I’m hearing voices again. That is worrying. Due to circumstances beyond my control I have had to spend six weeks watching football online. I am discovering some quite interesting things. One of the most significant is listening to mates come back from another freezing afternoon bereft of much other than utter frustration. For once, even […]

West Ham fans will be the first to understand what I mean when I say it is not very often that the Irons travel to Arsenal with a significant bit of form behind them. The first team to defeat us at the Grove don’t go on many runs without defeat. Consistency has been a fairweather […]

I suppose you need to be of a certain vintage to remember Les Dawson playing the piano. For those unfamiliar with his talent, he could play the piano so badly, it was apparent he was a very fine musician.

I’m fated never to go to some places, I reckon. Hull is one of those. When the Tigers were promoted last season I vowed to keep an eye on the fixture list and if at all possible I would have liked to go as it is one of the few places I have never seen […]

I could, not for the first time either, do a cut and paste job for a match report. However, given my rare appearances at present you deserve better. I have just got back from visiting the management who, despite the pain, knew the correct question to ask first. “How did Arsenal get on?” Upon hearing […]

At this stage of a Friday evening I do not have the time to properly research the preview for the clash with Bolton tomorrow, or indeed what has happened in the last day or so. Chances are you are only here to see the ‘holic pound so you know what to avoid in the morning! […]
