I'll give it a try for a year, it's far better than anything in the normal newspapers. They even have a live q&a about transfer deals for today and tomorrow where the reporters update people on current activity.

I have just signed up at 29.99 for first year and a months “free trial”.

I'm impressed. Seeing that fat tw@t Ashton have a meltdown on Twitter was the main reason I subscribed - but actually the content is strong. Good article on the rule change about leaving players in the box from a goal kick and also a nice piece on Ilkay. Long may it continue.

Could you link me up on here as he blocked me on there.

Ashton?

Signed up, some very good City articles. I’ve read one on Lukaku and his falling out at Utd which is decent too

I've been hesitant to get it over here in the States but I think I'm going to give it a go knowing there's plenty of City and footy coverage to go along with the American sports coverage.

Sorry I meant Neil Custis. Clearly never got the call and spent the morning having a hilarious bitter meltdown.

Sorry Custis! My mistake.

One's a weasel, the other a walrus. Easy mistake to make.

I see Pitt-Brooke's twitter now says he covers Spurs and other London clubs for the Athletic. Pretty much matches what he's covered for the Indie for the last few years.
