Trip to Saints offers nostalgic distraction

PICKING up my copy of The Sunday Times on the weekend, I was increasingly thrilled to read the banner headlines on its various sections as I unfolded the giant beast of a publication.

‘HATS OFF TO BERBATOV!’ screamed the sport bit, which is a line I may have used once or twice or 20 times here in the past.

Then out fell the Business section: ‘QATAR KICKS OFF BID TO BUY UNITED!’ yelled its lead story. Again, another frequent Kurt column trope, and by now I was getting rather excited.
