WHEN I was at Uni, during a particularly soul destroying moment in a particularly soul destroying lecture, I looked up in my moment of dread and saw the sole of a class mate’s shoe. It took a while to figure out what the lettering said. But eventually I figured...
IN case you missed it, Greg Dyke, the new FA Chairman, said this in a speech last week. “I’ve been planning this speech almost from the day I was offered the job as FA Chairman and I have read with interest recently people arguing that English football needs a...
Your football club, it gets up in the morning, and once it’s just about regained some idea of where it is, it rolls to its feet, picks its boxer shorts out of its arse, and staggers to the bathroom mirror. Maybe it does all this with a little Gareth...
