As Bad As It Got: Chelsea

The esteemed football magazine “When Saturday Comes” (reserve your copy from all good newsagents today!) has, for a long time, run a series called “As Good As It Got”, in which contributors describe the greatest moment of their club’s history. As I am a massive plagiarist, I thought this blog could do with something similar, [...]

Six Of The Best

Right. Before we get on with evening’s serious business, a few thanks to make, and they go to those of you that voted for me in the OleOle competition, because I have been nominated to go to Japan in a week and a bit or so to report on the World Club Championships. I still [...]

Seconds Out… Round Two

You might think that I’m a little early with this, but it’s time to take a look forward to the second round of the FA Cup. There is a practical reason for this. There’s not a lot going on this week. There are half a dozen matches on tomorrow night, and I’ll be taking a [...]

It Takes Two To Tango

Last weekend, everything was overshadowed by Manchester United and Chelsea. Two massive clubs, with tens of millions of pounds at their disposal, both expected to make the latter stages of the Champions League, and what did they produce? Well, a great big load of nothing, to be frank. The charitable thing to say would be [...]

The Weekend Starts Here!

Well, obviously there was some football played this week. One of the great problems with the group stages of the Champions League is that the results are often meaningless, relatively. It’s all very well, Celtic beating Manchester United over the two matches, but isn’t it somewhat meaningless if both teams qualify for the next round? [...]

Spam, Spam, Spammity Spam

I should point out that I am being badgered (yes, BADGERED!) to put this back up on here this afternoon. Today is the last day of voting in the Ole Ole World Club Championships competition, so if you feel that I offer something beautiful to the football blogosphere, and wish to send me off to [...]

To Complete Your Collections…

As I pointed out last night, there have been several previous posts on here featuring football related music, and tonight it’s time to tie up a few loose ends and complete your collections – or as near as I can manage. There are, I have to admit, gaps. I appear to have missed the bus [...]

I Love To Glove

It has been another busy day. Duty requires me to remind you all again to vote for me, but this is largely an aside this evening. There are plenty of other things to get through tonight. Firstly, quick round up of what’s coming up. Following on from this, this, this and this, there’ll be another [...]

Gulls Night Out

Well, what a peculiar twenty-four hours it has been. Thanks to some judicious spamming, this has been the busiest day on here for quite some time. So, first of all, many thanks to all of you that have stopped by and, of course, to those of you that have taken the time to vote for [...]

Monday Night Football

Well, I had an exceptionally busy weekend, so many apologies for not having had the time to update this place since Friday. First up, a bit of shameless self-promotion. This blog has, for whatever reason, been short-listed in a competition for me to go to Japan and report on The FIFA World Club Championships. Now, [...]
