I kid thee not, this event first took part last year to the bemusement of the locals and of the traffic heading up & down Bolton Road. It was such a success, unless you are a worm that the village people are after the underground snakes again June 8th this year. Really what more […]
Michael Jackson has a lot to answer for, well his namesake & that statue does. Fulham have been relegated from The Premier League when the infamous, Marmite syndrome “love it or hate it” statue was removed from the homely Craven Cottage. It now resides in city centre Manchester at the wonderful National Football Museum. While […]
The big Swede, Markus Holgerrson, at last made his debut for Wigan Athletic, albeit coming on at Blackburn as a substitute after 72 minutes. Holgerrson was signed as a free agent from New York Red Bulls in early February, with glowing references. His contract is until the end of the current season, which is impending. […]

Can one single incident define a club’s season? Blackpool fans might well cite Matt Gilks’ superb save from Martyn Waghorn’s penalty on Saturday as the event that saved them from relegation. Latics had been well on top in that first 20 minutes and if they had scored the Tangerines might well have fallen apart. Waghorn […]
The recent relegation battle between The Chairboys & The Pirates caught my attention not only for the issue at stake but for the quartered shirt design of both clubs. Wanderers lost the match at Adams Park 2-1 which leaves them needing to win at Torquay United who themselves are already relegated and hope that Bristol […]
Republic of Ireland 5 (Donnelly 2, Davis 2 [1 pen], Geoghegan) Germany 2 (Kobierski, Szepan) Saturday, 17th October 1936 “No previous occasion demanded so much from Ireland’s Soccer representatives as the visit of Germany on Saturday. Only on Wednesday last the Germans though beaten by Scotland had impressed the experts by what was described as […]
