Losing My Favourite Game: ‘Sorry For Your Loss’ with Ed Bottomley

For many, football can be more than a passion. It’s an all-consuming obsession, linking our past to our present and our present to our future. Calendars are planned around the football season, and memories of major life events can be linked to the fixtures that took place around the same time. Few reflect this kind […]

Premier League 2019/20 Season Preview

Ah shit, here we go again… After a summer where the football never really ended, but the world’s chances of a prosperous future took a severe nosedive; where puce-faced men vented their spleens at the arrogance of the US Women’s national team and, with no hint of irony, talked up their chances of giving Serena […]

Premier League 2018/19 Season Review

There were things to savour despite the predictable denouement however; Liverpool’s endless pursuit, Tottenham’s squatting rights, Manchester United (general), Watford being good, actually?

Venezuelan Train. Premier League Week 12 Hitters & Shitters.

The worlds of politics and football reached peak 2018 this week as, in the UK, Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab publicly revealed that he had only just realised the importance of the Dover-Calais crossing for trade into the country. Just to reiterate, the person responsible for engineering the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union didn’t […]

Cold As Ice: Premier League Week 8 Hitters & Shitters

Here at TLF Towers, we believe a change is as good as a rest, which is why, rather than taking a week on the Norfolk Broads, we’re revamping our Premier League round-up. Each week we’ll be looking at the big hitters from the weekend’s action, and also pointing and smirking at the players, managers, owners […]

Knowing Me, Knowing You (Za-Ha): Premier League Week 5 Talking Points.

After a fortnight in flip-flops revisiting your summer romance, only to discover that, in the harsh light of oncoming autumn, they’re just as dull, frustrating and disappointing as you’d previously suspected before the relentless sunshine, airborne pints and endless nights had convinced you otherwise, it’s nice to return to your multi-billion pound slippers. The gold-leaf […]

R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Premier League Week Three Talking Points

Though the heatwave may be over and summer all but a distant memory where the days seemed to stretch on forever, there was always football on the telly, everyone had a plausible excuse to go to the pub five times a week and, for a couple of months, we were able to forget about the […]
