“IN the current climate.” “The market rate.” “Inflated prices.” You might associate the following phrases with the beginnings of a political rant, but they’re in fact all increasingly common phrases used when referring to the modern day football transfer market. They...
THERE it is. The comfortable away win with the clean sheet. It can’t get much more comfortable and it probably won’t for the rest of the campaign. We’ve been waiting for this, waiting to see it. When it occurred it was like a warm bath on a cold day....
Alisson: 7 I wonder what he was thinking about all game while he had absolutely nothing to fucking do. Genuinely, I don’t care who you are, your mind is drifting there. Probably trying to remember where the Chrimbo decs are. I was in the loft twice there today looking...
