Well Red

Feeling a little guilty at the lack of new reading material I have been providing loyal ten minutes hate readers with lately, so instead here is a reminder to get yourself a copy of some of the finest football writing around when issue 3 of Well Red magazine hits newsstands next week.  Or order online [...]

If Liverpool fans and others who take [...]
