The bookies gave some half decent odds because of the Premiership side they were facing... but in the end it didn't happen and now it's back to the bread & butter and the immediate challenge to make sure that Tranmere Rovers are still in the same division the next time this cup opportunity comes...

A Song For England: Round 1
- VOTE NOW - So here we go then... As you are well aware by now there will be no official song for England leading up to the World Cup. This is obviously bad news for the listening public as there's obviously going to be a deluge of songs that will attempt to fill this void. Sin
The Day The (Football and) Music Died
Despite us taking the p1ss, we here at F&M actually like them and were devastated to read the news today (oh boy) about the ending of their partnership: Dave (the one with the beard) has announced his retirement from the music biz following the death of hi
Singing For England
So you've read that there will be no official England World Cup song. So you think you can fill that void ? So then tell us about it. I know I'm going to regret this, but it's as inevitable as [inse
Bobby Moore Really Was Innocent
This is the first post of a few that will remember the legend that was Sir Bobby Moore. I know he wasn't knighted when he was alive, but that was the fault of the powers that be who only realised their mistake after his passing and made up for it by giving a gong to Geoff Hurst. So why not award him a knighthood posthumously eh ? Today though i
Dennis the Menace
I don't know what I could write, what other words could be contributed to describe the best deep lying centre forwards that the Premier League has even seen. The two songs here are done by some Arsenal supporting musical acts about his time at Highbury, but I want give a mention to one of the ...Read More
A Life Less Ordinary
I read an article in passing the other week but I've not had the opportunity to post something in relation to it until now. Since this is tribute to the departed this week it is appropriate to do this now. This entry will be a sort of introduction/link to the next subject. Everyone I'm sure is familiar with what happened with Justin ...Read More
The Greatest Footballer You Never Saw
Not being original with the title of the post, using the same one as the book, but it is an excellent description of today's subject and it can't be bettered. This is the first in a mini-series looki
Cold Electric Blue, Those Diamond Lights
Ah that seminal appearance... That's what I should have called this place. Football and Music...dull as ditch water. What was I thinking. A few of the Friendlies linked to the right there had some imagination when entitling theirs, so where was mine ? Nowhere. I know it does what it says on the tin but if I called it "Diamond Lights", peopl
Mister Grimsdale !
It is sad to read that his kids have put Sir Norman Wisdom into a retirement home. Well he is 92 years old now and only retired from performing live on stage at 90. But some gutter rats from The News of the Screws ...Read More
Stranger Than Fiction
This one starts out as strange and then gets a whole lot weird... Here's a chant that Palace fans would have heard a few years back:"He's fat, he's round, he's taking Crystal Palace down..."The Swede with a turning circle of the Titanic came to our attention when he s
The Adams Family
Introductions not needed... This next song isn't actually about the addicted (but recovered), dated Caprice, dropped Steve Morrow, legged it from Wycombe before being sacked and now taking Pompey into a downwaNot being original with the title of the post, using the same one as the book, but it is an excellent description of today's subject and it can't be bettered.

Over in North America they have a pub-standard league known as the MLS, which until the arrival of a certain individual was ignored pretty much everywhere. Now this league differs in the way that some players are signed for the teams. It is based on one used in another league - the NFL - and ... Read More..>>
I was going to post something else, but like many of you I am busy for the next few days so here earlier than planned are some (very) randomly selected tunes which may or may not have anything to do with footie&music. Last year's selection included Pete Green, The Sultans of Ping FC and Saint... Read More..>>
