The Rovin Reporter Brings You The View From The Shed

Proof Reader Sacked: Look; the last issue was put together in a damned hurry! There had been overindulgence during the Chrimbo and New Year festivities – seems like a long time ago doesn’t it? Things flew through Cyberspace at the last minute with some stuff arriving later than the Manè goal at Goodison. To cap it all our proof reader went to Sunderland and came home with a sore finger meaning he could only do one handed changes to Issue 229. And those, my dear readers are the facts. Just to remind you where we were at the time; second, five points adrift of the still runaway leaders Chelsea and I was cursing the name of Anthony Taylor for the free kick he presented to Sunderland when even from the back of the away end you could see it wasn’t.

Feel A Whole Lot Better: Not really. I returned home from yet another night out to hear Chelsea had lost at Tottenham. If we’d have won at Sunderland I might have contemplated punching air instead I contemplated punching an effigy of Anthony Taylor. Arsenal had shown anyone can get a bad result down at Bournemouth even though they probably saw it as a point gained due to their comeback. When everything was fed into the computer following the Festive Football glut nothing much had changed. We all get a week off from the Premier Leagues dazzling lights and journey through the foggy ruins of time towards the Third Round of the FA Cup.
