Before I start I would like to give my condolences to the family of Eric Altshule, as the EPL talk writer sadly passed away recently. I often read Eric's work and even if you didn't agree with his side of the argument all the time, it was great to see someone give a well founded […]

It's hard to deny that Leeds United fans have had to suffer for the past half a decade. It was always one of England's biggest teams, in the 60's and 70's Leeds were in the same mould as what the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal are today. I won't go into the downfall of things […]
