What a difference an N makes

I’ve taken a little break for the international week, but events certainly have not, and with the possibility of a full scale revolt on our hands after this weekend, the first thing I want to do here is a little news roundup.

Clearly, I don’t want to write a match review. I’d simply make two points about the [...]

Bayern vs Bordeaux-A very quick preview

By: Luke | 2 Comments

Sorry to say, that I simply don’t have the time to properly preview this critical Champions League match. We’ll have to dispense with the liveblog for this one as well, although I will be watching. We’ll hope to have a recap posting up not long after the match.
With both Müller and Van [...]
