Back to it
We’ve not been affected as much this season as in previous seasons, but the EFL really need to get a grip of International Breaks for clubs in League One’s and Two’s. The amount of lost revenue to club’s missing out on Saturday fixtures through no fault of their own. We only had half of the […]
Can we go back to August?
All isn’t well at the Brick Community Stadium at the moment and it shows. First off let’s give full credit to Hemel Hempstead Town, The Tudors as they’re affectionally known should be the ones in the Second round – not us. Ryan Lowe admitted as much after Saturday’s game, I think without penalties Hemel would […]
Other Stuff
Blackpool calling
It’s New Year and that can only mean one thing, not a return to work not a set of un-assailable New Year resolutions but for me and over a thousand other people THE soul music event of the year. For the uninitiated let me set some context to this claim. Now in to a fourteenth […]
Brut: not just an aftershave
With Saturday’s game against Sheffield Wednesday on the horizon, we’ve been turning our minds to things that would be worth going to Sheffield for, even if you didn’t want to pay £33 to get into a football match.

A bump in the road
What is that I detect? A bump in the road. I’d like to think it’s more of a pothole than one of those sleeping police men that ruin your suspension. You can’t win them all as the old saying goes and the ironic thing is we could and probably should have won on Tuesday night […]
Gone, but not forgotten
If the season had been that little bit less stressful, if Latics had won just a couple more games and if the tendency to knock long balls onto Heskey’s head had been a little less obvious then we might have spent a little more time discussing the relative merits of the players that are actually […]
A Likely (Lads) Story
“Is it true that England play their next game on Sunday afternoon?” And with that one simple question, my whole afternoon had become wasted. I don’t suppose Mrs Perm knew what she was doing, but after spending the previous three hours avoiding any mention of the game, forgoing my travelling home internet time and having […]
