Meet Misha

Hello! My name's Misha, and I like football. A lot. Always have. Probably always will. So I had the incredibly original idea of making a football blog. It may be the first of its kind. Yes, ok, there are a lot of football blogs, but most are about tactics and team selections and complaining about referees. And that's great. I read a lot of them myself. But I wanted to make a blog about the human stories around football, what it does to us, why we love it, and sometimes despise it. Not just the Premier League, but grassroots, Sunday league, five a side. The whole spectrum of the beautiful game. Full disclosure: I am an Arsenal fan, which in the eyes of some makes me an insufferable, entitled nob. I promise not to write about Arsenal games. Unless we beat Spurs. Or finally win the league. Or Bukayo Saka does something adorable.
