Verses? Let’s face it, they’re rubbish, aren’t they? The artist blabbers on because they are not concise enough to get the gist across wi[…]

Make mine a double
Dopplegangers have become confused in the public mind, it seems to me. In modern parlance, it seems to be much more ‘someone who looks like me’ rather than ‘my malevolent double’. That meaning still exists i[…]

FC United of Manchester. The very best of luck to them, I’m sure we all hope they do well. A well-respected TMFD writer can be heard talking in his cups about how AFC Wimbledon are the John The Baptist to FCUM’s Jesus, though neither has […]

This is a surprising and enjoyable take on the relationship between a fan and a club, although it betrays a rather fuddled mind, I fear:
“Ties are stronger than they could ever be with a woman. If she goes and sleeps with your best mate, it&#8[…]

Or Kraken’s in general. Lord knows how many of them could be down there. Thank the heavens that they don’t pop up, or “Wake” more often. Scary many armed sea creatures, The Kraken is the best of a surprisingly large number of […]
