A dazzling light show and booming pyrotechnics played out to a Stairway to Heaven soundtrack to millions of households. …It was as if Christmas hadn’t even arrived. Let’s pretend it was December 24 instead, and a shared name in the hat for round 4 is the present under the tree. It’s a hat that does […]
Norwich City 1 Wolves 2
Those footballing gods have a funny way of working – if you care to believe in them in the first place. Punishing Wolves for profligacy against Spurs in our last fixture, and doing likewise to Norwich City in this, when the game should have been buried at half-time.

A first win of the season this might have been, but things aren’t so bad, are they? It wasn’t necessarily a performance to salivate over, but as an idiosyncratic old manager […]
