EVENING everyone, Here’s five thoughts on the football match that’s just happened. 1) The Anfield Wrap’s Rob Gutmann is on holiday My normal pre-match routine is to spend about an hour listening to Rob talk about The Human League while his children...
IT could be argued that since going down in the second half at St Mary’s two weeks ago our league season has effectively ended, writes CHARLIE CHRISTIAN. It’s true that our chances of finishing in the top four have greatly diminished as a result of those shambolic 45...
