Another day in this strange world. People are dying whilst others continue to treat this Covid-19 virus as if it’s no worse than a common cold. Idiots all of them, and you if you’re one of them. Boris Johnson is giving us a bit of freedom to roam safely but if we as a country […]
Happy Mothering Sunday to all the mums out there, many of whom are self isolating, or at least should be. Mine is and whilst it was tempting to FaceTime her this morning, I resisted as I’m not sure she’d have been thrilled to see my face pop up on her screen. At 86 years old, […]
The government here in the UK stepped things up a gear yesterday as the fight against Coronavirus continues. Pubs, clubs, gyms, cafes, restaurants etc have all been told to close. For now, shops remain open although I can see that changing if things don’t improve. If you are off to shops today or over the […]
Seems the country is heading for a shutdown. Didn’t see it coming? Then you must have been in hibernation for the last few months.

The PM and his trusted sidekicks issued an update on the Coronavirus yesterday evening. Some of the questions Wall Streets finest asked them afterwards had me wondering whether or not one of the local schools had sent a couple of six year olds to the press conference. Then again, six year olds do tend to […]
The next few weeks and months are going to be tough for us all. Take care in what you do, who you mix with and just be sensible. Listen to the advice being given, especially relating to the elderly. They need looking after, of course they do but do so from a distance. Don’t put […]
Covid-19 has got its hands around the worlds neck, we know that. Sport itself is bottom of list of priorities right now. Staying fit, healthy and virus free is all what matters. What happens over the next few weeks and months as far as football goes is anyone’s guess really although logic would suggest this […]
I wrote this post quite soon after our invincible season was safe for another year but after recent goings on at Anfield well, here it is. To go unbeaten during the 2003-04 season was a remarkable achievement. Everyone at the club together with its fans knew back then that it would take a special group […]
Arsenal issued an official statement late yesterday which read: Our London Colney training centre has been closed after head coach Mikel Arteta received a positive COVID-19 result this evening. Arsenal personnel who had recent close contact with Mikel will now self-isolate in line with Government health guidelines. We expect this to be a significant number […]
As parliament here in the UK hold another meeting about Covid-19 today, Donald Trump has placed a ban on all Europeans entering the USA from tomorrow. Those travelling from the UK and Ireland are exempt from the ban. A tough yet understandable stance. People here are being encouraged to be careful when making their choice […]
