The Football League Show
Writing about web page http://www.thefirst90minutes.com/20090824276/football-culture/the-football-league-show.html
This article has to be a bit of a collector’s item. It is not in my nature to have a go about the BBC and their football coverage. If I start to whinge about the BBC, I feel that I am taking a swipe about everything that is great about Britain. If I grumble about Match of the Day, I feel as if I am committing one of the biggest sins in British football. I was a bit young for David Coleman and Frank Bough but Des took me through the big football moments of my crazy childhood years. Gary has taken on the task over the last decade or so.

I Predict– Fixture Congestion
Writing about web page http://www.thefirst90minutes.com/20090608249/football-culture/i-predict-fixture-congestion.html
Life is certainly busy in the newspapers in June 2009, whether at Westminster or in the Britain’s Got Talent studio, but fast forward yourself to June 2010. There is a chance that your mind will (hopefully) be focused on the England team and the World Cup. Memories of World Cup qualifiers will (hopefully) be a distant memory, and England will (hopefully) play well and (hopefully) survive further than a quarter final penalty shootout.

Eurovision and the Champions League
Writing about web page http://www.thefirst90minutes.com/20090518241/football-culture/eurovision-and-the-champions-league.html
I know that the Eurovision Song Contest is one of the key events of the year for many people in the UK as well as across Europe. Despite my attempts to set aside a whole Saturday night to enjoy the delights of Norwegian pipe music of Belgian ‘funky hip hop hard house,’ it has never quite worked for me. I am bored after about half an hour of spandex and dodgy harmonicas. I try and raise a cheer to the United Kingdom’s entry. The results drone on for over an hour, and the UK comes near the bottom of the board or even last. The United Kingdom has twice won the contest in my lifetime.
