Well, some things are as predictable as the sun coming up in the morning. Newcastle United will conspire with themselves to make any game, even against the team that can’t stop conceding, look difficult. Today they managed to make it look as if they were playing 1970 Brazil for periods of the first
SCOTT ROBSON is your man with the scores on the doors… Martin Dubravka – 6. Made a couple of decent saves from Brereton Diaz, but didn’t have a lot to do despite us being overrun at times in the first half. I bet he was secretly disappointed he didn’t get the chance to save a...The post TF Player Ra
Eeesh, where to begin? I would like to preface this preview with a disclaimer that I was unable to watch Wednesday’s match and couldn’t even get it on the radio. After about 15 minutes of trying, I gave up and watched the deeply amusing Merseyside derby. I can’t stand those Scouse Mackems as much as

On another sobering midweek night in London, Emma Thompson was in the Arthur Wait stand for True Faith. It wasn’t pretty. *** “PALACE SAINT-GERMAIN!!” was the cry from the home faithful as we trudged out of a freezing Selhurst Park last night. Witty enough, lads – and not entirely without merit base

YOUSEF HATEM has fond memories of a trip to Selhurst in October 2021. YouTube highlights (including Callum Wilson’s equaliser) are here… A shabby 1-1 draw, this, between two sides who ended up finishing eleventh and twelfth that season. A match unlikely to be remembered by anyone who was not there
What’s your abiding early FA Cup memory? It might be Shearer smashing the ball in against Spurs at Old Trafford. Or Rob Lee’s bullet header of an equaliser at Wembley against Chelsea. God, if you’re in your early (hundred and) teens, it might even be the last time we won the bloody thing. Mine? List
This book review first appeared in Issue 159 of the hard-copy version of the TRUE FAITH fanzine and we thought it was worth republishing for those who might have missed it first time round. Thanks to John for his well crafted review. ‘Garrincha’, ‘The Angel with Twisted Legs’, ‘Father of the Dribbl
Despite the fact is doesn’t seem two minutes since the Christmas decorations were put away, it is, as Flight of the Conchords would say, business time for our non league sides as the season reaches its climax. Lets just say, as ever, there is plenty to write about. *** We have to start with GATESHEA
