Last night in Trinidad, the Islanders recorded a 2-0 semifinal win in the CFU Final Four over Haitian Champions Tempete. Kendall Jagdeosingh scored the winning goal on a cross from Scott Jones early […]

On 27 May the last meaningful game (apart from the FA Cup Final) involving an English club will take place this season.

It will be an even better week for me should my team prevail at Wembley on […]

When did it come to this?
