As we approach the terminus of a rather boring tail end of the European season, one of the inevitable and predictable rituals that we see this time of year are formal sendings off for some of the biggest names in the game as the move on to the next stages in their lives. And this season’s end, […]
With the Premier League season all but complete — our relegation sides now identified and the Champions League clubs now set, only some relatively meaningless shuffling of table places and the naming of a champion yet remain — many supporters’ thoughts have drifted on to question and speculate on their clubs’ summer dealings. How will they […]
While there’s a strong desire to call this latest episode of the podcast the “Cinco de Mayo Special”, Jeremy would probably prefer we call it the “Nose Picking Special” thanks to this hysterical fan shot from this weekend’s action. But there was way more than nose-picking to talk about this week. For instance, an all-Madrid Champions League […]

So while the long wait for the return of the world’s single most popular sporting event is nearly up, the next question becomes: […]
I have to admit that I have been a really lousy writer lately. The last full length article I wrote was published over two weeks ago, and it was nearly a fortnight in between that one and the article previous to it.
