. My life right now is like a Jurgen Klopp-inspired version of Being John Malkovich; every time I look at someone my brain is superimposing a beard and a pair of...
WHEN you talk about football it’s important to remember that there’s a difference between what could happen and what does happen. In no area of the game is that more important than when discussing the financial implications of an ever-expanding set of commercial...
“IN mathematics and digital electronics, a binary number is a number expressed in the binary numeral system, or base-2 numeral system, which represents numeric values using two different symbols: typically 0 (zero) and 1 (one).” In today’s game, too many football fans...
