March 24, 2022 By Mark Watson | 2 Comments on Protests, The Fan Led Review & The Blues Trust
I loved the faceless mask protest. Well, the idea of it anyway. The whistles caught the eye of the media and the tennis balls brought us one of the greatest memes in Blues history.

December 30, 2020 By Mark Watson | 15 Comments on Gutless. Feckless. Soulless.
It’s currently around the 78th minute mark and Blues have just conceded their 4th Derby goal. Let’s be honest, this game’s been over since the 17th minute, but being the glutton for punishment that I am, I’m still sat on the living room floor surrounded by Christmas chocolate and empty beer cans whilst the daughter’s […]

When it comes to writing about the Blues; I like to have the Summer off. If I’m honest I like to almost forget about football altogether in favour of family time, BBQs in the rain and a spot of ruddy good cricket. In the words of the great Al Pacino in The Godfather Part III: […]

I tell you what, that Wigan game eh? Phew! When Che Adams did that… and when Mrabti kicked the.. erm.. ball, well I never…! OK, I wasn’t there since I had to work so I have virtually no comments to make about the game itself but by the sound of things, I didn’t exactly miss […]

There’s often a few incidents that shape a season. Whether it’s the emergence of a fresh new talent, the employment of a new tactical system or simply just a wonder goal that sparks a run of good results. You could probably pick one or two turning points from almost every season and follow the upward […]

Do you hear the people sing? Singing the songs of angry men? It is the music of the people who will NOT fight relegation again! When the beating of your heart, echos the beating of the drums, there is a fight-back about to start when tomorrow comes! OK, I’ve recently been to see Les Miserables […]

Hey all, remember me? I’ve shurked my writing responsibilities over the last couple of weeks in favour of a holiday in the rain and a little bit of family time but never fear, I have returned! Now, when I last wrote for this site we were flirting dangerously with the prospect of a drama free […]

If I'm being honest, I probably shouldn't be writing this right now. It's a well known fact that you should never drink and drive, however a lesser known cautionary tale goes as follows: Don't whip yourself into a Twitter frenzy, then write an article.
March 5, 2019 By Mark Watson | 5 Comments on Hate’s a strong word, but…
My Mommy always taught me never to say the word ‘hate’. Shouting, swearing, answering back and the word ‘hate’ were all off the table. “It’s too strong a word” she’d say, “it’s horrible and you should only ever use it if you really mean it”. She’d teach us to say “dislike” instead. Well I dislike […]
February 26, 2019 By Mark Watson | 3 Comments on FFP – We deserve to be punished not damaged
Waiting for this bloody EFL hearing is a bit like waiting for Christmas at the moment! Except in our case instead of rushing downstairs to find a horde of presents under the tree, we’re expecting to find Santa sitting there with a baseball bat ready to knee cap us. As the Partridge Family once sang; […]
