NEW season, same old heart attacks, fear, excitement, joy and crushing disappointment. Thanks a lot for coming back Redmen. I was just starting to become a normal human being again. That was poor from Liverpool. Whether it had anything to do with the selfish acts of...

“LET it not be said that achievement is no less rewarding without the material gratification of a tangible reward.” It’s alright that, isn’t it? I’ve just made it up. Nevertheless, I hope it stirred up some form of resonance with you, until you realised it was as far...

THE season is over, the season is done. After 38 league games, a handful of cup matches and numerous moments of panic, the Premier League has come to its conclusion for another year. For some it will be seen as something of a disappointment, believing that we were in...
