About this section

In a fit of particularly low self-esteem, we have reluctantly accepted a request to host a football forum. The idea is to present innovative, perceptive and contrarian insights, in the most ridiculous and/or angry and unreasonable way possible, so that readers will find it difficult to take on board the actual ideas, however good they are.

Regular readers need not worry. As soon as a modicum of self-worth returns, excruciating embarrassment and shame will provoke us into taking down every post with the least delay.

If the structure of the site works, they should appear below. If it doesn’t, who knows what chaos might ensue.
