A season in the sun

My intention this week, for one week only, is to make this a Euros free-zone.

But that’s easier said than done. I’ve been away on a short break ahead of joining up with the squad in Dublin tomorrow but hardly a minute has gone by when my mind hasn’t been fixated on what’s coming up in Poland next month.

At least it was easy enough to be distracted last Sunday by what can only be described as the most exciting day in Premier League history. Of course, while the actual title drama was unfolding in Manchester and Sunderland, I was busy trying to help West Brom get a result against an Arsenal side who themselves needed a win to finish third in the league and thus avoid the qualifying rounds of the Champions League. And even though we heard in the dressing room after our match that Man City had snatched a last minute goal to win the title, it wasn’t until I got home and saw it on Sky and then later on Match of the Day that I got a real feel for what an enthralling climax to the season this was.
