I've never been a great fan of London There's a pretentiousness and a 'centre-of-the-universe' culture that has allowed the city to prosper as the rest of the country is allowed to wither away, not least places like our own city. So when you find yourself in a position where us lot from Wolves can have … Continue reading London Calling

A Locking of Horns
Christmas means many things to many different people. People, Christian or otherwise, celebrate it in their own way. Traditions vary, but one thing that Christmas has always meant to me is football.

As a Wolves fan, as a football fan in general, this was a horror show of a game and worst of all one team was playing this … Continue reading Nuno Had A Nightmare
