Posted on 30/09/2023 by Wichita Lineman Was A Song I Once Heard

Greed? Sure. But our indifference to UEFA’s decadence makes us equally complicit for the European Super League proposal existing.

The miserable truth behind Sky’s coverage of ‘Transfer Deadline Day’.

Posted on 01/09/2013 by Wichita Lineman Was A Song I Once Heard
