Poor old QPR. They remind me of an alcoholic sitting in a bar bemoaning his bad luck but telling anybody who will listen that everything will be fine after he has won the lottery in January. Yesterday was a huge kick in the cobblers and has left the Hoops curled up in agony…

Tell me, what will be gained by fining Terry £2,500 even IF he is found guilty as charged? The decision of the CPS to pursue this matter stinks. How do we know for sure that the decision maker isn’t a fan of Tottenham, Arsenal, Man Utd or Chelsea? We are told …

I’m not sure where I stand on the Suarez affair. Initially, I thought he should be kicked out of English football if it was proven that he had used the N word repeatedly towards Evra, but the more I learn about how the Spanish version is used in Uruguay, the more I understand how the term may have…

we are interested in Torquay united’s Eunan O’Kane (who?). Apparently he is their star player and has been called up to the R Ireland under 21 team as well. Lots of chitter chatter in Torquay forums saying he has been watched by us and they are already jumping to conclusions he is already off. If I was to have a…

It’s taken me a while to compile my thoughts on the Barnsley match last weekend. As Ebenezer Scrooge once said, ‘Tuppence is tuppence’, and I think the same can be said for a any win: three points is three points.
