The Militarisation of English Football

Really pleased with the reaction I had to this. Something I wrote for the ever excellent The Football Pink about poppy outrage and the influence of the military in English football

Unlikely European Heroes

The always excellent Football Pink were good enough to publish something I wrote about IFK Gothenburg's European glory days of the the 1980s. Want to take a look? - IFK Gothenburg

Mourinho Up To Same Old Bullshit

Jose Mourinho has been reported as being in “total shock” that his usual pre-season wind up antics have been received with a collective shrug from the football fans of England.

The Chelsea boss – and notorious winder upper – has taken great pride in getting under the skin of his fellow head coaches and usually really starts to get in his stride about this time of year. But due to everyone being really fucking bored of his usual shit his barbs have not seemed to have had their normal effect.



“In seasons past it used to really get on my tits how Mourinho could wind up everyone associated with this great club” said Dave Shitbird, a Liverpool fan with seemingly no idea of what ‘great’ means.

Even Arsene Wenger, a long time target for Mourinho’s taunts was reported as saying: “Honestly, I don’t give a flying fuck what that jumped up little translator has to say. Playas gonna hate.”


Jose Mourinho was unavailable for comment but was probably crying himself to sleep on a bed of money.
