hello!

good afternoon.

yes, it is another blog

yes, it is about football. also, maybe some other sports. but i will try as much as possible to leave out my ramblings about film & music. (if you're reading this, you're probably having enough trouble maintaining interest in my thoughts about the shooting ability of didier zokora, so i'm not going to try and bore you with multiple topics.)

some ground rules:

- this will be mostly about the premiership. it will not be called the "epl" at any stage, by anyone. i may start calling it the premier league, but that is simply because i can't remember what barclays/barclaycard have decided it should be referred to this year.

- i will probably talk about international football and other leagues if and when i watch them. i may also write about these things based on complete guesswork. (try and work out which is which, it may be difficult.)

- i'm a spurs fan, which probably means excess moaning about jermaine jenas and excess eulogising about ledley king. however, i'm going to try to rein myself in most of the time. i like to think it won't be that bad.

- this is my first blog. don't know if there is any etiquette, but i imagine the likelihood is my gargantuan fanbase will correct me as i go along.

- if i actually manage to maintain this on a regular basis i will be absolutely astounded.

that is all. i will probably begin with some nonsense on the beginning of the premiership (cunningly timed starting this so i can avoid making predictions) and then start grumbling about england.

oh, another rule:

- i moan a lot. sorry.

(i'm not sorry really.)
