Maybe my favourite footballing day of the year, and the hottest ticket in town. And while, unfortunately, one of those passes was not in my hand, I still had digital access to two cup finals in one afternoon — it’s a wonderful world sometimes. Kicking us off first was the…

Oh, how good it is to see the fifth tier back and, if not kicking, certainly spinning on the spot entertainingly. The ‘non-league’ levels are getting back into the swing of things and this premiere event showcased all the shine the divisions had to offer, as well as the dire…

Exactly five months ago, I wrote an epilogue on Bournemouth’s clash with Fulham sub-titled ‘the two best sides in the division’. So confident was I in my claim that I predicted them to be the two to go up automatically at the start of the season and maintained this view…
