WHAT a strange game of football that was. Far too end of season far too in the season. Let’s put it down to semi-final distractions… Anyway, some scores and then some words that may or may not reflect them. SIMON MIGNOLET: 9 Meeting me and Andy in the week had the...
AS a contest it was hard to know to expect from Liverpool vs Newcastle. One side which has been inconsistent and a little impotent against poorer opposition at home and the other side one which appears to have downed tools for the campaign insofar as they ever had...
IT’S getting sorted in the summer. They’ll talk about it in the summer. What if the summer is too late? Hands up, I don’t know anything about negotiating contracts. I haven’t sat in a room with an agent and a player and got down to the nitty gritty of salaries,...

POST-Arsenal, heads had gone. Everywhere I looked, heads had gone. Not quite everywhere. Everywhere’s harsh. And the madness has been tempered slightly by victory at Blackburn. But one of the ways you know heads have gone is because Paul Tomkins writes something...
