As we enter the new year I am jumping straight into the action at the first chance I have. The second day of the year and I’m already back at the football and this time it was a game that I knew I had a good chance of enjoying. The results from the first dayContinue reading “Welcome to 2022”

Manchester City are a team known for 2 things.1. Winning every domestic title going2. Playing in front of half empty for huge European games The reasons they are known for these things were both on full display in my last match of 2021. The match in question was their visit to Brentford and as aContinue reading “They Bore you to Defeat”

I have loyalty to two English teams, Liverpool and Brentford. Liverpool were my boyhood team, the team I have supported since I was 5 and one of the reasons I chose the city as the place to rebuild my life when such a place became necessary earlier this year. Brentford on the other hand areContinue reading “5 Miserable Minutes”

With all the cancellations of matches that we have been seeing this last week (see last blog for details) I was unsure if I would be able to find a game to go to this weekend. I thought I had found one in Brighton’s WSL visit to non-league Borehamwood FC to play Arsenal, till thatContinue reading “Survivor of the Apocalypse”

Many of us hoped it would never come but here is it. The second apocalypse has arrived, buckle in folks. The first signs of Apocalypse came on the Sunday the 12th when Tottenham’s game away at Brighton was called off due to an outbreak of it-that-must-not-be-named in the visitor’s squad. This was a bad signContinue reading “The Second Apocalypse”

There will be a change to today’s blog as a Covid outbreak in the Manchester United camp has led to their visit to Brentford being postponed until the new year. I hope to be able to make the re-arranged game, but in the meantime I thought I’d be left without a blog this week. HavingContinue reading “A Draw so Nice They Drew it Twice”

This week was my return to Yorkshire for the first time since I visited Huddersfield earlier in the season. This time my journeys with Brentford took me to the largest city in God’s county, Leeds, and I wish I hadn’t gone to this one. It looked so promising going back to a city I hadContinue reading “Busses and a Punch in the Gut”

Before I get on to Everton’s lacklustre preparation for the Merseyside derby in midweek I first wish to write a couple of paragraphs about my visit to my old local non-league team from when I was living in London. Wealdstone are the team in question and they are currently enjoying time in the highest leagueContinue reading “Everton Lose to a Bus Stop in Hounslow”

Back to normal after last week and time to see how one of the new managers gets on with their new club. For this game I took a 7 and a half hour round trip to the furthest northern reaches of the Premier League. I went to Newcastle to see St, James’ Park and toContinue reading “No Howe and No Hat-trick”

This week there is going to be a change to this blog. For a one-off edition I’m not going to discuss the match I went too this weekend as due to events earlier in the day I was not in the right headspace to be taking notes for this blog as I really needed aContinue reading “A Week of Changes”
