I think it is rather funny that I was going to run this Legends’s post on a day where the comments on the previous post were curiously Carletto related. You can say what you want about Carletto as a player or a coach, but his legacy certainly speaks for itself.

Sunday’s game is about as loaded a game as we are going to see next to the Derby. This fixture last season, a 3-1 loss, proved to be the straw that broke the camel’s back as we dropped out of contention for a Champions League place. Revenge is always a great motivator, but [...]
