Back in October, I wrote about the living legend that is John Terry. It will come as no surprise that I waxed lyrical about the man, and of course with my usual arrogance, offered up some not so sage advice. Why are people like myself moved to write about people like John? Simple really: as [...]
Let’s assume for a moment that Manchester United sweep all before them this season. Not too difficult to imagine, what with them romping away in the league, yet to have the now-famous blip, and still in the latter stages of major cup competitions. Let’s also assume that Chelsea win nothing. A little harder to imagine [...]

Not always a good thing though, is it? I can only remember leaving three, [...]
