As the season has ended and there are is little or no news coming out of Keys Park, this blog will be concentrating on "other" football going's on! It is set up mainly to concentrate on Hednesford Town Football Club and is 100% unofficial. Everybody has their own views and opinions and anyone is welcome to add their views and comment on any posts - pending moderation of course! It is not intended to be serious or offend and should be taken with a pinch of salt. Football is a serious business, supporting football is a pleasure. Remember my programme notes? This won't be too much different to those.
You will probably need to register to post, but it is free and doesn't take long. This isn't intended to replace or better any existing platforms for comment or forums and any material for publication would be appreciated.
There is no shortage of the game we all love so much, even if we might have finished. - As I write this there are 45 minutes gone in the English Championship play off final. I couldn't find Cardiff anywhere on the last map of England that I looked at, so how the hell would they be allowed to play in our Premier League. Don't they have their own Premier League in Wales? I hope Blackpool get promoted, even if those Tangerine's that we met at the services on the way back from Cambridge City, were all too young to remember Super Joe's last minute winner.
The Champions League final is later tonight. A German side managed by a Dutchman against an Italian side managed by a self-proclaimed God from Portugal. Played on a pitch in Spain that is tendered by an Englishman.
The World Cup starts in less than 3 weeks and during the World Cup, it is my intention to update this blog on a daily basis. England are currently away training in Austria, in order to prepare for a South African Alpine winter. Only thing is, aren't Fabio Capello's men supposed to be playing Mexico at Wembley on Monday night? Were there no stadiums free in Austria, or are they also preparing for the intensive bout of travelling in the coming 4 weeks? I think someone has been smelling too much money. The very same England side play Japan on Sunday week. Guess where? Graz in Austria! The mind boggles.
Now I have finished moaning, time for some light hearted relief. So Peter Crouch & Nicola Anelka live next door to Cesc Fabregas and Dirk Kuyt in an apartment block in some unidentifiable, but clearly non-English City. Perhaps half a dream of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Someone who is also dreaming is Paddy Power, who not only is vain enough to appear in his own adverts, but thinks it is funny for someone pretending to be blind to kick a cat so high it ends up in a tree.

**UPDATE** Still getting the hang of this thing! Well done Blackpool. Football Common sense previals!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant result for Blackpool .. it took them a long time to get over the penalty shoot-out defeat by Torquay back on 31st May 1991!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fairy-tale of a story about Blackpool play-off final yesterday. They (Ian Holloway) will be a breath of fresh air in the Premiership. I am so pleased for for former player Jimmy Armfield who was there to witness it. I had to add his surname to the computer dictionary and guess what? The computer offered Bloomfield as an alternative..spooky! I am sure we will all be looking out for their result after the result of our favourite team of course. Hednesford Town did Blackpool a favour all those years ago beating them 1-0 in the FA Cup as things started to improve afterwards.
