DO people believe that a computer arranges the fixture list? I’ve always wanted to think that it really is a random collection of games thrown together, but I don’t know. It just doesn’t seem random enough. I mean, how come we don’t play, say, Burnley at home on the...
THAT night in Madrid. The one we all remember. The night we’ll never forget. Jordan Henderson, usually the most reserved of men, in the hub of the pandemonium. His face awash with joyous tears as he embraces his father. His grip over the European Cup impenetrable....
