In the white corner in the wrinkled tights is Lorimer; in the blue, in curlers and head scarf, Grayson. Still, it’s a good excuse for some Dawson gags: Warnock said to the chemist, ‘Can I have some sleeping pills for the Chairman?’ He said, ‘Why?’ Warnock said, …

QPR Want Tottenham’s Parker

I would love it, just love it, if Parker was shown the door by AVB and obliged to join Green, Anton, Zamora and Dyer in a relegation dog fight in the Bush – a fight that I anticipate QPR losing. Parker’s stock …

Heroic & Unlucky Or A Missed Opportunity?

So, how do we reflect on that performance? Manchester United’s goal was extremely lucky and they rarely looked like scoring after the thirty seventh second of the game. We, on the other hand, had five or six decent chances, far more than I was expecting.
