Why Avram Grant must go…
I’m not much of an art historian, but had Michelangelo been sacked from the Sistine Chapel gig for being a bit of a prima donna and generally annoying the Catholic hierarchy, I suspect the incumbent Pope wouldn’t have called in Luigi’s Painters and Decorators and asked them to whack a dollop or two of emulsion [...]
Après moi le déluge
So said Marie-Antoinette a little over 200 years ago from the tumbril on the way to her appointment with the guillotine, and her foresight was spot on.

We are apparently a club in crisis on and off the [...]
The Ghosts of Christmas Past: The Chelsea Christmas Review
Remember the good old days? Remember the two consecutive seasons that we actually went through Christmas unscathed? Maximum points anyone? Of course you do because they were the last two glorious years. Prior to these two glorious years, no matter who was at the reigns we would all rush headlong into the Christmas period blinded by [...]
