Football in General

I haven't always been a fan of football, but having been forced to watch numerous matches on TV by my boyfriend I've taken quite a liking for it, so much so that I regularly find myself checking the Sky Sports website for news and have the live score centre application on my iPhone! It's addictive! My boyfriend is a Manchester United supporter, and through watching them play on a semi-regular basis I've started to find myself supporting them myself. I've even been to visit Old Trafford! However, my local team is Bristol Rovers so I've developed a mild allegiance to them too. It's easy to see why people do love football. It's a great social activity, ...  Read the complete review

Football or as it is known to many the beautiful game is something that is amongst the most popular sports worldwide with an ever increasing number of fans from many countries including the likes of USA, Japan, India, China, etc thanks in no small part to the extensive television coverage of leagues, cups and matches from all over the world.

I know there are lot of people in favour of it and those against but I'm still not sure either way.

Disadvantages: However for me the practicallity of ...  Read the complete review

Not so long ago, pretty much anyone with a desire to, could become a football coach in the United Kingdom. Over the past few years this has all changed. At the top level, there are frequent stories about Manager A not being able to manage Club X because he doesn't have the relevant qualifications and badges. To me this seems a bit over the top when Manager A is an ex professional, possibly even an ex International, but when you take this philosophy down to the grass roots level and childrens football, it suddenly becomes massively relevant. It is vitally important that the right people are being left with our children on playing fields up and down the country every ...  Read the complete review

Are you sitting uncomfortably? Then we'll begin. Once upon a time there was a young boy named Peter who came from one of those made up European countries like Albania or Estonia or perhaps France. Peter moved to Eng-er-land which is a small country nestling in between Wales, Scotland and the Isle of Wight. Peter had to leave his native country due to a small incident involving 140,003 tonnes of concrete and his local police station and move to Eng-er-land to stay with his Grandfather. One day as Peter was walking through a local park with his Grandfather he spotted a group of children playing a game that he was ...  Read the complete review
