All aboard the Slavia Express… Chooo Chooo.
It’s a rare occasion when I am confident of Slavia Praha getting a result. But this weekend is different, for a multitude of reasons. Slavia hit Brno for FIVE last week, yes, FIVE GOALS! We should have seen it coming, given it was the start of five consecutive days of Gambrinus Liga and it was […]

Although we are just a week into the season we can draw some conclusions from the previous […]
