“United’s flag is deepest red, It shrouded all our Munich dead, Before their limbs grew stiff and cold, Their heart’s blood dyed it’s ev’ry fold. Then raise United’s banner high, Beneath it’s shade we’ll live and die, So keep the faith and never fear, We’ll keep the Red Flag flying here. We’ll never die, we’ll never die,...

I don't know much about art...

…but I know what I like! A recently bought painting from Matthew Thompson, of the MRE in full flow. You can see more of his work, including pictures of Manchester, as well as other football crowd scenes here and here.

Manchester Sky High

So little Manchester content in recent weeks, not least as Ive not been back in a while. I spotted this gem amongst a fine selection on Softwater. The blog’s owner is a bertie, but for the most part it keeps away from matters to do with “The Project” and is definitely worth a flick through. We seemed to have steered away from cement in more recent decades (well apart from...

Blickfang Ultra Saisonheft - Review

Ah another reason why Im glad I paid attention during German classes at school. You want a book about subcultures in football that’s in English and apart from the odd gem like „Fanatics!“ or perhaps that new compilation of articles from The End (looking beyond its scouseness and the fact its sponsored by tired retro trainer company Adidas), all you get is hooligan books. „You fackin taking...

Making Friends Not Millionaires!
