Premier League 2018/19 Season Preview

Summer romances are all well and good, but after a blistering month of sunshine and superb football, Russia has become little more than a speck in the distance (and a severe threat to global democracy) as the domestic season gears up to start all over again. The decision to move the closure of the transfer […]

Twenty-Ninth Sunday In Ordinary Time. Premier League Week 29 Review.

The Foreign Secretary this week demonstrated his nous for such an integral role in the British government by waving away concerns over the impact of Brexit on the Irish border by plucking the nonsensical comparison of London boroughs out of the air. “There is no border between Islington, Camden and Westminster. There is no border between Camden and […]

You’re Going To Twenty-Eighth This. Premier League Week 28 Review.

The old adage goes that Tragedy + Time = Comedy but, for all the criticism you can levy at the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump’s commitment to streamlining that process certainly is incredible. In the aftermath of the Parkland shooting, where seventeen people were killed by a gun-toting Al Capone wannabe […]

Comrade’s Twenty-Sixth. Premier League Week 26 Review.

With the transfer window now closed, the Premier League returned to normal service this weekend, with plenty of managers undoubtedly experiencing that sinking feeling you get when you come home from the shops and realise you’ve forgotten to pick something up.

Twenty-Seconds. Premier League Week 22 Review.

Sixth Avenue. Premier League Week 6 Review.

Boiler repair companies up and down the country are gearing themselves up for their busiest time of the year, as the […]

Here’s To The Fourth Time! Premier League Week 4 Review.

There’s nothing quite like coming back from a holiday. Opening the door and being greeted by the familiar smell of home, sorting through the post after you’ve put the kettle on to make a brew, settling down into the grooves of your favourite armchair, flicking through the papers to see that, yes, the world is […]

Do You Remember The First Time? Premier League Week One Review

It starts with that familiar feeling. Nerves and excitement intermingle. You’re counting down the hours at work, checking the clock every few minutes. Time seemingly standing still, then…the sweet release, the idle hours between leaving the office and arriving at the pub you’ve agreed on beforehand. Apprehension. The fear of disappointment. You flash into the […]

This Is A Flag. There Is No Wind.

Ryan Atkin this week came out as the UK’s first openly gay professional football official - a huge step in the right direction for LGBT representation in the sport - but there’s still a long way to go before acceptance of all on and off the pitch. ‘DOES YOUR BOYFRIEND, DOES YOUR BOYFRIEND, DOES YOUR BOYFRIEND […]

Premier League 2017/18 Season Preview

Ladies and Gentlemen, like an adulterous father sloping back into your life after spending the summer wining and dining his mistress in Kings Lynn, the Premier League has returned and it’s more opulent than ever. England’s finest have been spending money like it’s (literally, if some Brexperts are to be believed) going out of fashion […]
