"Lacking any real vision for its own future, football has allowed television to lead it into the modern age while it itself continues to gaze backwards, still seeing itself as some kind of repository for attitudes towards work, class and community. Never can there have been a British phenomenon so trashy, so plastic and yet so full of a past that was none of those things."

Just read this on an absolutely fantastic blog about Edwardian football which you can find here: http://thedabbler.co.uk/author/james-hamilton/

Really great reading, and strewn with images you can copy, paste, and claim are of Dave.

I find it painful to disargee with anyone ;)
 
The culturati do take themselves sooooo seriously. What are blogs but ever increasing amounts of human debris cluttering up cyberspace.
 
If you really want an expert opinion on anything right from the soul then go on Iplayer and reprise the John Arlott interview with Mike Brearley from 1984 that was on BBC4 last night.
No ****in sound bytes from a twat like Jamie Redknapp, Merson or Kamara or a ****in poser wanna be a lad Helen Chamberlain but a man who thought before he spoke but when he did, was worth listening to.
