Bolton Wanderers have unveiled their new home kit for the 2009-2010 season, and boy is it awful. Why on earth they decide not to consult fans regarding these designs before they're released to the public, I don't know.

If Wigan had hosted United in mid-August rather than mid-May, they might have thought they had a chance to hold onto the draw as the 80th minute mark passed. Ten minutes to go. A one all scoreline. Why not? But this season has been a long lesson on Manchester's late resolve, and so Michael Carrick's […]

A couple of weeks ago, I took a weekend cruise to Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas. Sailing from Fort Lauderdale, all I had on my mind was relaxation. The kids stayed at home with my relatives. I left the laptop home. Instead, it was a rare weekend of just sun, drinks, gambling and food. […]
