Anyone still read WSC? They're celebrating their 400th issue at the moment. Interesting how they started out in the 80s more or less defending football and its poor reputation and now, having generally maintained their philosophical position, are more critical of what it's become; like the whole game has changed around them.

I started buying it in 1989 (from Spillers Records, no less) and it's still the football media which connects with me the most - recognising that the football world is a crazy, pompous, sometimes rotten place, but there's still much to love, and also self-aware enough to see our own role in the daft old circus.

I'd recommend the podcast too, particularly if you like the game's historical lunacies and quirks.
