Weezer Loves Soccer
They actually did it. At one point it looked like they were going home, but somehow they pulled it off. Oh and the USA are in Confederations Cup Final too. Thanks to 3rd Degree for discovering the fo

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
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 downwaI call this the perfect storm. Because it is. Let me explain: The most successful template you can have for a football song, in my opinion, is when you combine some footie commentary (cf. PWEI - Touched By Cicciolina) and some chant-like lyrics which can be easily remembered and repeated on the ... Read More..>>
Just like with those Goal! movies, you'd think they would have learnt from the last one. But no... the pain continues. Don't go. We have to get through this so we can move on. And just like the above bad representations of footie to the world, the other embarrassing public outing by some sing... Read More..>>
If you thought that was just a one-off you were wrong. Very wrong. The same way Geoff Thomas somehow got called up to play for England, somebody fell asleep and let Chris Waddle into the recording studio again. Chris was playing for Marseille and his singing partner this time was his teammate Bas... Read More..>>
I read the other day that Branson has sold the Virgin Megastore chain. The buyers are some of the senior staff at the company, which is nice to see. They have decided to rebrand the chain though and it's new name from November will be... wait for it... Zavvi. I hope that it survives. I've been re... Read More..>>
