I was tempted to start this Sixy Talk off all bolshy and claim that I didn’t do it because there’s no way I’m talking to one of them Stoke types, what with their coming in our end, singing their songs and spoiling the BarclaysPremierLeague with their second division football. I was tempted, but then you […]
I’ve been ill this week, I’m still ill in fact, I’ve spent most of the week in a daze but don’t worry about it. I’m not after sympathy, I just want you to know how committed I am to the cause of giving you pop pickers the chance to get my view on the weeks […]
First, empty seats at Arsenal cause debate and consternation, then empty seats at Bournemouth lead to derision, but no matter which way you want to look at it empty seats, and ticket prices have been the talk if the town this week and whenever they come into debate people always point in the direction […]
We’ve just had Men’s London Fashion Week and it’s been a while since we up dated you on what’s been going onto our Spreadshirt shop. Yeah, that’s right, It’s the middle of winter, we had our first snow the other night and it’s currently freezing. So what do we do here at This Northern […]
After the transfer window, there’s only one thing to be writing about in Jaunary, isn’t there? It’s got to be the FA Cup, but what after that? The loss of romance, how big clubs don’t respect it any more, how the fans aren’t interested in it anymore, how the authorities need to reinstate it […]

Occasionally the page for a club is blank. Like when we didn’t have a ‘sixy talk’ […]
Badgering professional footballers into giving us content for articles isn’t what we’re usually about, but following yesterday’s Left Foot, Right Foot, Header I got into a mini-conversation between Latics fan Andy Baird (@bleedingthumbs) and Roman Golobart about the Two Gallants song that I’d included.
The thing about regular features is that you have to do them regulalrly, or else they’re just… irregular. And no one wants irregular features, well maybe not no one, but we don’t really get many Mansons or Gagas down at the DW. Anyway I digress… it’s time for another perfect hat-trick and as it’s January […]
Tomorrow is FA Cup 3rd round day, the day when the big clubs from the top two divisions of English football join the oldest and most famous knockout cup competition in world football. Although the competition has been underway since September, the first Saturday in January is when all fans start to dream about their club […]
OK, I know you’re not going to remember this, but it was (almost) a regular thing back in my Not A Patch On days and Jordi’s three goals the other week got me thinking about it again. You get the “Left foot, right foot, head” thing already; it’s a perfect hattrick, right? To be […]
