If at first you don’t succeed, pull out the checkbook and try again. That’s the situation Chelsea are in right now, after having their offer for Nicolas Anelka rejected by Bolton.

African Cup of Nations 2008 Damage Report – Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton and Portsmouth worst-hit

Looking at English football fan arrests from the 2006/2007 season

In a recent article, I discussed the incident involving Manchester United and Roma fans that resulted in four United fans being jailed for assault and resisting arrest, and whether or not football violence was getting out of hand.

Charity, Empathy and Chas to Tea

I remain a slave to tradition. Every year, I make a complete fool of myself at the office Christmas party, and this year was no exception. After consuming a few too many ales, I made a misguided play for the cleaner under the mistletoe. He was absolutely livid. My luck is unlikely to improve over…
