The Shackles are off Ladies and Gentlemen; our young guns are flying again! Jurgen Klopp may have been right in putting the brakes on expectation, but how can you not be excited by what is unfolding before our very eyes? 1-6 at St Marys, 1-4 at the Etihad and 1-3 at Stamford Bridge are the […]
“You’d think he was a Spanish player, a real European player.
