Employment Crisis Over
FCF have solved the unemployment crisis. With just a slight adjustment of the welfare to work system, we could find work for the millions of budding journalists/aspiring bloggers in the private sector. Hardcore tactical and statistical analysis, badly translating the foreign press, and making sure they have their say on literally anything that happens. Surely we can solve the public sector job lossses by putting this hard-writing, hard-Alan-Shearer-mocking troupe to work. You, me, Goldman Sachs: Let’s make this happen.

Oh
Watching Gilad Shalit’s momentous release, I caught myself wondering whether I’d find five-and-a-half seasons captivity in any way assuaged by the experience of watching all the applicable football, in as short a time as possible, as live. In fact after removing the final insult-shirt traditionally inflicted by captors, there’d be little on my mind beyond Matches of the Day versus United season reviews versus as many full games as possible. And what if you wanted to go in the meantime? Could you avoid ruining the backstory? Would it be worth it? I’ll say it again: oh.

Remember the day
October 18 2011. Remember the date. This was the day that Sepp Blatter decided to blow the lid of the whole damn sorry mess. Truth, light, transparency and glasnost. All words applied yesterday in a prolonged moment of relief. Sepp Blatter is going to release the documents relating to the FIFA bribery farce investigation. Everything is resolved, the edifice of piss will transform into the edifice of purest water. Lo, we can rejoice. You’ve saved FIFA, Sepp!

There are more questions than answers, pictures in my mind that will not show
As the mystery personality music in a Question of Sport viewers competition (and Johnny Nash) once declared, in the days when the BBC weren’t banned from having them because they couldn’t be trusted not to finagle the results. Anyway, some of you have been wondering what The FCF stands for. Here’s an answer.
