Football isn’t a matter of life and death…

The furore over the John Terry affair, and whether he should remain as England captain, has been blown completely out of proportion. Continue reading →

It’s been a very quiet transfer window, as one would expect given the current economic climate and the fact that the club who most needs signings – Portsmouth – can’t realistically make any. There is, almost literally, nothing to get excited about. Most of the deals have been for free, on loan, or represent clubs taking punts on players. But where does the real value lie, and who’s dropped the ball? Continue reading →
