Martin Writes..
Here's a bit I wrote proving Antonio Conte was an angry young man even before he joined Spurs, and why the comparative serenity of Ange Postecoglou may turn out to be blessed relief.
If you enjoy this kind of historic document, there is tons more in my book Wrestling In Honey, now available in very few good bookshops.... more - >The Bus Pass Bodybuilders & Motty's Giant Sentence Screen Break
Another sample of my hit book, Wrestling In Honey, a collection of some of the old tat I wrote, chiefly for The Guardian and the Racing Post.

I'm a patriotic punter and have backed the UK's Mae Muller to win at 28-1. A collection of some of my old tat will be released in book form this Spring (2023), but this piece failed to make the cut.... more - > Back in 2009, we were hoping Andy Murray would solve the economic crisis Screen Break
