Nickname: Notlob Most notorious person. Fat Sam Allerdyce – and his son Ownership: Some masochist or other Best known song: Not known – last time they were at the Emirates only 23 Bolton supporters turned up, so it was impossible to tell. Most obvious tactics: Rotational time wasting combined with rotational fouling. Greatest claim to…
Nickname: Sunderland (they are not necessarily very imaginative up north) Most notorious person. Niall Quinn who has a reputation as a thoroughly nice guy. He gave all his testimonial money to charity, he flew Sunderland fans back to England when they got stuck (at his own expense) and he just seems a decent bloke. Ownership: …

Very effective tactic, supported…

Below we print an open letter to Mike Dean, referee, from Walter Broeckx, referee. But just before that, here’s a quick summary of Mr Dean’s career… In 2005 he was suspended from being a ref because he was involved with a betting company. His official crime was “breaching the terms of his contract”. He was…
On the blogs we should be fighting the media and their attempt to brainwash us all with their version of reality – but most blogs do the reverse. There is something utterly sinister within our media. The issue raises the question of the news, and how it is created, and through it, what is happening…
