I was there at Leicester (wasn’t born). Blades stuff on the The Pinch, and EFL stuff with NTT20. Speechwriter 9-5.

Ollie Arblaster has done his ACL, but that opens the door for Sydie Peck. A do-it-all midfielder, the 20-year-old has impressed so far and has the skillset to fill the boots of the fallen Sheffield United captain. It could be the kickstart of a promising career.

"The grind is good for the soul. I recall one game where I read more words in a sentence of graffiti on the Kop than successful passes made by a Warnock side. Young people — young Blades — need and deserve similar experiences."

I wrote bits like this and a few more...
Full to the brim with ideas after losing at the FSA Awards, we have gone and started a new column.

NEW POD | 33% of the season in, it's time to re-rate the Championship.

David pits the analogue analysis of Sam against the might of Riley's 10,000-season simulation: it's man vs machine.

To a speechwriter, John Prescott was a bit of a unicorn.

Knowingly funny, incredibly authentic, and sincere in his beliefs. Obviously, everyone remembers the "punch", and he didn't pull them.

But the square brackets at the end of this speech to the Labour Conference in 2000 are memorably epic...

#TheRhetoricOfFootball

I'm a speechwriter who writes about football. One of the most powerful rhetorical devices is...

🔺REPETITION 🔺Emphasize your point, build pace and make messages easy to remember.

Come for Warnock, stay for reverse repetition at 1:21 🤯

Early days #BSkyBlades...

Hopefully a place of more and better conversation.

So, random non-footballing question.

What is the best live performance you've ever seen outside of football? Could be music, theatre, or another sport.

Mine would be...
