I currently spend my time between Cleveland, Ohio, and my home in Florida. At present I have gone back to Florida to spend some time down there and enjoy my birthday. While I’m away I decided to run some old articles that I wrote that you might have seen elsewhere on the internet. This one…
I felt England did well the other night against San Marino – sometimes those kind of games are ones where you simply can’t win because you’re expected to score a hatful, but the boys did well and scored some pretty good goals. They say there’s no easy games at international level but I was looking…
There has been a lot in the news this week about a couple of clubs in the Championship and I firmly believe that the problems that are at Vicarage Road and Ewood Park have been caused by foreign ownership.
