It was more of a footballing masterclass by an unbelievably powerful Manchester United side, that played the [...]

“Who the f*** is Jimmy Bullard when the whites go marching on, on, on?” we sang as Erik the Viking slotted home his second to put a hard fought match out of Portsmouth’s reach. The scoreline may have flattered us but these were three vital points that put us back in the Premier League’s top [...]

Maybe the sun was in their eyes. Maybe it was the two week break since the last match. Whatever it was that spooked our boys yesterday afternoon, the net result was one of the worst displays witnessed for months.

“Keep the Faith. FFC.” It was a simple message scrawled on the toilet wall at Reading’s Madejski Stadium, but it was enough to remind us that our season is not over…not yet at least.

Having a young family – and all that entails – means that away trips are a rare luxury these days, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
The team’s perilous league position makes it vital that as many fans as possible follow them on the road. So with that in mind we set the alarm for [...]

It was a late decision – 6am Saturday morning, in fact – but we were at Derby yesterday afternoon to see what must surely be the final nail hammered into our coffin. Not being able to secure three points against a team already doomed to relegation or even hold on to a lead for more [...]
