‘Best in The League By A Mile’

“What a footballer Luka Modric is, hats off. Best in the league by a mile.”
Oh well how nice. The 140 or less characters tapped into social networking guru Joey Barton’s keyboard on Sunday. You might have a point there, Joseph. Not too sure about his earlier efforts regarding Simon Cowell and the desire to see [...]

The Joy of Three

As the first half drew to a close, like kids again Spurs knocked the ball around just for the sheer pleasure of playing the game.
