2020: it s not been an easy one.
For the first time in most of our lives, football was suspended across the country for months. We had to wait 106 days between defeating Watford in March and trumping AFC Bournemouth in June and many of us will never have endured such a prolonged period without backing the lads in person.
But, if one thing has become clear, it s football s ability to provide a welcome break from whatever is happening off the pitch. It s one of the primary reasons the sport resumed at all, and its return brought relief for many supporters - even if it came through a TV screen.
