I’m fed up of whining about our fans, so thanks to Jimmy over at The Mudhutter for going full tilt in the right direction, saving me lots of words and allowing me to get straight into bragging about my free day in the posh seats. I don’t even have to promote anything in return. So […]
Pete from ManCityblog.com popped over, ahead of Sunday’s Latics v Man City game, for a virtual brew this week and took the chance to ask me some questions. In return I got the chance to try and get closure on some old wounds.
Will you all reckon I’m getting old if I make a comment about how quickly we’ve got around to Thursday again? What about if I start off with a moan about the rubbish weather? Perhaps I am getting old, but with Manchester City coming to town on Sunday, being old is the perfect excuse to […]
Latics 1-1 Sunderland Saturday 11th September 2010 As much as we love it, as much as we paint it as an art and revel in its occasional moments of sheer, as much as we’d like to pretend otherwise, football is a game of clichés. One match of the day script is pretty much interchangeable with […]
No match previews this week, I just can’t be doing with the clash of complexes that has become the build up to any Latics v Sunderland game. I’ll leave the reasoning behind that superiority/inferiority divide for when I finally get around to sitting that psychology ‘A’-Level and try and get on with what will hopefully […]
The more observant amongst you have probably spotted that I’ve not said anything about the Spurs result, and barely anything about the Hartlepool game that preceded it. That’s 50% down to me being busy, 20% down to that “I’ve got ages, there’s a fortnight before we play again” feeling that comes with every international break […]
Not a patch on playlist #8 It’s hard to say what would have happened had England qualified for the world cup in 1994 but chances are that I’d have spent more time watching football than courting and could be sat here now with no kids and no mortgage living the life of Riley, not that […]
Do I need to remind you of my feelings towards Paul Scharner? Things will be so much easier if we can leave that at my never having rated him, he was my favourite left back, provided that he was left back in whichever suburb of Washington is reserved for c-list footballers. He might have played […]
If I’d been given a pound to go with every snide remark I’ve read or heard about attendances at Latics then I’d probably have enough money to buy up all the spare tickets at the DW ensuring a home sell out for the rest of the season. I’m also guessing that I’d be too minted […]
It’s been a fair old week. Battered by Chelsea, professional at Hartlepool fingers pointing and backs being whispered behind; no fear though because we’re only going to visit the fourth best team in the country last season. Still, instead of throwing yourself off the nearest “reply to thread” button maybe you should watch some cricket […]
