Saturday 21st of January 2017 was a dark dark dark dark day for some of us…. Yes, you know where I am talking about you bastards. The unrighteous, undeserved and unjustified decision to vote for The Raven, having made a goal and an assist, to be Turkey of the Match. An absolute scandal and it […]
Turkeys vs Cocks Breaking from tradition I have decided to type this report up, keeping in line with improvements in modern technology.

Another Friday. Another game. Another win? […]
