“Average manager masked by the best squad we’ve had in 20 years […] Any half-decent manager would have walked the Euro’s with that attacking talent.”

“Southgate is just about the most irritating manager England has had. Noting he does impresses me. He makes poor decisions & injures players.”

Social media can be an incredibly harsh, reactive, and toxic place. Especially on ‘football twitter’ where faceless profiles can relay uninformed or purposefully provocative opinions for likes and retweets

Football management is one of the most high-risk and unstable employments possible. Managers can get sacked just a few games into their tenure if results aren’t going their way, if the fans are unhappy or if the players are unhappy. Many fans and pundits see this short-termism as unjust; ‘it doesn’t feel right’ says Jamie Carragher following Nuno Espirito Santo’s recent sacking from Spurs. However, he goes on to say that he ‘doesn’t feel like it was a bad sacking, I feel like it was a bad appoin

Footballing-wise, Justin Fashanu is most remembered for his 1980 screaming half-volley against Liverpool when he was just 18 playing for Norwich City. A volley that seemed to have a mind of its own, that moved and dipped past Ray Clemence as if it was being remote-controlled. Fashanu in his celebration seemed unbothered, not looking for the attention that his goal warranted. Perhaps a man who just wanted to be left alone.

Despite a relatively average but tumultuous footballing career, with 21 d

Marvel's latest outing gives us all the spectacle and fantasy we come to expect from the MCU, but as its core is a compelling family drama, and a few dragons too.

The long-awaited Shang-Chi finally hit cinemas over the last week and was met with both box office and commercial success which perhaps surprised many. Although after seeing the film it makes sense. Shang-Chi is a rollicking adventure with fantastical settings and action sequences, possibly the best action the MCU has to offer thus fa

The shirt you're wearing on a football pitch is largely irrelevant. As long as you can distinguish between teams, it really doesn't matter. But that's not the point. Kits can be a thing of beauty, a piece of art, a piece of history. Shirts often become more beautiful when there's a beautiful history attached to them (I support Palace so there's little room for 'beautiful history' so fuck off). This list is my personal list, in no particular order, a mix of nostalgia or personal preference and Ad

Following his move to PSG after eighteen years a Barcelona, we revisit one of Messi's greatest moments, as well as one of the greatest individual performances the sport ever saw.

Lionel Messi has become synonymous with the word 'GOAT' over recent years. Very few people who are deemed 'GOATs' are actually 'GOATs' ('GOAT' meaning Greatest Of All Time for those who don't spend too much time on football twitter). Of course this is subjective, but it's would be very difficult to argue against Messi

"If you ask any other kid who was stood at Man United at the Stretford end or Arsenal or The Kop as a twelve, thirteen, fourteen-year-old kid who have now got the opportunity to do that, I’m pretty much sure that all of them would do that. I did it. I achieved my dreams." - Alan Shearer

As a football fan you can only dream of playing for the club you support, the club you love, the club your father (or in my case, uncle) gifts or curses you with, the club you follow home and away, the club whos
