Weekend round up 6/10/2020

 So a busy week in the land of football and champions Liverpool thrashed at second season wonders VILLA 7.2  uuuuups on merseyside. But Liverpool now fighting not just to stop the rot but to halt the spread of coronavirus. On Merseyside the covid numbers are increasing at the same pace as Liverpool's score lines but covid is playing another game with the reds and that's knocking players for six. The score line amuses the country as the jokes on them for a change. But on a serious note we hope and wish the players a speedy recovery. So the game, were Liverpool had 70% of the play, the same amount of goal line pressure the only difference on the day was olley watkins. And he has proved himself to be a bargain buy. With West Brom still hunting a striker he would of been a perfect fit for the other West  midland outfit, a hat trick and the match ball to take away proved he is a of  premier league quality and so the future looks bright and good for the young ex  Brentford star. So the rest of football must be extremely worried as I see a full National lock down approaching as teams who get effected by the virus and loose a number of players will surely say it's unfair to compete with squads that fall short because of corona. So as Christmas approaches, will we see a fixture list or a boxing day game I think not. This crisis is about to bite again and when will stadiums be allowed to be filled again. It's science fiction come true, And carrying on in the football world without fans in the stadium becomes more and more of a joke. Le Bron James said at the beginning of this crisis what's the point playing Basketball with no fans. It also proves how in the English game the supporters have become obsolete, well because of pay per view and subscription,fans, Supporters alike have no pull because of TV. It,s becoming a full arm chair spectator sport and so as i've mentioned before what happens if football does not return and fans take on different hobbies and past times, spend their allowance on other activities and find it cheaper and more enjoyable. Also they get the best of both worlds because now they have become accustomed to watching on TV. Will the fans return.

Football and the late 80's early 90's and the two cultures that entwined

  And to the left and above a night which I attended and a friend in the picture the one and only you know who you are. Place Die Hard on the stairs between Techno and Hardcore arena. Give us a wave. And so a terrace and a night out now look quite similar thanks to the originals. The ones who started the ones who came after. And so to the ones who slept and are still sleeping. And the infamous Fantazia moving from this country and being one of the first big rave events to travel around the world and one name that holds it's name proudly in the rave hall of fame. THE BEGINNING.  So the Blog has always mentioned fashion and culture so lets have a look at one of the biggest youth culture movements this country has ever seen. Ok the year is 1989 and at around this time New york's Disco scene was over and studio 54 gone earlier in the decade and DJ's were working and looking at different things ie music the way it was mixed, electro beats and music production in general  was bei

 So Football seems to be changing in not just an un noticeable way. So some massive rule changes on who has a say at the table to make or break rules and regulations,and the willful destruction of some what were once major trophies in the English game. I think we would all agree that the premier league was a great idea and that its provided English clubs with a lucrative target to aim for. So with the influx of foreign investment and players both have had more positive effects than negative but some negative effects have occurred. So with the decisions that have been made, which do we agree with,and what will be the fall out of the one's we don't. So lets have a look at what the big boy's have decided and what we have to look forward to in the future. So radical rule changes,the premier league wants to reduce the size of the top flight to 18 teams making the top flight even more inclusive. The plans would see the premier league hand over 250 million to help bail out EFL clu

Football and standing room only

 So is it time to bring back standing and cement the true English football atmosphere back into the game. As it's been a generation since standing was allowed in the top two divisions has the argument lost its intensity. I remember when the thought of getting rid of the true English terrace drove heated debate in the national press , pubs and clubs across the country. And 100% of supporters wanted standing to stay even the supporters who frequented seated stands , as all supporters thought seats would kill the atmosphere of the game. Obviously the whole football community was horrified at Hillsborough and nobody wanted another disaster of that magnitude to happen again. We could all argue that it was bad policing on the day that caused the horrible nightmare and sadly people who left to be entertained by there team tragically came to there end  in a way nobody could of imagined , especially in one of the best grounds in the country. But times have changed disasters like this with t
