- AT LEAST FOR NINETY MINUTES – The trouble with two legged ties is that you never really know what is a good result in the first leg. Last year we came away from Anfield with a 3 – 1 win and left the Bridge a fortnight later having collectively aged 340,000 years (I am [...]
Continue reading …When you’re sixteen your eighteenth birthday and driving licence seem like a lifetime away. At forty you blink and the next thing you know you’re bloody fifty years old.
Continue reading …I hold my hand up and confess to all you CFC fans that I might have had something to do with the breaking of the JT story. A couple of weeks ago I complained to my daughter that it’s been ages since the newspapers ran any interesting Chelsea stories and she sagely suggested it might [...]

Continue reading …John Terry has been in the eye of the storm recently as all of you will have noted. Apparently if you are England captain any misdemeanor is multiplied by ten and every single newspaper makes sure they get as many column inches as possible out of him. It is not a coincidence that it is [...]
Continue reading …The headline on the back page of yesterday’s News of the World screamed (as all NOTW headlines do) “1 Billion Chinese Takeaway at United”.

But try as I might there are ten blokes who have worn our beloved royal blue shirt, and some dodgy away ones too, who, try [...]
Continue reading …My first attempt at writing this article started last Sunday just before midnight and went something like this – Didier Drogba tra la la la la la, Didier Drogba tra la la la la la. And on and on it went. I had another go yesterday (Monday) but the only the words that came into [...]

Forget the defection of the African boys in January, forget any potential blips and forget any signings in January [...]
Continue reading …I envy those who make a living writing about football. Just imagine the landlord paying you to utter football nonsense when you’re drunk in a pub and you have a rough idea of what it’s like to be a football journo. In the space of eight days we went from being world beaters (Saturday 26th [...]
Continue reading …You may like to know that the most read piece on the Guardian’s website today was an article with the headline “Why women have sex”. I wonder why (not why women has sex but why so many people read it). I read it mainly because there hasn’t been too much good CFC news to read [...]
