Baker & Kelly – A New Download

You know what? Over the last couple of weeks or so, I’d rather forgotten about these Baker & Kelly downloads. Well, not so much “forgotten” as “repeatedly thought that I should really start putting these up again and, erm, not doing it”. Anyway, it has been drawn to my attention that this blog has got [...]

The Most Objectionable Player Of 2007

At any point over the last five years or so, Craig Bellamy would have been a shoo-in for any “Most Objectionable Player Of The Year” award, but Craig has had, by his own standards, a quiet year, so there can only be one winner in 2007 – Joey Barton. Now, I don’t know what the [...]

A Mixed Day

It had been a great afternoon, even to be at home with a bunged up, well, everything, watching the latest goals coming in on BBC Score. Spurs and Reading were involved in yet another extraordinary match at White Hart Lane (and my, hasn’t there been a lot of those in the Premier League this season?), [...]

Five Quick New Year Wishes

Obviously, in an ideal world I’d say “knickers” to football and go for the alpaca (see left), but this isn’t really an option and, besides, this place remains a football blog rather than an alpaca blog (although I’m open to suggestion on this subject as well). Anyway, I’m still a little feverish, so here are [...]

I Haven’t Been Deliberately Letting This Place Go To Seed

…but a mixture of Christmas and being knocked sideways by a really unpleasant bout of flu has meant that I haven’t been able to post on here over the last few days. I’ll try and get something up on here tonight, I promise.

Messing With The Wrong People

When I posted on the argument brewing between the Northern Premier League, Invision (who provide a live broadband match service) and FC United of Manchester before on here, I wouldn’t have guessed at the surprising events that have come about since and these events are threatening to spiral out of control. Following on from FCUM’s [...]

The Christmas Rush

The last few days have been eerily quiet. The week before Christmas is always like the calm before the storm – the League Cup quarter-finals like the first big, inky spots of rain before all hell breaks loose and the storm that is the Christmas schedule starts. In case you’re unaware of what I’m talking [...]

End Of Week Round Up Re-Visited

I’ve been exceptionally pressed for time over the last few days or so, so I thought that now would be as good a time as any to bring you all up to date with a few stories that featured on here over the last few weeks or so.
- I mentioned briefly on here the [...]

Here We Go Again, Then

Deja vu is a strange feeling, isn’t it? You might be forgiven a double dose of it this week, as the League Cup reached the quarter-final stage. Still, the four matches brought about considerably more than twice the entertainment that “Super Sunday” did last weekend, even though we’re not really supposed to care about it [...]

Baker & Kelly Offline

Now seems like as appropriate moment as any to do this, so I might as well do it now. As most of you are probably aware, the Baker & Kelly podcasts of the last few weeks have come to a shuddering halt with this announcement on their website. I do have an opinion on this [...]
