Re: Lancashire League weekend

Tbf the camera angles at many grounds can be such that there's barely anyone in the background, but there's actually a very healthy crowd out of sight in and around the pavilion whi...

Re: Flemming
Foster always looks to me like he's been to the same school as Koleosho. Excellent in many respects and has good control, can be really tricky, absolutely committed and shows great skill, but then can't play the (often easy!) final pass or find a colleague. And in Foster's case doesn't score either ...
