This is what it’s all about, isn’t it? Once again we travel to the San Siro, scene of two outstanding performances by us in the last decade, to take on the seven times champions of Europe. With the possible exception of Real Madrid and Barca, this is about as big as opponents come. Any fear […]

The biggest buzz associated with doing this blog has been watching a cracking little community of ‘holics grow and develop over the years.

I need to write as the final whistle is blown. I need to write now because in twenty or thirty minutes I will write a different piece completely. I want to write while I can claim to understand what some people are unable to convey calmly or without abusing others. I need not to be […]
