The Texas Link Repository

It’s Friday night and I’m feeling lazy, so here’s a quick look at the rest of the internet this week.
- After what I can only describe as “too long”, the venerable magazine When Saturday Comes has finally given its web site a much-needed lick of paint. There will be daily daily blog posts [...]

Football Shorts 3

After all the excitement of the weekend, it’s nice to have a sit down, relax and take in a little of what has been happening in that parallel universe that we call Footie World (Actually, I don’t call it “footie”, but if it’s a parallel universe, then it has to have a different name, [...]

Football Shorts 2

Gah. I was full on enthusiasm for going to a match this afternoon but, when push came to shove, an hour and a half up to Middlesex to see AFC Wimbledon play there and the same journey back was just too much for me after so many weekends away already this year was just a [...]

Voting On Super Tuesday

I’m not, it has to be said, particularly good at “blowing my own trumpet” (stop sniggering at the back). However, in the true spirit of 2008 being The Year In Which I Start Whoring Myself, I am honour-bound to draw your attention to the Soccerlens Blog Awards, nominations for which are now open. To my [...]

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 [...]

Back Of The Net

It’s Friday night, and it’s the Second Round of the FA Cup. I’m watching the match between Horsham and Swansea City as we speak, so here are some choice highlights of other stories that have grabbed my attention.
- The Guardian’s “Six Of The Best” series takes a look at commentators, which has reminded me [...]

You May Notice…

This place being a bit quieter over the next few days or so. I will still, hopefully, be posting every other day, and this will be alternated with “The Box In The Corner”, which I have noticed has fallen into a state of disrepair (thanks to my own neglect) – the other place is to [...]

A Couple Of Quick Points

I meant to put something massively self-indulgent up here the other day to celebrate the 500th post on this little blog (I’ve been wearing a party hat for the last three days, in case you were wondering), but I forgot. So, I thought I’d quickly mention it here, and take the opportunity to thank all [...]

It’s Oh So Quiet

First of all, something of an apology to any of you that might have lumped your money on OM to take a hiding at the hands of Besiktas last night on the strength of how awful I said they were last Saturday. They were really dreadful, I promise. Still, as I’ve said before, anyone that [...]

Marching On Together?

I’ve had an evening off from this place, but you can see the fruits of my labours on Pitch Invasion. It’ll be up on there at some point in the near future (providing it’s not judged to be too libellous or whatever – although, my word, I’d like to see Ken Bates take my thoughts [...]
