I have a cunning plan.
October 25th – Put that date in your diary…

The Footballers’ Alphabet
Partly influenced by Half Man Half Biscuit (the patron saints of football and music) and their song The Referee’s Alphabet. This is a user submitted experiment at creating a players version…
Midfield General
A while ago I did a mini-series about various producers/remixers. This is an addition to that series plus it’s also another look at a subject I’ve previously covered.
The producer is Damian Harris aka Midfield General – and the subject is…
The Footie and Music XI
Occasionally I throw out a challenge via Twitter to come up with 11 names for a theme I thought of. Today it was for a #FootieAndMusicXI (as in the title of the song has to be somebody’s name) and the response was blinding. So may I now present to you…
I Was Saying Boo-Urns…
The first chance for the fans… which is a misnomer because of what they’ll be doing… to boo the England team in a few hours. Many of the hacks in their published articles asking what’s the point of booing, the players knew that their performance in South Africa was dismal…
“…And On THAT Bombshell…”
4th Sept 2008 – Kevin Keegan has resigned as manager of Newcastle United after just eight months in charge…
9th Aug 2010 – Martin O’Neill has resigned as Aston Villa manager with immediate effect…
Musa’s Football and Music
This is an introduction for anybody who hasn’t already discovered the multi talented Musa Okwonga…
A Story In The Song : Chapter 1
The following tunes which have a common theme – They all tell a story of a match played by the subject of the song.
IN_LIMBO
Here is some early/mid/late 90′s football-related music from various artists which I have named “IN LIMBO”…
Danny Last’s Football and Music
Some kudos to the author of European Football Weekends (EFW) for a couple of Tweets that had a clever play on words AND song titles…
La Furia Roja
Not the best final obviously, but they never are. These things are always built up, hyped up so much that if we don’t see an end-to-end five goals to four thriller then we are disappointed. It’s usually the matches that are played to get themselves into the final are the ones better remembered.
Vote For Pedro
Ah the poor kid… Who hasn’t been in that position of being in a World Cup Semi and having that opportunity to guarantee their appearance in the Final… Who hasn’t… Well ok none of us have. I mean if it was you in that same sort of scenario in a pub match for insta… I’ll [...]
Hup Holland Hup
You’ve probably noticed that there’s bugger all done here in relation to the nether regions. Sorry… I’ll read that again… the Loew country… ah a Freudian slip there…I meant Holland. That’s because there is bugger all really. The music that comes out of the Netherlands is usually a very fast BPM/rave minimal lyrics: “No, no, [...]
“The Game Is Up For Argentina”
(That line from Martin Tyler on ESPN) Many of us are uncertain as to what to think about this. A few of us wanted to continue to watch the antics on the touchline. Some wanted to see him crash and burn. But what about his actual tactics ? What about the actual team ? What [...]
The Talent Round
“Hello and welcome back to Miss This World Cup 2010 !” …After the previous swimsuit round (with a slight embarrassment for Miss England who forgot her costume and subsequently went out wearing nothing but a knotted hankie on her head) – we now come to the talent part of the competition… Thank you Uruguay for [...]
The World Cup Is Still On Y’Know
I know many of you have switched over to see how the British (currently 56%) Scottish hope is doing, but there’s still some decent matches to be had down in South Africa. The Round of 16 is complete and of the last eight teams remaining in the competition there’s one representative from Africa, two from [...]
Now We Know How It Feels
Unlike the one that was eventually given 44 years ago, this time there wasn’t a doubt. For a double irony I was hoping that England got a second and it would have finished 4-2. Some of the words used by the red tops (after they found a dictionary) to describe their performance were: Abject, dismal, [...]
Don’t Mention A Draw !
What am I going to do now…? I used up all the footballing clichés the other day with the balls to the wall post. I decided to bang them all in there because like many of you I was half expecting England to once again come out and shoot themselves in the foot. But a [...]
Ah Italia…
I never got chance to post anything about them… Like everybody else I was expecting to be watching them in the Quarters… maybe not the Semi’s looking at the spreadsheet in which I put some hypotheticals before all this began, but at least still in the competition. But now it’s the 2nd time that a [...]
Socceroo To You Too !
I’d like to say G’day! to you, Quantas Soccer Sheilarooooos. It was sometimes painful to watch you, like taking a poooo… However I’ll be glad if you could take Serbia out with youuuuu… Something something else needs to be added here, Harry Kewell…. Needs work/completing. If you want to add something leave a comment below. [...]
