DID you see that lovely article that Dion Fanning wrote about his lad, and dinosaurs and him loving Mo Salah and that? It was lovely that, wasn’t it? Would have brought a tear to the eye of even a hardened, misery arse that, wouldn’t it? I couldn’t help but think,...
BOURNEMOUTH were beaten before a ball was kicked, beaten when the teamsheet came in. They’d have hoped to see a change at least in the front three. The night before they go to bed and say their prayers. If they have been good boys and are up to date on their...
