GOING TO THE WIRE

No Premiership season has ever seen the top two teams level on points going into the final game. And it feels great doesn’t it? Not only have we stuck in there, but we’ve also caught the leaders up, and now Chelsea are agonisingly close to third Premiership crown. Following the side down the years you […]


SOMETHING SPECIAL

What a week. If you were to describe it in one, neat, bite-sized word, what would it be? My first reaction would probably be ‘wow,’ followed the kind of wild-eyed look that was last seen on Dougal’s face in Father Ted. Maybe a Gordon Ramsey-style response would be more fitting. Two must-win games? ‘Done.’ (And […]


THIS TIME IT CAN BE DIFFERENT

It’s a massive week. Two games so colossal you wouldn’t think they could possibly squeeze them into time it self. Ninety minutes? For a game this size? Surely not? Your mind can only squirm, or possibly boggle, at the prospect.
These games are that big I can’t even think about what happens after them. You can’t […]


THE BUSINESS END

THE BUSINESS END thumbnail

It’s the most exciting part of the season. Teams get relegated, promoted, miss the play-offs, put into administration, start planning their holidays (enjoy the beach City), and, of course, the prizes get dished out. The games start to build in importance and the pressure mounts. Alex Ferguson infamously refers to it as ’squeaky bum time’ […]


CRUNCH TIME

In case you’re wondering, the title to this piece doesn’t refer to Ashley’s crazy lunge at Hutton on Wednesday night. It’s more about the big four extravaganza (no puns please) this Easter Sunday.
After the emotional roller-coaster of the Spurs game I’m not sure my nerves can take it. Oddly, if we take the lead on […]


FIGHTING BACK

It still hurts.
Wembley, two weeks ago, and we were twenty minutes from the first piece of silverware of the season. A harsh penalty decision and a freak goal off Woodgate’s face and the game had turned.
It wasn’t any wonder that goal didn’t injure him. Sadly Spurs were well worth the win on the […]


UP FOR THE CUP

UP FOR THE CUP thumbnail

It’s a strange cup the Carling Cup. Not to look at or anything. It’s your standard, oversized, football tin pot, complete with a couple of ribbons and handles for heroic lofting. I’m not even sure there’s a lid, one to grab and place on the head for a comedy hat routine during the lap of […]


TAKEN FOR GRANTED?

TAKEN FOR GRANTED? thumbnail

It was Shrove Tuesday the other day and it kind of caught me by surprise. Not because of the usual reasons; like thinking you’re Tom Cruise in Cocktail, trying an elaborate frying pan toss and ending up with batter on the floor and in your hair. It was because I wasn’t really expecting it. It’s […]
