Raised expectations, spurned chances, transfer needs and winning runs – Notes on Huddersfield Town’s 1-0 win over Shrewsbury

Matches

The stadium looking beautiful in the sunshine Donald Trump, as loathsome as he is, does have a habit of coming out with good sound bites. He promised Republicans once that they would win so much under him that they would get bored of winning.

The video of the full presser is embedded at the bottom of the article if you want to see the whole thing. A summary of Lasse Soren...
