Football without fans has got a bad press. There is another way of looking at it…. 1) Jordan Henderson wahey The most vocal man in a football stadium near you appears to be Jordan Henderson. We might not be hearing him for a good few weeks now, but there’s a compilation on social media […]

Back in September we said Frank Lampard had to mount a Premier League title challenge after Chelsea spent over £220million assembling a ‘foolproof squad’. He didn’t, so it clearly wasn’t. That was either an error of judgement on our part because the players bought aren’t quite as good (at least right now) as we thought […]

Are you ready to spend a couple of hours as a member of a crowd? Finally, we might just rounding the bend into the home straight. Though we’d be as well to take the Westminster government’s pathway toward unlocking lockdown with a large pinch of salt and an Ancelotti-style raised eyebrow, given this mob’s long […]
