This looks like a lot of fun, takes me back to my younger years playing football board games like Emlyn Hughes Team Tactix. Hope it gets enough support.
Best Eleven is now live on Kickstarter! I worked really hard on this and I can't wait for everyone to play!

Great Spurs performance for the first 70 minutes and didn't have enough off the bench to see it over the line. That's on Levy, Lange, Vinai, Don Fabio etc. Get the chequebook out lads. #COYS

Nice one Sonny, nice one Son. The word legend is vastly over-used these days but it doesn't even get close to what this man has been for Spurs. Build the statue. One of the best, good luck with what comes next. #COYS

Seemed inevitable given the silence over the past week or so from the club. In reality, no manager can succeed at Tottenham while the current ownership leave them hanging with no proper backing, so what Ange did a few weeks ago is nothing short of a miracle.

A letter from Philippe Auclair - josimarfootball.com
The reality we at Josimar face is stark. Should we fail to raise € 50k by 1 July, the world's only investigative media dedicated solely to football will cease to exist.

Great full team performance over two legs in a very well matched quarter-final. How that same Spurs squad does that and then loses so many in the league, I'll never know, but tonight it's celebrating. Name's on the cup. #COYS

Called immediate BS on seeing this, no way Pigeon Street only ran for 13 episodes but (backed up by IMDB) it did. Mind blown.
#OnThisDay 1981 : The first episode of Pigeon Street was first broadcast on BBC1. It ran for a total of 13 episodes.

This is brilliant, a new piece of technology that actually brings great value to people. No reason this couldn't be adapted by football clubs as well to help their blind/low vision fans to better enjoy their match-going experience.
this haptic display absolutely rocks. basketball is for everyone.
