Morning all, happy Friday to you. How long did you last? I switched off when Phil Foden fell over and got a free kick which he then took and scored from via a deflection. That was enough for me, as if they need any more help. I felt I didn’t need to subject myself to […]

Morning all. It’s been quite the weekend and yesterday we almost had the joy of one of the funniest results of all time. Manchester United, 3-0 up on Coventry in the 71st minute of the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, let that lead slip, conceding three goals to send the game into extra-time. Then, right […]
