If you had to choose only one, which would you rather: Champions’ League or Premier League? It’s a straightforward question with a seemingly straightforward answer: Champions’ League, but last night, once we’d drunk more than was necessary, it was a topic of hot debate.
As far as i can make it, here are the arguments […]

“Lucky twat!” - The words were spoken softly and dejectedly behind me as a Liverpool fan made his way to the pub door. I nodded in agreement, there was no doubt about it: the injury time goal had been lucky, and the way I’d jumped up and cheered had been a bit twattish, so I […]

It’s dawn on matchday. Through the curtain the weather is dank because the air pressure is low. But that’s the only pressure that’s low, there’s another pressure, a high one, a tenser, more nervous one deep inside: a bladder pressure.
You get up and head to the loo, then you run a shallow bath, cold water […]

News-flash! Lampard and Ballack click in Chelsea midfield. “I don’t understand it” says tabloid journalist, “I just turned on the telly and there it was.” Seriously now, if you replaced Ballack with Gerrard and Chelsea with England that would be front page news, and whoever the manager was would be knighted”.
But it’s not, it’s […]

Chelsea Birmingham, 0-0, second half well underway and I’m beginning to think, ‘Come on guys, you’re all over them, don’t screw this up now.’ When what should flash across the screen but a small statistic stating quite simply “2nd half possession: Birmingham 24% Chelsea 76%”
Well, much like you I suppose, I looked at that stat […]

What time of year is this? And for a bonus point, what should every self-respecting website have at this time of the year? You guessed it, it’s Christmas Quiz Time at CFCnet. For the simple reason that there’s not enough football on TV to keep you busy in between eating too much turkey and eating […]

Ah, December… have you noticed how there aren’t many songs about December? November Rain, yes, and obviously Maggie May, but not so many about December. Some may say this is because all the December songs are in fact Christmas songs, but those are so awful they don’t warrant contemplation. (I could ruin your morning just […]


GIGGLING LIKE WOMEN

Well, it’s been nearly fifty days since Avram settled into the manager’s overcoat at the Bridge and for the best part of that time I’ve been mostly holding my tongue. Partly because I’d been abroad, partly because (even though she’s no bigger than a large bag of sand) I caught a hideous cold off my […]
