The choice of which game to cover didn’t take long this week. Reduced to picking a match from Leagues 1 and 2 because of another tiresome international break (which unfortunately hasn’t put a stop to more inane Liverpool takeover talk), the Sky-televised contest between Brighton and Bournemouth at the Withdean was an easy pick, not least because I’ll probably be watching it.Whether I’ll be in the stadium to see two of the third tier’s current top three in an open question. My brother-in-law (if I were married) lives in Brighton and supports Albion; his partner gave birth just a few…

I’ve started tweeting in earnest over the past few days, and while I can’t deny that it has plenty of shortcomings, I have definitely come across some interesting things that would have otherwise passed me by.I’ve learnt that Mark Kennedy won’t miss the smell of monster munch on the Cardiff team bus after he leaves South Wales and, perhaps more constructively, that European Football Weekends is an absolute cracker of a blog. Elsewhere, I’ve contributed to a round of tweets that resulted in a Championship South American XI on Mirko Bolesan, have started to air sometimes reader gerschenkron’s catalogue of…
A Week in the Football League
With all eyes previously on Capello & Co, the national team’s Bloemfontein humbling has been something of a catalyst for the start of the new 2010/11 Football League season.
