IT’S funny how quickly perceptions and opinions of a player can change, writes MATT KENNY. With the constant stream of breaking news, 24/7 access to opinions on Twitter and podcasts all over the show, popular opinion from a week ago can almost feel old hat such...
ONE of my oldest and bestest friends is from Swansea. I met my friend — let’s call him Ross — when we were both fresh faced 18 year olds dropped into mid-80s Liverpool as undergraduates at Liverpool University. I think Ross was originally studying...
