    Non(ish) Superbowl and Soccer Ball.

    Lots of stops and starts, some purely for advertising purposes in that big game of catch last night. Made me think how FIFA must be looking at the revenue streams and thinking that a 2 minute break at 22 minutes of a half could bring in billions of advertising revenue. Billions are watching the...

    Non: Non League football

    I listened to football podcasts and hear how 'ordinary' fans in London can't/won't pay Premier League prices etc., and how non-league clubs are benefitting. (Particularly Palace & Tottenham) fans. Some of these non-league clubs are getting decent crowds and offer a good match day experience...

    Non: Football towns.

    There has been mention (on more than a couple occasions) of Bournemouth not being a football town. It never has been, it never will be. I believe a 'football town' is a club & community that grew from the movement of the population during the industrial revolution, and was a later result of...

    Non(ish) - Frank de Boer

    Remember when Crystal Palace wanted a complete change in playing style and went for a 'sexy' and 'trendy at the time' Dutch manager? How many games did he last - Four. Here's hoping our new manager is given more time, but a Guardian journalist, who predicted us to finish bottom of the league...

From the bottom: Southampton (sacked manager, no replacement ready) Everton (sacked manager, no replacement ready) Leicester (sacked manager, no replacement ready) Then Notts Forest, who despite having a quick firing owner have stayed with Cooper - and may be...

    F.A. Cup third round

    For a bit of perspective: 3rd round defeats for Premier League teams is not uncommon, when the prize for staying up is so great. While we lost to a confident, flying Burnley, there will be forums and fans kicking off all over the country: Aston Villa lose to Stevenage Notts Forest lose to...
