You get a different class of chant at the Oxford Cambridge women’s football match. Held in a 12,000 seater stadium, that of Cambridge United, more than 1,500 folks crammed into one stand made some noise. “I’d rather go to Durham than Oxford” they chanted. That is far more genteel abuse than that which daughter 2 and I used to hear at the old Upton Park.

“Oh what a tangled web we weave. When first we practice to deceive.” Andrew Monk, as he oft reminds us went to Oriel College Oxford where he studied rowing and name dropping. So he probably thinks the quote is from Shakespeare. You, dear reader, know that it is from Walter Scott, Marmion, A tale of Flodden Field. But in terms of Monk’s VSA capital (VSA) and its results out today it is apposite although, I should stress, the results are fully compliant with all accounting standards.
