Not a Rant: Engage

Not a Rant: Engage

Or, perhaps a rant within ‘not a rant’… In the pub, at half-time that other Tuesday, I returned to my seat after a visit to the bar to find that three twenty-somethings had materialised. I hadn’t gone out of my way to notice them, it’s...

Believe in Better

Believe in Better

If I were to make New Year’s resolutions, this year mine would be to watch less football, or – more specifically, to no longer watch Sky Sports.* *It would have suited the narrative flow of this post to have started the previous sentence with ‘My...

Bifurclownshoes “Season” Review

*abso maverick glolorific intro to rapturous applause* *from Paul*   Here’s some questions we asked each other to pad this excuse for Tom to share his considered thoughts on the 2018/19 season:   1. What shape is a/the wheel? Benno:…

We’re inviting our Twitter friends, and now resident thought sharer Iwan Lehnert, to share some of their ‘Pre and Post Match’ thoughts with us from now on. If you want to share, get in touch! You can still enjoy my nonsensical, confusing, punctuation buffets below their proper good ones… Iwan (@IwanLehnert): I know that every team can get diddled with their fixtures when trying to marry European flings and domestic routines, but we’ve got to...

Canvey Island cds, tapes and vinyl: Valentine's Special

Canvey Island cds, tapes and vinyl: Valentine’s Special

United fan Cupid (What is Love? Robin van Persie!) was looking for love. The over-commercialization of Valentine’s Day was upsetting him – not in and of itself, it’s just that people were forgetting that it was simply a day of love and there was nothing wrong with celebrating that simple fact. He knows in his heart that you don’t have to buy into all that superficial stuff, but being over 1000 years old and only...

OaRtVP: Submit your (O)RVP images here…

At Bifurcated we like to acknowledge creativity as an intrinsic part of life, and we also feel it’s important to democratise it. Art should be for all to enjoy. With this in mind, we are again cosying up with our very good friend Paul off of the Rant Cast (like we did for Little Drummer Eric) to celebrate our love of (O)RVP. Paul has written a outstanding tribute song (as you’d expect) – which he is currently recording – and we would...

United 2 - 0 Everton

United 2 – 0 Everton

I’m a bit too excited to write this, with the Real game – Football Christmas – only hours away, but I’ll give a few things a go… Was great to see us keep a sustained level of focus, the timing with the Real game and all, was impeccable. We’re by no means setting the world alight but there is a flame that is strong enough to give us hope. I never doubted that the intensity...

We’re currently nine points...

Fulham 0 - 1 United

Fulham 0 – 1 United

They say that it’s not the exciting, high-octane games that win you the titles, it’s the ones – like this – where you win the hard way. What do they know, and who are they anyway? I’d say it’s more accurate to say it’s a mix of both, unless you’re Chelsea under Mourinho, or Arsenal in those halcyon  ‘1-0 to the Arsenal’ days. Either way a win is a win is a win and as...

Exhibition: The sound of the life of the mind

Exhibition: The sound of the life of the mind

My exhibition opens to the public today. It’s not really about football, but it does feature ‘Ka-Powell!’, after it was kindly voted for by people from the football Twitter-sphere. “How do I it?” (I’m asking on your behalf – you’re welcome!) I use electrical tape to draw with. I started drawing with electrical tape because when I was preparing for my first ever public exhibition – fourteen years ago – I had no money and I just...

United 2 - 1 Southampton

United 2 – 1 Southampton

The benefit of having not seen the game or any subsequent highlights is two-fold. First, I don’t have to write one of these, when I’m busy and the second benefit is all yours: the first one repeated. The silence that keeps on giving. From what I’ve heard we played well-ish in the first half and then they gave us a good game in the second half. I never like to co-opt other people’s opinions on...
