There are games you look forward to going to because the football is the attraction.

What seems like it has been the longest, and most tedious, of international breaks has been made a lot easier for me by my inbox, filled with kind comments and a couple of wonderful recollections.

Under instruction from Bergkamp the Man, I am publishing earlier than promised! You must have a doozy of a preview for us in the drinks, BtM? I’m still looking forward to heading to the Bridge tomorrow, for all manner of reasons. The pre-match food looks good, even if I have to leave home at nine […]
