It's up and running, finally. I've only posted two stories, but hopefully this site will be updated a lot more often than my last two. Which, to be honest, wouldn't take much.

It's not what I wanted design wise, but it doesn't look too bad, I think.

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

Impressive words indeed.

Congratulations to getting it up and running, EIM.

Congrats EIM, you little Gloryhunter you.

I do hope you get the paid writing gig you really deserve.

Good stuff. I do wish you'd keep the other blog running as well.

It's running. Just really slowly.

And about, if I may say, bloody time too.

I'll make you my official voice of FCUM later on today.

Good people of OTF!

Sir Alex Ferguson once described FC United fans as 'self-publicists'. In his official diary of some season where he won fuck all and so had to unload on someone to distract the masses from results, he said of our daft little club:

"I'm sorry about that. It is a bit sad that part, but I wonder just how big a United supporter they are. They seem to me to be promoting or projecting themselves a wee bit rather than saying `at the end of the day the club have made a decision, we'll stick by them.' It's more about them than us."

Having been held accountable for being a self-publicist, and a myself projectioner for two years now, I feel it is time to actually commit those crimes.

So, my blog is updated. Again. Stirling work, me. Today, further (limited) discussion of George Orwell in a sporting context. And news on how I'll be spending my evening.

Get on it at: http://itllbeoff.wordpress.com and help me once again break the now mythical ten visitors per day barrier

EIM, check yer PMs for a message about your excellent blog.

You read that people? 'Excellent' blog. And that coming from Mr. Pitch Invasion himself. How honoured I am.

If I can be permitted a moment of self-aggrandisement, I managed a mention in The Times online version this afternoon:

Only in the comments, mind, but it's a start. Three national papers down, about twelve to go. Mind you, the URL on there will be useless on about three weeks' time.

Superb. Get you, you media whore.

Yes. I'm off to a massive showbiz party now.

Well, I'm going to have a smoke on the balcony, and I might take a puppet with me.

I'm thinking of becoming a Bradford Park Avenue fan.

They could do with the support to be honest. Do you have 19,000 mates? Help fill up their proposed stadium?

'SoccerAM.net is brilliant for football!! Its a massive forum started as a fansite for SoccerAM. But it has expanded to more than that and now has a great football discussion section full of lively banter and chit chat.

Can't recommend it enough!

so damned with faint praise, possibly.
