The Mailbox returns with Liverpool in ‘another comedy week’, while Manchester United are hailed for doing something Arsenal were ‘totally vilified’ for… Send your thoughts to theeditor@football365.com…   Cherki is ‘better’ than Liverpool’s ‘wafty German ballerina’… I did tell y’all that Cherki was a better player than the wafty German ballerina before the season started, especially when you get millions in change, plus Timmy Reindeer, for price of one Teutonic goal shy lightweight.

We know the Goodwood aerodrome for the wonderful Revival and Members’ Meetings it…

If I were to gaze into a crystal ball and predict what kinds of articles classic car magazines will be pumping out in 25 years’ time, staring back at me from within the quartz would be one letter and two numbers: B58. A few pages on the history, the birth, the need for a new adaptable straight six that could handle a few configurations would be a gimme; a double-page spread on its tunability and value for money on the used market another. But the big cover lead would be a group test of every car this engine featured in,…

We don’t want to get carried away, but one has to ask if what Aston Villa are doing is in fact some kind of dark magic, threatening the very fabric of existence and putting the entire universe at risk. This 2-1 victory at Chelsea was Villa’s sixth win from behind this season. Nobody else has more than three. Six wins is as many of any kind as Newcastle or Spurs have fashioned all season. Villa’s points per game for the whole season is 2.17; that drops only as far as 2.00 for games where they fall behind. These are already…
