Smack my pitch up // Kicking racism out of football – literally, in the case of Suarez
I have to be honest with you, I was out most of the weekend and didn’t see any of the matches, forgot to record Match of the Day, couldn’t be bothered to iPlayer it, and am now flying by the seat of my pants in writing this. Let’s see how we get on. First, the […]

Smack my pitch up // Three good football films (they’re not a load of balls)
Action, sci-fi or horror is what you’ll usually find in my film bag, baby, but I do occasionally love me a good sports movie. Sadly, for the most part films about football are complete cheese-fests; there have been a couple that stand out, stand the test of time, stand up to criticism, stand by me. […]

Smack my pitch up // The Merseyside Derby: ducking and diving
Welcome to the all-new sexy football bit. So yesterday was Merseyside Derby day at the toffee palace of Goodison Park – and as a Liverpool fan I was hoping that I’d be writing a smug-laden report, while smearing my face Commando style with the blood of an Everton supporter and singing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ in Latin […]

Euro 96: When football came home // And Alan Shearer still had hair
Ahh, the Euros AKA the UEFA European Football Championships. If you don’t know what the bobbins it’s all about, read our Chrissy’s guide to Euro 2012 here. For me, the Euros kicked off (LOLZ) my football obsession, way back when… *cue shite dream sequence music* It was June 1996 and Alan Shearer still had hair. […]

Nivea signs Euro 96 team mates for skincare ad // Yes, it’s worse than Southgate’s Pizza Hut one…
Some 16 years after Euro 96, I am nearly able to forgive Gareth Southgate for THAT penalty miss against Germany in the semi final I said NEARLY, alright?). But I’ll never let him off for appearing in that awful Pizza Hut advert alongside fellow shoot-out flops Stuart Pearce and Chris Waddle soon after his EPIC […]

Oh baby…Euro you want to… (watch the football, that is. Dirty) // A girl’s guide to Euro 2012
I need to type this quickly as I may orgasm before I finish the sentence. It’s June, it’s 2012, that means it’s time for the UEFA European Football Cha- *gasp* sorry. Once again, the UEFA European Football Championship, or the ‘Euros’ if you speak fluent abbreviation. This year, the greatest sporting event on planet earth […]

David Beckham has the skillz that fit the billz (and hit the binz)
I heart David Beckham. He can do no wrong in my eyes. Particularly loving his new quiffed hair (what? I’m a girl! I can say that!) but this video’s pretty cool too: The stunt shot was captured during filming for the proper Pepsi commercial, but no doubt the ad execs will be rubbing their podgy […]

How to… understand the offside rule. Even if you’re a girl.
The below is a post I did on my own blog last year, but seemed worthy of resurrection after the recent ‘own goal’ scored by (now ex) Sky Sports presenters Andy Gray and Richard Keys mouthing off about gals not ‘getting’ the beautiful game. Listen for yourself here. Essentially, the idiotic pair thought their mics […]
