No Persistent Standing Allowed
Last Saturday, me and my good friend Rob took a trip to the Hawthorns Stadium to see Manchester City vs. West Bromwich Albion. The first thing that struck me was my ticket; it had ‘persistent standing not allowed’ written on the bottom. Now I understand the thinking behind this – thousands of excited people sitting down in close proximity to each other is generally safer than thousands of excited people standing up in close proximity to each other – but I wish they would...

Last night my dad, my brother and I took a trip to the City Of Manchester City Stadium for my first ever live Europa League game; Manchester City vs. Juventus. My season ticket seats had already been taken, meaning we got another different seat for the game. Normally this would annoy me but actually the seats we ended up with were great, so I had nothing to complain about.

I like being close enough to hear the players swear at each other, because that means there’s a fairly good chance...

So this week has been a fairly interesting one; I’ve incorporated my own company, handed in my notice at my day job and managed to work a fairly impressive 60 hour week so far.

OK so it turned out it wasn’t the best game in the world to be a Man City fan (you know it’s...

God I can’t wait. The FA Premier League starts one week today, with the first game of the season being Spurs vs. Manchester City at White Hart Lane. It’s a 12.45am kick-off, so that’s the one I’ll be headed to. I HATE the summer football break. This year I was less bothered than normal because we had the World Cup, but after watching England demonstrate their unique ability to be utterly fucking useless and a final that was essentially a Dutch team attempting to kick the...
