This week has been a pretty good one, all in all. My project is starting to take shape (it’s in for two weeks, so I haven’t exactly got all the time in the world), I’ve come to a decision that I have worried about the whole time I have been at university, and of course [...]

For Want Of A Better Post
Things aren’t going well for me at the moment. It’s an odd feeling to have, since for the most part I can feel lucky the ways things have turned out. Right now, Newcastle United are staring up the nostrils of a double-barrelled shotgun; I have no idea how I’m going to earn my daily loaf; [...]
The King Is Back
Long Live the King! Kevin Keegan is back, and I, for one, am extremely glad! All Newcastle United supporters wanted was a reason to be optimistic. The city has changed in the space of a few hours. It’s brilliant!
Exam tomorrow… I bet the buzzing stops pretty soon!
Lesson of the Day
Get back, get back, get back [...]
Yet Another One Bites the Dust
What can I say? The departure of Sam Allardyce from Newcastle United was entirely unexpected. I was watching the BBC Six O’Clock News when as the excitement was building surrounding his exit, BBC Look North attempted to steal the headline from the national programme. It was a shock.
Usually when I see the words "Breaking News" [...]
Newcastle United v England
This would be a very interesting match. Over the past week, I have witnessed (endured, despaired, …) England’s dismal performance followed by Newcastle’s dismal performance. To be honest, there wasn’t much different between the performances.
My opinion of the Football Association was greatly improved this week. It’s not the fact that they sacked Steve McClaren, but [...]
What About Us?
Perhaps the biggest debate going on in the football world at the moment is ‘should there be a winter break?’. There are contributors from just about everyone to all sides of the story… that is, except for the fans.
I am in support of the winter break, and there is a simple reason. Supporters seem to [...]
Money, Money, Money!
I had an astounding set of news yesterday. I went to the Arriva Bus website yesterday: I don’t link it for good reason… Last year I paid £270 for my annual pass (which actually only covers September to June, the use of the word "annual" is a loose definition of the pass). Arriva have hiked [...]
Premiership Preview 2007-2008
This is my insightful prediction into the final table of this season’s Premier League campaign. Everyone will disagree, but I don’t care!
Manchester United
Although their summer signings, Hargreaves aside, were low-key but big-money signings, it will be last year’s outfit that will prove to be the winners again. They managed without Heinze during his injury last [...]
Hollow Victory
AC Milan were victorious last night, as they beat Liverpool 2-1 in the European Cup final. It was a crap game in all fairness - a bit of a damp squib with the excitement of starting a new tube of toothpaste.
But other events at the final made me realise how thick and stupid us football [...]
Premiership Review
At the beginning of this season, I wrote my preview of how the Premiership the shape up by the end. Now that it’s finished, I have written a review.
Manchester United
I thought they’d finish 2nd
I said:
Much like last season, Manchester United will have been written off before the season has started. However, even despite a lack [...]
