Why You Should Visit 'The Home Of Football'
For a long time I have barely been interested in football. My father is a fan, but not of one club in particular, oh no, he supports whoever is currently winning the match that he is watching at that particular time.

Football fortresses: The Stanks
Berwick-upon-Tweed is border territory. As English and Scottish forces battled over this land, the town changed hands 13 times. Today, it’s English, but with a strong Scottish accent: the senior football teams in town compete in competitions north of the border, and in the local dialect its not unusual to hear of a Scottish ‘heed’ meeting a Northumbrian ‘burl’.

The Ball With Wiings
When RB Leipzig knocked Manchester United out in the Champions League group stages last season, a particular Devil friend of mine went on a tangent and finally stopped at how embarrassing it is to be thrown out by a team that carries the name of a freaking energy drink and has no history whatsoever!

Mass Clean Up Under Way After Euro 2020 Final
"You're not an England fan and we don't want you." Those are the words from England captain Harry Kane after members of the England football team were subjected to racist abuse on social media following the team's defeat at the hands of Italy in the Euro 2020 final. Both sides played out 1-1 draw in normal time with Luke Shaw scoring for England in the early stages of the game. This was however cancelled out when Italy equalised in the second half with a goal from Bonucci, so the match had to go to extra time and eventually penalties.

A Nation's Redemption. Is Football Finally Coming Home?
It’s the summer of ’96. England is merely inconvenienced by unreliable weather; the spatter of reluctant rainfall and the sweltering heat of peek-and-you’ll-miss-it sunshine. The country is also gripped and consumed by an unexplainable phenomenon that rears its promising head every two years – the unbridled support of the England football team as they enter yet another major football tournament.

Technological Spoil‘sport’ — A Note of Caution
The greatest scientist of the 20th century, Albert Einstein, said that understanding physics is similar to understanding child’s play. There was probably a pinch of sarcasm in those words, but it’s hard to say now. Even so, one thing is certain: Adult sports or professional sports (as we prefer to call it) is being taken a little too seriously in the world nowadays by adults of greater than average intelligence.
