Contrary to unpopular opinion, for many of us football isn’t just about twenty-two people kicking a bag of air back and forth for ninety minutes every week until the end of time.

The February EFL Round-Up With Saint and Greavsie.

While Retirement Homes up and down the country batten down the hatches for Storm Emma and turn the heating low in the hope of freeing up a few beds, Britain’s two most eligible pensioners are keeping themselves warm trading memories of the past. Trophies, champagne and women, this pair have certainly filled their boots in […]

The August EFL Round-Up with Saint and Greavsie
