looking back at the decades we spent living in City's world and realising: yes, that funny feeling was real; yes, the strange unease you felt when you realised the club reporting colossal commercial revenues had no cultural presence anywhere was real; you weren't crazy, it was always all fake

As good as it gets. Bury them as deep as possible, "deep within the rock in a tomb so dark it would never come to light." @tomoc.bsky.social Obliterate them redstory.substack.com/p/obliterate...

As good as (or better) than anything you will read from the main sources of football journalism. Incredible work from Tom.

I wanna a forced player auction solely for EFL teams. Erling Haaland at Fleetwood Town. Marc Guehi at Accrington Stanley. Enzo Fernandez balling out for Grimsby on £10k a week. Eight year contract if he leaves he goes to jail

Exactly the kind of writing I've always wanted to commission and edit - this is an absolute banger. And a bunch of great info on Arsenal's new boy, Andria Bartishvili - by a scout who's watched him

Redstory: my friend got married this weekend so I didn't watch the Arsenal lose, but I did watch a groomsman fall backwards down a hill in a rental suit, which I suppose works as a piece of symbolism

Mad to have such a one-sided game as Napoli end 1-0 and such a hard-fought game as Sunderland end 2-0, completely misrepresents the feeling of both games

if I dropped £120m on a forward and he played like that i’d be apoplectic. Just saying

Chelsea fans being so hateful towards ex/leaving players is so funny to me. Lads your club exists to be a supermarket

My magazine needs help to survive another season. To kick 2026/27 off I've put together seven essays across seven days with a bunch of writers I've never worked with before. I think they're great, and they're all free. Come help me grow this thing 🫶🏼

anyone remember that one transfer window Spurs puked all the Gareth Bale money all over half a dozen extremely rated talents at once and everyone was like ‘they’re gunna be sick now’ and then they were so ass they became a cautionary tale for not doing that. Anyone
