R.I.P Sir Alex
18 May 2013It’s been a week since the sun set over Old Trafford and Sir Alex Ferguson, arguably the greatest manager in football history, called time on an illustrious career. This piece has been a week in the making, but I’m still in mourning so please forgive me if I seem a little irrational. After twenty six [...]
Sir Alex Ferguson, a dwarf and Mother of Dragons
10 Apr 2013I’m back baby. Just like the mysterious White Walkers from Game of Thrones (or a Song of Fire and Ice, if reading is your thing), I’ve risen from a cold dark place to wreak havoc on everyone south of The Wall. A lot’s happened in sports over the past couple of months, and most of [...]

Jumping on the Sky Blue bandwagon
18 Sep 2012After the A-League’s successful debut season in 2005-06, football in Australia has had it’s problems. Poor attendances, crappy TV coverage, financial mismanagement, debates about conflict of interest, public spats with high profile multi-billionaires, on-field violence, and a stab in the back from FIFA. Yep, it’s pretty much business as usual for football down under. But [...]
