@FootballCliches @tomabadie98 Inspired by the conversation on the pod, I wrote a blog about this at my work! Including the gradual southern shift of English football

@Keir_Starmer This follows the trend of football moving closer and closer to the wealthiest. Moving football closer to the fans is the only way to reverse this trend https://t.co/ogIn3Eq04l

@ryanmcmenamin Only the cycle of one person doing something, the other disagreeing, doing something else, and back to the start again eight more times. The Johnson and Morley of football cliches

@David_Hall1987 I've been to all of Tamworth's FA Cup games this season. £17, £18 and £19 vs Macclesfield, Huddersfield and Burton. I'm cheesed off and I'm just a general football fan living in the town, never mind an actual lifelong supporter
