TO SAY 2021 WAS ANEVENTFUL YEAR IS TRULY AN UNDERSTATEMENT WITH ALL WHAT'S GONE ON. WE ALL THOUGHT THE PANDEMIC WAS COMING TO AN END BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE NEXT FEW MONTHS ARE GOING TO BE VERY CHALLENGING FOR US ALL. PLEASE STAY SAFE AND I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST FOR THE NEW YEAR. THANKYOU FOR THE ALL THE SUPPORT YOU GIVE ME IN WRITING THE COLD END WHICH STILL REMAINS INDEPENDENT AND ONLY FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME - I DO THIS FOR THE LOVE OF FOOTBALL AND NOT TO MAKE ANY MONEY!
