It’s Friday and nearly four days since my last post on the site, so I’m feeling a little panicked. I have four pieces in the works, but all aren’t quite ready for the big time for one reason or another: one needs more research, another needs editing, the next one is still a rough draft […]

January: the month where a million writers, bloggers, newspapers and websites get more eyeballs on their works than any other. Thanks to its winter transfer window, and the plethora of the rumors of potential player moves that come with it, January is a writer’s best friend. Pick up the scent of a rumor without a […]

Whether you’ve noticed or not, I’ve made a concerted effort this summer not to litter the blog with posts about transfer speculation, in particular as it pertains to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Part of my reason for that is to try to avoid boring my non-Spurs-supprorting readers with endless ranting and sobbing about our inactivity […]
