By Karl Coppack IT’S the day of the home leg against Zenit, six months into the season and I’m still not sure. I’ve sat through 5-0 wins, I’ve seen us be an aberration of a back pass and a walkabout goalkeeper away from beating the League...

By Karl Coppack I love football. I like betting too. I’m no good at it and, to be honest I’m a bit alarmed that my local bookie knows my name but I don’t take it too seriously. I don’t lose too much and I win even less. Betting is a supplement to a mundane Saturday...

By Karl Coppack Moving on. It’s been over a week and I still haven’t come to terms with it. I’m still furious, disappointed and, as melodramatic as it seems, feel betrayed. Elsewhere the Red world happily discusses Martinez, Villas Boas, Capello, Redknapp, Twiggy etc....
