Mattia Guarnera puts grinning paintings on vintage football shirts.

They’re a bit like as if someone had got old covers of The Face or NME and plastered them onto a Real Madrid shirt from 2005.

It was a pleasure to chat to him about his work.

In 1995, Liverpool supporter and Lilleshall graduate John Marshall signed for Everton. He passed away on the day he was due to start life as a Toffee.

Through Cardiac Risk in the Young, The John Marshall Fund has raised more than £100,000. This is his story.

A transformative football tournament took place in Oslo last week.

'Gotta support the team though, haven't you?'

I wrote about the world of shit TV football dialogue for @mundialmag.bsky.social, to learn why characters always talk about football in such a deeply weird way.

Cheers to Adam from @footballcliches.bsky.social and Sean for chatting with me!

Fábio is “inexplicable”.

44 years of age, more professional games than anyone in the history of the game, and yet he’s still pretty fantastic.

We got Tim Vickery to investigate how he’s managed it, and why a Brazil cap has eluded him.

Lionel Messi playing at Upton Park?! @jj_bull was there, and it was a supernatural experience.

It also inspired him to create his very own Aberdonian Messi for his fantasy day out at the football.
