In 30 years of the Premier League, only three teams have ever survived relegation having been bottom of the league at Christmas. That got me thinking a fun challenge would be to try and brand ourselves a survival specialist and attempt to buck that trend in the virtual world.
The Journeyman | Blue Moon: Part 2 – Putting Dislikes Aside
The life of a football manager is such that you have to put aside personal preferences and favourite clubs in order to achieve your professional goals. And that was the case as Bolton Wanderers fan Robí Sebastian Jesús di Lathamé took the reigns at Manchester City.
Marching On Together: Part 14 – Amazingly Ridiculous
I'll freely admit that today's episode of Marching On Together is totally ridiculous, but at the same time brilliantly amazing.

Marching On Together: Part 2 – Exciting Title Race
The Leeds United save had gotten off to a great start, heading into 2019 on a three-month unbeaten streak.
