The [url=http://www.backpassmagazine.co.uk/]Backpass[/url] magazine is a must for all football fans young and old, [url=http://www.yeoldetreeandcrown.co.uk/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=603&forum=1&post_id=1918#forumpost1918]Vat69[/url] originally flagged this up in May last year and I can conclusively confirm it is well worth a purchase,/subscription. The editorial is non biased and well written and the photographs are as good as you will get of certain era’s. Even […]
… And thinner, faster, didn’t drink as much and was better at football. You know the debate about how past heroes would have fared in the modern game (let’s call it the Campbell conundrum)? Or the one about whether more recently departed players would have coped with stepping up a division or two (the Ellington […]
Have I been saved from an evening freezing my balls off worried that Bolton were going to get one over on us or robbed of my pre-Christmas dose of football? Have Latics been robbed of a chance to get their season rolling or have they handily had an important game moved until after they’ve had […]
It doesn’t take that long for the Premier League sheen to wear off, does it? From must see away game in 2005/06, through “protect our goal difference at all costs” to a game you just want to get out of the way so that you can get on with the real stuff in three easy […]
Stoke 2-2 LaticsSaturday 12th December 2009 Not so much of a jungle, but the grass was certainly long enough to require the odd machete or two, which could explain some of the tackles thrown in on Jordi Gomez (that was a “chopper” pun in case you missed it) in this full blooded, winter warmer of an […]
I wouldn’t want you thinking that I didn’t do a Birmingham report or a Stoke preview because I had nothing to say about them, in fact I probably had too much to say. The simple excuse is I didn’t have the time, but, even more so, I really struggled to get the balance right. I […]
Anybody got a “second team” they support – I mean actually pay to watch? I suppose if you’re a normal person the answer’s no, but if you’re a saddoe like me it’s yes. My second team isn’t United, City, Liverpool, Everton etc, it’s a much more sensible choice (drum-roll), it’s ………… Rochdale! I’ve always had a soft […]
The Black Cats’ delusions of grandeur apart, a home win is pretty much the result we should be looking for against Bruce’s men. Fulham didn’t walk away with a “we should be beating sides like this” and anyone with any sense will tell you that it was the two results either side of the Spurs […]
Months of planning and hard work culminate this Saturday (5th December) at Indiependence Wigan (formerley Number15’s) with what is set to be the town’s biggest and best night of the year. The event will raise funds for local Cancer Charites. A cram packed line up over three floors is set to entertain and delight in aid of a […]
Sod Steve Bruce, forget Lee Cattermole and don’t worry a jot about what might happen with Manyor Figueroa. It’s not even about their overbearing, disillusioned but ultimately insecure Cyber Warriors and their “keep saying we’re a big club and eventually someone will believe us” attitude. I just don’t like Sunderland, and I blame Eric Gates. […]
