A bit of a disappointing start today with the news that our appeal to have Thomas Vermaelen’s red card overturned has been denied. Not sure why this decision was made – any sane individual could see it was not a foul and therefore not a sending off – but I suppose what needs to be [...]

Nice to have a bit of a pause today after what has been a fairly hectic start to the season. In terms of results things couldn’t be better really.
