When Sergio Ramos hauled Mo Salah to the ground in Kiev last May, ending his participation in the Champions League final, you could be forgiven for a familiar feeling entered the mind.
Nice guys finish last.
Salah, a great person, hugely sporting footballer and icon in his homeland, was cut down in his prime by one...
“2019 Resolution: time to get in touch, for real.”

It’s not the hope that kills you. It’s never the hope that kills you.
Languishing in mediocrity, having to play in Macedonia on a miserly Thursday night, with aspirations of only being relevant again, that’s what kills you. Being nowhere, existing but not prospering, that’s what kills you.
