We decided to carry on asking if anyone was going to the football on Twitter after the fun of last month’s Around the Grounds. This time it’s to Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and Washington for the football you cared for enough to tell us about. FC Halifax Town 0 – 0 Aldershot Town – Halifax, Yorkshire […]

First Touches
Football’s happened again and with the German and Spanish leagues returning, there was even more to watch and talk about. We had newly-promoted Osasuna and Mallorca both picking up opening gameweek wins and fellow promoted club Granada pushing Villarreal all the way in a fantastic four-all draw.

Before The Shopping Centre

Around the Grounds – January 2019
After we asked on Twitter whether anyone was heading to the football last week, we really shouldn’t have been surprised by the sheer obscurity of some the responses we received.

Man the Footballer: Homo Passiens
The latest addition to our bookshop collection. Welcome to this serious nonsense. Introducing, Man the Footballer: Homo Passiens, the latest addition to our online bookshop. Homo sapiens are the imposters. Walking on two legs – bipedalism – couldn’t have possibly been evolved simply for terrestrial locomotion. Why on earth would the Homo species choose just […]
Champions League of Champions League Winners
The first Champions League final of a new decade takes place this week in unchartered conditions. Yes, Lisbon might have hosted the showpiece twice before but not without a few genuine supporters and thousands of corporate associates, and certainly not in late-August.
