Get off your couch potato backsides and support Wanderers

I WAS widely condemned when I wrote in this column in March last year how it would be better for Wycombe Wanderers to be relegated rather than promoted.

Give us a mayor like Boris or Ken

9:40pm Thursday 8th May 2008

IT REMAINS to be seen, of course, whether or not Boris Johnson will make a good Mayor of London. I have mixed feelings about the aptitude of the Henley MP for such a role and I will be genuinely interested to see what happens.
