I GUESS that this must be the place. We’ve arrived. Repeatedly it felt like we’d never get here – 2002, 2009, 2014, 2019. Time and time and time again we nearly got here, we were at the door. We were at the door again and everything stopped. The game ceased to...
ON Friday it was confirmed. Vicky Jepson’s side, who sat at the foot of the WSL with six points from 14 games upon the suspension of football in March, would be relegated to the Championship. The FA’s decision, which used an unweighted points-per-game system to...
THE Premier League’s Project Restart has had its ups and downs, it’s fair to say. Conflicting ideas, contrasting plans, rabid self interest, understandable health concerns, leaks to the media, faceless comments and more. Even with the sport on hold, we’ve been able to...

IT was like Christmas Day morning… Well, Christmas Day morning if it had been postponed for two months. And it wasn’t the real Father Crimbo, just some random old fella with a beer belly and some grey stubble. And instead of the latest games console with all the best...
FIRST of all, you have to own it. The Premier League by its sheer existence demands as much. The league has become a monster nobody can currently control. It has almost taken on an artificial lifeform as a being that defines a whole existence for many of us. And here...
THE latest meeting of the Premier League took place earlier this week. As expected, nothing much was decided other than future talking points and a rejection of the notion of neutral venue games. That’s fine. It’s important not to make snap decisions when this and...
