'Many Oxford fans were negative; despite equalling our away win tally, despite doing the only thing we could do, the performance was pulled apart; it wasn’t a win, it was a bad win.'

Saturday saw the running of the 12th Appleton Cup. Admittedly, not a trophy high on Gary Rowett’s agenda because it exists entirely as a figment of my imagination.  Many years ago, like b…

'Chris Wilder is a counter-puncher; he famously rallied against an official for eating a sandwich. But, equally, we're a counter-punching team. How do you counter-punch a counter puncher?'

'The ball fell to Placheta outside the box, his boot detonated the ball, projecting it at a savage pace that defied physics. The net convulsed as it entered the top right hand corner.'

After all the excitement of Thursday it's time to return to boring old football. My Hull City preview includes the Turkish Ant and Dec, a trillion dollar bid for Owen Dale and the moment Ian Atkins' dreams collapsed.
