Benno (@Benglorious) Sunderland, or the ‘Black Cats’ as they are called for some unknown reason, were founded in 1879 by a teacher, James Allan, who wanted a way to impress the dinner ladies at his school.  Bitches love association football team founders who are also teachers.  He must have had some success, as his team didn’t join the rest of the proper teams in the league of football thing until eleven years later, by which...

Multiversity is an ongoing DC comics series written by Grant Morrison. Every month sees a story in a different version of the DC universe (eg kids of the well-known heroes who have nothing to do because their parents created a utopia where the bad guys can never win) loosely tied around a seemingly haunted comic book. Footballiversity and the various numbered Footballiverses are a shameless rip-off of the comics device (found elsewhere too, of course)...

I read* an interesting** article*** yesterday: according to the statters, that’s the first time Swansea have beaten us since the last time we played them; stretching back as far as that was. And I was talking**** to some***** Swansea fans, and they told me Garry Monk was prroud of the rresult, cos he had a new hair do. I imagine it’s disappointing when you go to all that trouble and expense for a special occasion...

  Benno (@Benglorious) It’s been a strange week at Bifurcated Towers.  Lots have questions have been raised after we’ve had to deal with the fallout from that tweet from the last game in Preston: Is there a Quality Street in Wales?  Is there any way to find out?  Why do radiators and sinks need earthing?  If vegetable oil comes from vegetables, where does baby oil come from?  Aren’t all gifts “free”?  Why don’t we ever make any money?  I guess we’ll...

Special Guest PNE Fan Hanna (@Hannamayj) When I signed up for this (I didnt sign up for this, I was held against my will) I didn’t realise it would extend to banter at both ends so here’s a match review which may or may not include mostly fan fiction… I arrived at Deepdale to the open arms of Archangel David Moyes; the spirit of Tom Finney ruffled my hair and opined his usual yet eerie...

Special Guest PNE Fan Hanna (@Hannamayj) DIRECTIONS (Assuming no Red has ever been further north than Bolton before) : Go north up the M6 for 30 miles and exit at the Tickled Trout, or Junction 31 to non-Prestonians (we had a town meeting to decide the naming of all major junctions. Probably. Either way, that’s a thing) and marvel at yet another fallen industrial giant:  Preston. FACTS: The last time you came to Deepdale (our...

If the Universe was truly balanced then RVN would jump up behind Martin Keown like an evil clown on acid every time he opened his mouth. Next time he’s on Match of the Day, I’ll be putting my foot through the telly and sending Gary Crisps the etc… This match played out like the Hallmark greetings card we deserved: reminding us that sometimes it’s not the big Ings, but the Smallings that count. I can’t...
