I ain’t heard a peep about this. The Royal Rumble is, hands down, my favourite wrestling match. The whole procedure is my favourite kind of match. When WWE added a women’s Rumble to each PPV so I got two in one night, I was overjoyed. And even when it’s not…

It was a breathless, back-and-forth encounter that delivered the hype it promised, and despite the existence of a minor gulf between them and the other twenty-two sides in the league, they also showed the major differences between themselves. The Cottagers were in…

You might have heard that Leeds United disappeared out of the Premiership for sixteen years back in 2004. That was largely to do with money, as I’m sure you know. Leeds had pumped so much into the club that if they didn’t qualify for Champions League football for the 2002/03…
