When the Tranmere date was revealed back in June, some people from this parish jumped on it immediately and went about booking hotels in towns miles outside of Liverpool for a big weekend on it. Meanwhile the rest of us just shrugged, went “It’s in fucking March. Calm down!” and got on with more immediate […]
All right sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the League 2’s! A day in the Football League is like a day on the farm. Every meal’s a banquet! Every centre mid defensive! Every formation a 4-4-2! I love the League 2’s! Yes dear reader, I have returned once […]
I wasn’t really going to bother for this one. Mainly as I covered Boxing Day and well, that was only like a week or so ago. And we won. So you know, having some positivity at the top of the feed on the site was nice for a change, especially with this season. But with […]
Boxing Day football. The highlight of the season. The jewel in the Association calendar. Right? RIGHT? Well, for some it is. But for others, those amongst the footballing fraternity where things haven’t quite panned out how they’d have liked over the first 4 months of the season, it’s a little less anticipated.

“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”. Wise words and somewhat appropriate this week as following the disastrous 8-0 shellacking at Stockport at the weekend, the club sadly called time on Manager Matt Gray’s tenure with the team bottom of League 2 and boasting a run of form that has seen them win […]
Why am I doing this? No, I don’t mean a blog entry, although that too does generate some questions quite frankly, but I’m talking of course about going to Wrexham. Away. Midweek. With a team rock bottom of the Football League. And leaking goals at a greater rate than the Titanic’s hull permitted the Atlantic […]
Yes ladies & gentlemen, do not adjust your internet for your eyes are not deceiving you. It is indeed I! Back once again with the ill behaviour and some drunken League 2 bollocks. And before you ask, yes I have seen the league table, am well aware of how many goals we’ve let in so […]
I fumble with the keys, trying to remember which is the right one and try a couple with no joy before on the third attempt, one finally turns in the Yale lock and in customary fashion with the floorboards creaking under the effort, shoulder the stiff old door open and half stumble into the gloomy […]
Traditionally for us the last away game of a season is usually a fairly fun and jolly affair. A chance to let your hair down after a long old season, have a few beers and a laugh with matters on the pitch usually largely settled. This season though, it’s fair to say enthusiasm levels are […]
The end of a football season is always a funny time. You’re either up there and still have something to play for, in the shit and scrambling to avoid the trapdoor or somewhere in the middle with nowt to play for and just bumbling along a bit bored and hoping next season will be better. […]
