So we usually do these things by flicking through our little black books for an opposition fan that we’ve know, either through the fanzine, the website or through messing about on Twitter rather than doing any proper writing. Occasionally the page for a club is blank. Like when we didn’t have a ‘sixy talk’ […]
As much as I’ve enjoyed hobnobbing with the stars over the last couple of days, it’s always good to keep your feet on the ground, your backside off the padded seat and speak to the common man. But as we’re playing Fulham this weekend that proved a bit hard. But in amongst the celebs […]
Badgering professional footballers into giving us content for articles isn’t what we’re usually about, but following yesterday’s Left Foot, Right Foot, Header I got into a mini-conversation between Latics fan Andy Baird (@bleedingthumbs) and Roman Golobart about the Two Gallants song that I’d included.
The thing about regular features is that you have to do them regulalrly, or else they’re just… irregular. And no one wants irregular features, well maybe not no one, but we don’t really get many Mansons or Gagas down at the DW. Anyway I digress… it’s time for another perfect hat-trick and as it’s January […]
What do you know? I’ve done some checking and it turns out that they have the Internet In the lower divisions too. I’m only joking of course, but I had considered having a week off from Sixy Talk this week, if only to give my brain a chance to settle down after a fortnight’s […]
For some reason, I’ve been struggling with the intro to this week’s Sixy Talk, it’s probably the intensive training I’ve been under for what’s looking like a New Year’s Eve/Day double headed drinking session (a.k.a. Christmas) but it’s possibly because I want to say something serious (and at the same time brief) about why we’ve […]
How many Villa fans does it take to do a pre-match Q&A? Well here at This Northern Soul, we’re just like Sonny and Cher, so it takes two. David and Damian from Villa sites ‘My Old Man Said’ and ‘The Villa Blog’ respectively propped round to give us their views on their billionaire, balti […]
It may be the festive season and we may be spending most of our time eating, drinking and being merry (well the first two anyway), but we still love you, our loyal readers enough to get out and about looking for clued up opposition fans to pester with daft questions about pies. This time […]
OK, I know you’re not going to remember this, but it was (almost) a regular thing back in my Not A Patch On days and Jordi’s three goals the other week got me thinking about it again. You get the “Left foot, right foot, head” thing already; it’s a perfect hattrick, right? To be […]
Arsenal, love ‘em or hate ‘em we’ll still be playing them on Saturday dinner time and you’d still be pondering over things like just how posh their fans are, how they take their pies and the ins and outs of their boardroom power battles if we hadn’t gone out and grabbed the nearest ‘minor royal’ […]
