It's Sunday, the time of prayer in the Christian world, to which I too am offering up some prayers to the football gods for this afternoons game. I am praying for a win or even a draw, because let's face it, our chances seem slim giving our history, the form of the champions, our patchy [...]

Heartless display that the manager must take responsibility for

Where do you even start with a performance like yesterday? How do you dissect something that was so turgid, it doesn't matter which way you look at it, you're not going to like what you see? What I saw yesterday, the first day of 2015, was an old familiar sight that I'd hoped could be [...]
