The festive season is over. In truth, it never really began, passing with little fanfare from my side. Tottenham’s stunning victory over Chelsea was the only match that really got the pulse racing, while pretty much everything else went…
Stoke v Man United (AWAY WIN) 9/10 – The Red Devils have finally found their rhythm and currently sit in third place, unbeaten in their last nine games since their 1-0 defeat at Manchester City. Since then United have…
