Barren winter = barren future ?
Some experts are predicting that we are due to experience the worst winter for 60 years ("100 days of heavy snow" etc). Bearing in mind that the awful winter of 1963 decimated the Football League programme, with some teams not playing for fully two months, I really fear for our cash flow. Say we...- jaffa1

So, another season bites the dust and it’s all over bar the fighting at the Wembley mud bath.
