Back in 2023, Cambridge faced an uphill battle to stay up. They had to win and hope results elsewhere went their way.
They won 2-0. It was a nervous wait, but complete pandemonium when they heard MK Dons had lost and they’d stayed up.
Quality! 😍👏
When Peter Crouch writes about Abbey Clancy, he makes it clear she has never been that interested in football.
He says it is “not unknown” for her to text him at 2:45pm on a Saturday and ask where he is.
He actually likes it that way.
It means that when he walks through the door, he can switch off completely.
He gives one example from a day he would rather forget.
Two yards out.
He hits the crossbar.
After the game he is “obviously a little down on” himself.
Abbey sees it straight away and asks what is wrong.
He tells her he has just hit the crossbar from two yards.
She does not react like someone who understands football.
She reacts like someone who thinks he has just done something special.
“The crossbar? But that’s such a small target.”
“Anyone could have hit the net – that’s easy, it’s right in front of you.”
“But you managed to hit something right up above your head, and first time.”
“That’s amazing!”
He walks in gutted about missing from two yards.
And his wife is convinced he has just produced something world class.
I’m so excited to start this journey. It’s gonna be a rollercoaster for sure but I hope to bring Dagenham and Redbridge (@Dag_RedFC) back to the glory days. For those of you that are OG fans (Race to Division One), you’ll know that this is a full circle moment for me. So join me on this exhilarating adventure and I’ll see you all at Victoria road this Saturday! I’ll be streaming too haha
Under any other circumstances, I’d want Arsenal to win the league over City or Liverpool.
But this squad, their manager, their style of play… everything about them is unbearable. I just can’t support it.
