I DID a “Wildcards” show for TAW Player recently where we discussed Facebook. People talked about what they liked, what they didn’t like about it, all kinds of different angles. One thing that I didn’t mention was their “On This Day” feature whereby you are taken on a...

GET out the way, West Brom. Just move, will ya? Only the European Cup matters. I think only the European Cup has ever mattered. All else is chimera. Can you even be a Liverpool supporter without feeling this way about the European Cup? It defines no English team the...
THE recent positioning from The Government and The Premier League regarding rail seating and the desire of football fans to stand at matches is more than a little odd so far. Not only are the statements and justifications lacking in real detail – for instance, how was...
