Philosophy of Football: What Insects Can Tell Us about Football

Spoiler Alert! This article makes the discussion within Bernard Suit’s book The Grasshopper: Games, Life and Utopia clearly explicit. If you do not wish to learn the contents of the book before reading this, go and buy it before coming back! Or, just read on and then go and buy it.

Calling for the resignation of the Welsh FA's chief executive Jonathan Ford

Jonathan Ford of the Welsh FA did not support the motion tabled by David Bernstein of the English FA to postpone the FIFA presidential election. I feel that this shows that the Welsh FA will sit idle when corruption could be taking place and as a Welshman I feel this is unacceptable and have written to him asking for his resignation. The letter is below. Please read and then re-send the letter (except the last paragraph) so we can put him in an uncomfortable position and hopefully force his hand. Thank you.

The Onagawa Cup

We're delighted to announce that Richard and Neil's Football blog have been roped into to playing in the inaurgural Onagawa Cup, where a team of Northern Football Writers will play a team of Northern League Fans.

The Most Important Team in the World - West Bromwich Albion

The debate about who the best team ever will forever rumble on and on in pubs and schools, on internet forums and radio show call-ins. At the moment the best team in the world is certainly Barcelona. But ever? What about Holland with Cruyff? Or perhaps Real Madrid's all conquering teams of the 1950s, Di Stefano and all? Perhaps Sacchi's Milan? Or even a curveball with The Crazy Gang of Wimbledon? All of these teams can stake their claims, list their achievements and pin their colours to the mast (and all that crap). There is only one team however, that can claim to have significantly shaped the last 30 years of world history and probably the next 30 too. That team is West Bromwich Albion.
