As the Taliban erases women from all public life, the Afghan women’s football team remains a symbol of courage and resistance for their country.
That is why I joined and 100+ parliamentarians from the UK, Australia, Portugal and Italy to send a letter to FIFA… Show more

I love watching ’s travels on here.
To say he goes off the beaten-path would be the understatement of the year!
I wish I had his fearlessness and wanderlust.

All football fans are interested in their clubs record...date,opponent result,scorer,attendance etc. ....but new book tells of a different record.....a record about the 'heart & soul' of a club...a story of life & death...a story of belonging over the decades

I had a thing for these progs from the eighties when I was a boy.
They were so neat, colourful, and full of a love for the club.
I’d save my pocket money and buy them from Steve Earl.
Even though I lived in Southampton and supported the Saints!

Check out vimeopro.com/octapixx/naaga The Forbidden Team - about the first ever Tibet national team match.
I also meet the national team in #AnotherBloodySaturday

Currently amazed and enthralled by the Gyalyum Chenmo Memorial Gold Cup in Tibet
Lack of resources, finances, facilities, training, a national team which isn’t affiliated by FIFA, high altitudes, continued oppression. Yet here they are, still playing the beautiful game

A bit of a thread about a Manchester United loving footballer called Ochiroo who has set out to cycle from his home in a yurt in Mongolia to Old Trafford to watch his beloved team play for the first time. Can anyone can help with a link to so he gets a warm welcome?

Just wow. I finally got round to finishing The Ghosts of Inchmery Road by @MatGuy5 and I’m at a loss for words for how beautiful, melancholic, heartwarming and moving that was. I would have finished it earlier had I not cried every chapter!
Thank you again for sending me it!

‘The Lives of Stanley B’ details what life was like in Southampton during the Blitz, as well as in the build up to June 6 and D-Day.
Stanley Buchanan lives it all in the book, in honour of those who lived it for real.

Looking forward to the next already

I’m getting a serious case of envy over the upcoming championships.
One (amazing looking) venue. Two games each day, featuring teams I’ve wanted to see for a long time.
If only money and time wasn’t an issue I’d be there!
I never respond to the constant trail of emails demanding reviews for things I have bought... unless the item really deserves it... and comes from a small independent... I have just written a review on for The Good Lion by Len Doherty

Southampton desperately needs an outdoor pool/lido.
How cool is this!
