  • Time to plant the Forest again

    It all goes back to sacking Billy Davies. Was this really the right move? He was developing a young side year by year and reached the play-offs twice. Surely if McLaren was the man to take the team forward instead he should have been given more financial backing?

  • 90 Minutes from greatness

    The Swans truly demonstrated their Premier League credentials yet again with an impressive team performance. Brendan Rodgers side dictated the pace and dominated for the most part of the game. Their reward for their efforts is a final at Wembley, where they will face Reading for a place in the Premier League, after The Royals…

The letter was her immediate invitation to quodos at school, especially amongst the nine year old boys as it invited her to be a mascot at the forthcoming England versus France Under 21’s international…

  • Down in the Valley
