Fat Old Man Tells Football Where It's Going Wrong

They don't make stadiums, crowds, friendlies, host cities, extra time, ticket offices and yellow football kits like they used. Oh I let it all pour out over the years, I did - mostly, according to this selection, the year 2016 and mostly on the When Saturday Comes website.

Think yourself lucky - I wrote over a hundred of these.*

DECEMBER 2016: Japan’s Club World Cup highlights shift from traditional powerbases

NOVEMBER 2016: Ticket offices remain key to clubs winning over hearts and minds

OCTOBER 2016: Overpowering crowd noises are a rare thing of beauty

AUGUST 2016: Extra time made redundant by more TV-friendly formats

JUNE 2016: English stadiums edge towards elusive 100,000 capacity

APRIL 2016: Nothing would beat being there for Leicester title win
