FIFA 18 and 19 were both very good, enjoyable games with 19 specifically aimed much more towards the… Continue reading Halfway House

Derailed but defiant
Last time around, after 15 games of season 9, we were 4 points clear, well the end of this good form coincided with the start of December, and the infamous 'Christmas Fuckery period', which runs throughout December into January.

Disappointing, but Huddersfield were another of those fuckery matches… Continue reading Changing of the seasons
