In modern days anyone with access to technology and a bit of free time, is able to write and/or give opinions about virtually any subject (i.e. Internet forums, newspapers commentary boxes, etc). Football being probably one of the most followed subject around the globe is not therefore immune to this trend. The downfall of this, […]
For the second time in three years, no English club featured in the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season. Manchester City were knocked out by a ruthless Barcelona side, Arsenal were embarrassingly beaten by an organised Monaco unit and even Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea side – who have dominated the Premier League this year – couldn’t […]
The 1980s were a simpler, but in many ways a better time. A tweet was a bird’s way of talking shite and not a humans, One Direction hadn’t been born yet, Mr T still wasn’t going on no plane and everyone dreamed of what it would be like after the year 2000 when everyone’s chosen […]
When the final whistle blew at the Emirates on Sunday, Chelsea’s players celebrated virtually sealing the already virtually sealed Premier League title. John Terry was centre stage again, wearing his full kit with shin pads, which is ok this time I guess since he was playing (maybe he wears another full kit underneath when playing […]
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from being interested in football for all these years is that football award shows are both unbelievably played out but mainly just a bit predictable. The same people competing for the same awards year in year out. Try sitting through the Ballon D’Or ceremony, its agony. So in the […]
I can’t believe that my club could go down to the fourth tier of football. As a Coventry City supporter since the halcyon days of Jimmy Hill I’ve been through all the highs and lows of following my beloved Sky Blues, but leaving the Ricoh Arena on Saturday after losing to fellow strugglers Crewe I […]
Blog number fourteen in the #Doingthe92 challenge is a visit to Bramall Lane. Home of League One Sheffield United. And for the third time in this challenge, I was doing fundraising with Prostate Cancer UK. However, unlike the last two times where I did pitch side photos for the charity, Sheffield United wouldn’t allow me […]
Blog number thirteen in the #Doingthe92 challenge is a visit to the AESSEAL New York Stadium. Home of Championship side, Rotherham United. If you recall in my last blog, I emailed a handful of clubs hoping to do some pitch side photos. Rotherham was the second, and last, club to email back saying yes. For […]
As Manchester United soundly thrashed their near neighbours at the Theatre of Dreams on Sunday afternoon, the mood changed. No longer were the great Manchester United, 20 times champions, simply fighting for a top four finish. The belief has come back. Chelsea are seven clear with a game in hand, but that won’t matter. United […]
Blog number twelve in the #Doingthe92 challenge is a visit to St. Andrews. Home of Championship side, Birmingham City. One of many places I was not looking forward to visiting. Mostly because of stories I had been told about the city by my mum and friends of mine. But like many places on this list, […]
