A Case For Defence as Poppy Fever Subsides
Sometimes I wonder what I am going to to write about, then, suddenly, there are almost too many things to cram in to what is supposed to be a topical blog, so I have to trim it down to highlights. This week-end had so much going on it is hard to know where to start, but I think I will begin with the unlikely defeat of the World and European football champions (Spain) by a limited but spirited England side who I have learned to ...
