Goldy’s Logic: Wigan’s win over Manchester City good for the heart
As we await our own Champions League final against Southampton, Stephen Goldsmith reflects on yesterday’s rousing win by Wigan over Man City that restored some of the romance of the FA Cup 40 finals since our glory of 1973 – and winces at commentary idiocies …
Don Hutchison: undoubted Mag slayer, but questionable Cattermole logic?
Stephen Goldsmith writes, It seems we’re back to the Cattermole debate again. Well, not really. I have made my feelings and opinion known on his importance to the side so Idon’t want to cover too much old ground. It appears, like me, O’Neill is prepared to persevere with his captain despite the potential percentage of [...]
Goldy says: O’Neill’s January business suggests wind of change at Sunderland
At the time of writing Sunderland AFC have been linked in the press with a whole host of players, from Peruvians and Argentinians to Austrians and Spaniards – even a self confessed Mag fan but as yet only two signings and one of those on loan.

The subsequent red card that followed was to be his fifth in four seasons, yet amazingly, fast forward two days [...]
Goldy’s Logic: how Cattermole, Colback, Gardner can prove themselves indispensable for Sunderland
Stephen Goldsmith examines the squad at Martin O’Niell’s disposal and assesses tactics, strengths and weaknesses …
Goldy’s Logic: how Olympics athletes had it cushy compared with unloved footballers
Everyone has been saying how nice it was to see happy, smiling, approachable Olympics competitors instead of those surly, monosyllabic footballers. Without quite suggesting sainthoods for best fan-avoidance technique – hoods, Ipods, earphones, shades, lowered heads – Stephen Goldsmith offers some balancing thoughts …
Goldy’s logic: Olympics euphoria – football’s pariahs
With a record haul of gold medals apart from when rope climbing, tug of war and ballroom dancing were de rigueur in the Olympic Games, Stephen Goldsmith wonders why the public and press alike love to love our cyclists, rowers, dressage riders and triathletes while despising those involved in ‘the beautiful game’ …
