Just before the EPL starts again in August billions of overpaid, over-watered journalists and “experts” pour out of the pubs for long enough to download their “predictions” for the coming season. Being blessed with a brain that understands Entanglement (get yourself an A level in physics if you don’t know that reference – but no…
2007/8 was the season of Anti-Football – that awful, slow, grinding out of negative football with the hope of nicking a goal at the end. This wasn’t the only year of Anti-Football, but it was one of the worst. Most infamous operators of the system were Chelsea under Grant, Greece and Glasgow Rangers. What…
Here it is. Oswaldo Ceaser Ardilles is going to be director of football at Southampton. Or is it Sheffield Wednesday. Sorry I have forgotten – I was laughing so much. Here is the great man’s work thus far in footballing management Swindon Town – resigned amidst financial irregularities Newcastle Utd – sacked West Bromwich Woddleu…

To the north of London, past the dim and forbidding landscapes of Luton, there is a modest sized town with a pub which is known as the Toppled Bollard. That’s not its real name – it is just the name given to it by locals who noticed that all the keep left signs in the…
In footballing terms Holland doesn’t have much going for it. It’s not very big – 16 million people which is about 30% the size of England. The league is very poor, compared to the EPL, and virtually all top players play outside of the country. So how come they can play so well – and…
