  1. Evening all, Shameless plug for some international break long readery for those who like that sort of thing. Cheers!
  2. Nah then, "I was a fairly introverted, academic person living in an environment that was highly-extroverted and non-academic.." "I never fit in with any football team, basically. Maybe the other players could tell you why, but I never found someone I truly clicked with.." "A lot of people put it as their be-all and end-all. I enjoyed it so much, I did, but at the same time I really did struggle with not fitting in that world. If you were to speak to other players about me, they might say ‘Oh he was an oddball or a weirdo’ because in truth I never really clicked in terms of finding my place in a changing room.." The longest piece I've ever written for The Star - a couple of years in the making - finds Patrick Collins in sunny Lithuania. https://x.com/AlexMiller91/status/1703439651929837657?s=20
  3. Nah then. Done a long read on Devis Vasquez for those of you that like that sort of thing. Sithee.
  4. Afternoon all, A couple of pieces below that I hope encapsulates the mourning of two figures from Wednesday's most gloried era, from chats with two of the men that made it so. Here's Ron Atkinson on Trevor Francis.. and Roland Nilsson on Chris Bart-Williams.
  5. Right when they need it most! Simple explanation to it.. https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/why-sheffield-wednesdays-indoor-training-dome-sits-deflated-at-middlewood-road-deflated-amid-heavy-snow-4059470
  6. Some more long readery for your delectation should you dig that sort of thing..
  7. Happy to answer any Qs he might have mate. Tell him to drop me an email or a DM on Twitter - response time is shocking (he says replying to a post five days later) but I'll get back to him eventually.
  8. Back in the day newspapers had enough cash to employ sub-editors for exactly that, mate.. Biggsy tells us all about it.. the lavish sods!!
  9. Aye - gone back in, hopefully sorted them now. In a rush to hit deadline, overworked and underslept.. that's my (fairly weak) excuse! Cheers.
  10. Evening all, Part two of our chat with Jimmy Shan is down there in that there tweet. Was taken aback at his honesty on all sorts of things from how a job meant he failed to connect with his newborn baby, to a Darren Moore phonecall that eased his anxiety about taking over from him and why he 'loves the game but hates the industry'. I'm biased, but it's a must-read for those of you that like this sort of 'in-depth' thing..
  11. He's a free agent in the summer and his future will 'take care of itself' according to Darren Moore..
  12. I'll be honest, I was hoping to draw a line under this one.. ..but Wednesday are at odds with the PGMOL's insistence the big screens were not used to chalk off George Byers' goal on Saturday. Full story in here..
  13. No mate. But you're right - it is a difficult industry particularly in areas where the audience isn't all that large. We won't be around forever - enjoy it while it lasts / while you have something to whinge about [delete as applicable]!
