WHEN it comes to stealing a living, few people pull it off as well as certain football pundits. I’m not talking about the ones who make predictions about particular football matches that end up going spectacularly wrong — that can happen to the best of us. I’m...
LAST week Jürgen Klopp claimed the gap to Chelsea was not as large as the table suggests, it’s a comment that is always going to be met with howls of derision. I typed words along these lines in to Twitter to gauge the reaction and was met by an Evertonian accusing...
WHEN the cloak of darkness falls upon Madrid in the weeks before spring’s arrival, the temperature drops suddenly and gusts blow across the city. Yet over on the banks of the Manzanares River, at the Vicente Calderón Stadium, there is a flame that always burns. To...
