The Final Curtain

Nearly there folks, nearly there. There hasn’t been a lot from the 2013/4 campaign to put on the Doovdé Highlights – it’ll be a shorter watch than Great Michael Warner Goals Of Our Time (£1.99, VHS/Betamax). And after spending a good few months somehow losing to sides doing barely passable impressions of third tier teams, we’d rather …

Relief?

“Relief? Well, now let us see. Y’know, we don’t have any idea what that means. We know what you think it means, Mr Westley. To us, it’s just a made up word. A manager’s word, so young fellas like can wear a suit and a tie, and have a job…” The interpretation of just one word …

And On The Third Day…

The event was organised by Currys in partnership with Beko, sponsor of the FA Cup and manufacturer of a fantastic range of fridges and stylish built-in ovens. When it comes to representing, …

Sky Blue Thinking

You know when a result has been particularly naff when you’re still feeling miffed three days after the full time whistle was blown. We’ve had more than our fair share of losses this term, but few – if any – felt quite as gut-wrenching as MK Dons. Maybe it’s losing …

He’s Magic, You Know…

Karl Robinson is magic, or so it seems. After his MK Dons side overcame Swindon Town recently, they hauled themselves to seventh and within six points of the playoffs – where they’re still to be found. And Karl says for him to have guided them there is “a magician’s trick“, …

Is This The Way To… Carlisle? Oh?
