Cesc himself is widely quoted talking about “a team of that quality, trying to play football and put the ball on the ground and create chances and play beautiful football, I don’t think I have seen […]

So Germany and Jens have made it to the final of Euro2008 by scoring a late goal against the best late goalscorers in the tournament. Now there will be an anxious few days for the crazy keeper while he waits to discover if his two blunders last night have cost him his place for that […]

‘Here ‘holic, are you doing anything special for your four hundredth post?’ Some of you sad but crazy people really should get out more. Even I didn’t realise that milestone had arrived. Thank you anyway. There is no news to ponder over. The Euros are now under way so there is little chance of any […]

Hello all, and sorry for the dearth of posting. I have been playing doctors and nurses, well mainly nurses actually, but enough of my character defects.
