Neil - Row Z

Woolston at 4.30pm today in the wake of the @ABPMarathon No sign of anyone clearing up after the event and litter now spread far and wide - total disrespect for the local community @dailyecho @SouthamptonCC

Note how despite all that extra money coming into the premier league over the period average attendance growth has been lacklustre

So the super league has reared it's head again - back in 2012 it was one of my first posts for Row Z! rowzfootball.wordpress.com/2…

Certainly learnt not to underestimate how emotive the Wimbledon/MK Dons affair remains. We're 14 years on now and the anger doesn't look like dissipating - maybe even solidifying.

Someone needs a vision, because believe me after a decade of austerity the public sector is on the point of crisis and our social fabric lies in tatters.

And if you go there now it's all completely changed...... except those pickled eggs and onions are still there - although there are 3 fewer onions and 1 less egg.

Yet, private ownership still seems to be the prevelant model at some levels.

One awesome mascott

Here's a question is the die-hard football fan a myth, or does our relationship with the game change over time - sometimes intense, sometimes less so and do we adopt different roles - player, spectator, parent, coach, die-hard, neutral?

I love the way so many people care so much about football, but sometimes you feel that people get too worked up and end up turning on each-other. that's never nice to see.

Always been curious about the nature/nurture balance here - how much is genetic and how much is being trained from a very young age by a dad who is world-class?

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but I can't shake the feeling that the internet has become quite a dull, corporate controlled space which offers more diversion than intellectual stimulation.

An era defining colossus. Funniest thing was the way he reacted as if every shot on target his defenders allowed the opposition room for was a personal affront. As an opposing fan nothing like the sight of him on his arse yelling with the ball in the back of the net though!

Pretty much the same can be said across the public sector - experienced managers have been axed, or else opted to take voluntary severance in their droves leaving a huge skills and experience gap. When junior staff do step up they don't have the benefit of an experienced mentor.

Seriously - anyone know why footie management games bit the dust? The whole genre seems to have disappeared

Weird that footie management sims no longer appear on consoles

Weird rush of inspiration today - grabbed a pen and a piece of scrap paper and scribbled down ideas for an article
