I had a dream

Posted on August 28, 2014 by Sophie

And it wasn’t a good one. Not sure if it was some sub-conscious Clarence Park withdrawal symptom but I do not see that I deserve a dream where I witness the mighty Saints lose 8 (eight)- 0. Opposition unknown (my … Continue reading →

FC FC

Posted on August 13, 2014 by Sophie

Feast or famine

Posted on January 14, 2014 by Sophie
