Not happy with the Tesco fiasco and moving to Kirkby larr larr land, but certain Evertonians do believe every little helps. Could be worse however as Asda are also mentioned in the stadium switch, i mean they have the "Roll back" slogan. Roll back what?, the bad old years.

My main hobby is beating old ladies over the head with sticks and cudgels fashioned from pieces of two by four filched from a nearby timber merchants. I also enjoy dressing up in Shirley Bassey outfits and firebombing the local Burger King outlets.

I was occasional lecturer in the job seekers allowance chair of applied football hooliganism at the university of Scunthorpe between 1998 and 2003, have written and edited various pieces and academic publications with soccer themes, including:

*‘The pouf between the posts: an erotic memoir of the Vauxhall Conference’ by Tarquin Sandwichbottom
*‘They minced at Molineux’ – an analysis of the strategy and tactics of the great ‘wandering woofters’ side at Wolverhampton in the interwar years.
*‘[****], shave or haircut? Existential choices facing the gay centre forward’ translated from the original Serbo Croat by Iripta Bollokov and Slobodan Buggerov.
*‘The riddle of the perjured jockstrap’ and other short stories, serialised as ‘What a bloody shower’ and ‘ The cod piece in the locker room’ in the journal of income sport addictions and comparative marijuana consumption.
*‘You’re either fast or you’re food’ , an overview of the effects of dietary innovations on footballer’s performance, with special reference to the dinner ladies at Swindon town FC and the infamous ‘we have no banana custard today’ episode before the FA cup replay with Bishops Stortford in 1979.
*‘Do you know how much those shin pads cost me?’, a fiduciary history of Tottenham Hotspurs in the nineteen sixties.

I live in a bedsit near the Botanical gardens where I wee in the sink at night and have a pet spider called Boris. The next door neighbour is a right old bag. My favourite food is saucisson de squirrel in pear sauce with egg plant and pimento side salad and I would rather drink tea brewed from the gussets of incontinent OAP’s underwear than see Chelsea win the premiership again. Don’t half fancy that Arsene Wenger bloke though. I attended the magistrates last week as I was alleged to have breached my ASBO and am still awaiting confirmation of my application for the post of PE teacher at the local all girls academy. It takes guts as far as I am concerned to leap from the bushes of a cold November night dressed in nothing but a leotard as the staff nurses are clocking off. I am convinced we would be better off under the Gestapo. Avram Grant is a transsexual, a fellow graduate, with ginger quiff Mcclueless of the Tel Aviv personality and toupe reassignment clinic. I have been contracted by the News of the World to write an expose which will hit the press shortly.

I am as my screen name states Mark. I am originally from Dundee in Scotland but now live in Milton Keynes with my girlfriend and step-daughter. I have a son and daughter from a previous marriage who live in Fife, Scotland.

I am 33 years old and I have read World Soccer for at least 20 years now. I only subscribed to the magazine though last month which yes seems a bit back side forwards.

I love my football but not I must say as much as I used to as I think money has spoiled football and provincial clubs to me have next to no chance of winning league championships now.

I support my home town club Dundee Utd, well somebody has to. I also support Man Utd stemming from seeing them play my club in a UEFA Cup game in 1984 which they narrowly beat Dundee Utd 5-4 on agg.

I also go regularly now with my girlfriend to see the MK Dons which is my local team and of which the legend that is Paul Ince has done a great job. Please stay Paul, tell Leicester to get knotted.

I must admit in all the years World Soccer's quality has never slipped and is the only footie mag I would read.
Theres my plug for World Soccer do I get something for doing that!!!

Hi all, I'm Michael from Scotland. I post on 2 or 3 other forums under the same pseudonym but, while they relfect my interests, football is my passion. I am fiercly patriotic and defend Scottish football to the ends of the earth. While my opinions will differ wildly with others from time to time hopefully reasoned debate and good humour will be the order of the day.

Hi, I'm Davidov.
I'm 15 years old and live in Southend-on-sea, in Essex. Football completely dominates my life, and I have no idea what I'd do without it! My favourite teams are Southend United and Liverpool, but I also take an interest in all kinds of football: the top 4 English leagues, La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga in particular, though I am very interested in all the other leagues around Europe.

In the future, I'd like to have a job involved with football, such as a newspaper journalist or member of a football organisation. I am currently studying French and German so hopefully I might be able to use these in the future to become president of UEFA or something like that, though that is being probably too over-optimistic.

I like will watch any football on TV, and have been a subscriber to World Soccer for about 3-4 years. I love the magazine, especially because it covers the game all around the world, unlike most English newspapers, which seem to think that football is only played in this country. I know this probably isn't the right thread to put this, but I would like to see a letters page introduced to the magazine, where someone at World Soccer responds. The recently added 'from the forums' section is great but I would still like a more detailed letters page to be at least considered.

Ok, that is me, I look forward to discussing a variety of football issues with you.

Introduced myself to Steve Woodside during his competition, but forgot to do the same for everyone else. I'm Paul, 26, from Tralee in Ireland, and currently jobhunting after completing a masters in marketing. I've followed the game since the Republic's exploits in Italia 90, but haven't seen many live games as there's no real soccer tradition where I live, but hopefully that will change if the local club joins the League of Ireland next season. As the screen name suggests, I'm a lifelong Manchester United supporter and after the soccer season ends, it's time to follow the Kerry gaelic football team.
