I slumped in my seat as the Fulham players celebrated in the far corner. Bollocks. For the neutral, a decent game. Fulham had played well, and had deserved a point, but perhaps their victory – hello 1979, the lads would crucify me in the car – was equally of our doing as theirs. ...
Note George Weah’s white boots. In truth, this was a poor game. The first-half was very mundane with precious few strikes on goal. Chances increased after the break with Chelsea enjoying more of them. Midway through the second-half, Dennis Wise scored for us with a close-in prod after...
Once I got the boots home, I realized that the pair I was sold was actually two different sizes in the same box. The store claimed they were like that from the factory and seemed to struggle to figure out what to do about this. No big deal - they figured out they'd order me a ...
and the roads are cramped. So I spent the first couple weeks walking from the grocery store, to church, to the schools, and my feet were killing me. As I walked dozens of bikers would leisurely sail by and I gazed at them the way a man in a rowboat gazes...
With the end of the first-half approaching, Conor Gallagher made a fine run between two defenders but Enzo – new hair colour, new pink boots – over hit the ball. On forty-two minutes, a lightning break caught us out but Karim Benzema, rather quiet thus far, overstretched and missed. ...
The noise in the stadium was truly terrible too. But you knew that. I joked with Frank who sits behind me that “we can’t bring Cucarella on to liven things up because the fucker is already on.” Ho hum. The second half began, and we seemed to be sleep-walking during the opening...
It was an excellent afternoon in the fringes of outer London. To top it off, at the end of the game, the Frome contingent joined in with the home side’s raucous anthem. “Hersham Boys, Hersham Boys. Laced-up boots and corduroys. Hersham Boys, Hersham Boys. They call us the ...
David Luiz, wearing plain black boots – weirdo – tried to lob Cech, but was unsuccessful. Thankfully, we did not have too long to wait. A beautifully weighted through ball from Jorginho picked out the run of Marcos Alonso down our left. He soon spotted the figure of Pedro to his ...

Kalidou Koulibaly over hit a diagonal out to Pulisic to such an extent that I wondered if he had put his boots on the wrong feet. At least Pulisic looked full of running. Enzo looks a proper footballer doesn’t he? There was a swift break that flew through the Everton defence but we ...
