THE death of hope. The January-February requiem for a season. So often the case. The ground hog campaign. It’s a very familiar cycle. August’s boundless optimism, yielding to September’s anxiety, making way to an October-November of expectation ebb...
NEW FEATURE! As well as our lunch time round up on YouTube we are now going to do an audio round up around 4pm just for our lovely subscribers. Today Gibbo and Robbo are on hand to discuss Jurgen Klopp’s press conference. They analyse his comments on our centre...
