That’s Entertainment (And Everton plan stadium move)

That’s Entertainment (And Everton plan stadium move)
August 26, 2007 by Jonathan Greenbank
  This Saturday, before the Blackburn game, we will hear a watershed announcement for Everton Football Club. Last Saturday, whilst the table toppers were losing at Reading, I was sat watching a fantastic musical about the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz. ...Read More

A Tale Of Two City’s

A Tale Of Two City’s
August 26, 2007 by Tim Killeen
  Many of us are still pinching ourselves as we reflect on what can only be described as an unthinkable end to the opening week of the season. Everything imaginable has happened with dreams realised and extinguished in one swift week in English football. What agony. What...Read More

First Day Blues (Plus Ça Change)

First Day Blues (Plus Ça Change)
August 26, 2007 by Jonathan Greenbank
  And so it went… Saddened and shocked by the premature death of Anthony H Wilson, who was probably more responsible than Morrissey for putting the M in Manchester, a bad night’s sleep on Friday led me to the first day of the season. Optimism, sunshine, Sky Sports N...Read More

The Baby’s Not Yours (Stevie G)
August 26, 2007 by Jonathan Greenbank
  I was recently awoken by a text from the esteemed editor of the English Football Post asking for my all-time XI from the English league. It was the first day of the summer holidays (being a teacher does have its benefits) and I’d had a really great weekend so maybe was...Read More

August 26, 2007 by Luke Bryson
  After what has seemed like an eternity, with no World Cup or Euro’s to numb the pain, the football season is finally upon us once again. Having survived purely on frenzied transfer speculation and meaningless pre-season friendlies or competitions such as The Emirates...Read More

Bloody hell, football (In the Northwest)!

Bloody hell, football (In the Northwest)!
August 26, 2007 by Jonathan Greenbank
It’s been a funny old Summer. Teams up and down the West Coast Mainline are in the main quite content, some ecstatic, and would you believe Liverpool were one of only two of our teams to end the season with relative disappointment. Naturally, I didn’t enjoy that m...Read More

Fergie to make amends at United?

Fergie to make amends at United?
August 26, 2007 by Tim Killeen
  In the uncharacteristic warmth of last April, I crammed into a smoky Manchester boozer and watched on in fascination as Ferguson’s latest assault on Europe came to yet another premature end. As Milan substitute Gillardino raced clear to score the decisive third goal,...Read More

Ahhhhh Leeds!

Ahhhhh Leeds!
August 26, 2007 by Tim Hill
  It’s now 15 years since Leeds won the Championship. Much has happened since 1992 - just ask John Major. Fashions come and go, tastes change (look at Shakespeare’s Sister: improbably, they spent eight weeks at No 1 in the early part of that year) and Leeds United co...Read More
