I’ve always known that the press in this country are a bunch of scandalous cads. I’ve some personal experience as one of these creatures (from the ‘Screws of the World’) slim-ed his way into our school after hearing a sixth former had got one of the teachers pregnant. By the way, back then this was […]

So another rubbish season, slightly more rubbish than last as this year we were relegated. You look at the League 2 fixture list for good weekends away ‘Bournemouth has a good nightlife…oh no wait..they went up’. A depressing conclusion to an absolutely crushing year. This time last season we were the in-form team, if our […]

Sometimes shit happens! When are we going to get out of this blame game culture? ‘Oh no another rant’ I hear you say. I need to get this one off my chest though so listen and listen well. The straw that broke this particular camel’s back was the news this week that there has been […]

Have the English teams been overachieving recently? Of course, they have! You speak to anyone in Europe and they’ve spoken about the English game as if it’s the zenith of football. This year’s Champions League campaign just proves what can be achieved if you give your opposition the respect they deserve and not what you […]

Arrogant, condescending, and rude, but also determined and loyal. After Ron Martin’s Q and A on Monday I personally feel at least a little reassured.

It seems that my pre-season pessimism was not completely unfounded. The Chairman has since proved to be the swindling swine I’d hoped he wouldn’t be. It turns out you do need to replace your defenders if they leave. And not paying any of your staff does wonders for morale. With relegation looming there are few […]

A new year is upon us (again!) and with it the optimism. We have a World Cup this year and the closest Premiership for years. Correct, I’m quite clearly shifting focus away from the Blues. I fear for the Blues this year. If we can get through the transfer window without any loss of playing […]

I’m all up for sport evolution but it needs to be in the right areas. I’m fed up with FIFA making excuses as to why we shouldn’t introduce technology into Football. Every other sport is moving quicker than Football. There have been enough comments made about the need for technology so I’m not going to […]

I have a list of sporting venues and events I wish to see. On that list is Twickenham the home of English rugby. Some of my die-hard football fanatics had given their input on my decision to go. “Is it so you can stick your private part in a pint of Tetleys”, “It’s the strangest […]
