This has got Frankfurt win on penalties written all over it.

Christ. Had assumed this was a documentary, not a reconstructive drama. Got 20 minutes in, genuinely couldn’t watch anymore. Having got that far, I feel sad and sick.

Hadn’t realised that this is Forest’s first trip to Wembley since the 1992 Rumbelows Cup final. Christ, I’ve been there 7 times with Grimsby in that period. I digress slightly, because that cup final is one of the first games I can remember watching on the telly, being only 6 years old at the...

2nd to Ukraine. Not a bad effort that.

What a bizarre voting / scoring system.

Just turned on expecting to see a Ukrainian precession. Christ, we’re fúcking winning. :eek: I don’t particularly care, but it’s surprising nonetheless. Last time was the mid-nineties wasn’t it?

All the more heartwarming when you think back to February and mainstream news was predicting that Kyiv would fall within 24-48 hours. Not even close. Fair to say that the entire world, not least Vladimir Putin, underestimated the resolve and resilience of the Ukrainian people.

You’re close with the Men Behaving Badly link, but I think that’s actually a post-Botox Leslie Ash.

I can’t help but feel that those dismissing this case as tactless and unnecessary are underestimating the damage these claims have done to Rebekah Vardy’s image as the talentless, gold-digging, trophy wife of a thick-as-fúck professional footballer from Sheffield. You’ve got to protect the brand.

My then girlfriend, now wife’s best friend got married on the 8th May 2010. In Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in South West Wales. We received the save the date about a year earlier, and it never seemed of any great significance at the time. In fact, it only re-entered my consciousness on 1st...

Nah, I can’t get on board with that. I get that the career of your typical, middleweight professional footballer is different and more complex than that of the average man on the street, but there’s still room for basic principle. I’m a very similar age to Lewington and understood enough about...

But MK Dons? You know the history, right?

Is there a bigger scab in world football than Dean Lewington? 40-odd appearances for Wimbledon, 800+ for MK Dons. I get that what happened with Wimbledon will be lost on today’s new generation of players, but how someone like Lewington, who was around when the whole thing went down, can see...

My in-laws have had a place in the Torrevieja region of the Costa Blanca. It’s a modest, semi-modern villa with a nice shared pool and decent if not particularly upmarket local amenities. They're about to pay it off having had it just shy of 20 years, and whilst they reckon they’ll make no money...

England, apparently.

I’ve said this before, but I can’t recommend the services of Uncle Spielberg enough. He got me through a series of very tricky hoops when we were attempting to complete a dual house purchase and remortgage in the May of 2020 - possibly the most difficult time in recent history to have attempted...

So, we’re due to play Barnet away on Saturday in front of what looks set to be a sold out away end accounting for a majority of the crowd on the day. Somewhat unusually, Barnet do not release tickets to be sold by the opposition, meaning that they can only be purchased via the Barnet web site...

I've tried to keep my myself away from the minutiae of what's going on in Ukraine right now, because after the first couple of weeks of the invasion I realised it was not doing my own state of mind any good. But I did find myself compelled to read this story and the scale of personal tragedy is...

I honestly think Everton will go. There's high potential for a significant worsening of their goal difference over the course of their remaining games, more so than Burnley on paper, who already have a slight edge on that front. In effect, Burnley only really need to pick-up one more point than...

I hope it works out just as well as the last Ajax manager to transition to the Premier League.
