Community, Memories and a Little Football Heaven
It was a foul. Even now I still believe it was a foul. Emi had the ball and was unceremoniously dumped on the ground. The referee signalled play on. The shouts rang out and Emi, in typical fashion, pounded his fists on the ground. Then something else happened. Emi got up, the roar of the […]

GUEST BLOG: Hughton 2013/14 vs Farke 2019/20…
The latest blogger to grasp the guest blog baton is Jack Green, the voice of the excellent Singing From The Nest. He poses the question, who would win if Chris Hughton’s Class of 2013/14 played Daniel Farke’s Class of 2019/20? His conclusion is perhaps not what you’d expect… Chris Hughton. Two words that make most […]
