🚨 NEW ISSUE UPDATE 🚨
Issue 8, due late November 2024.
Great stories locked in already and plenty more in the pipeline. Won't be one to be missed.
🧊 Price frozen at £3.50*

Stuck on a coach home from London for a few hours, so it's time for a Premier League managers rated as your step-dad thread, 2023 update, Christmas edition, one for the tiktok generation.
Buckle up folks.
@nocontextfm1
I always start unemployed with no badges and the Swedish non-league usually take you on. Their leagues are relatively short and you can make some good money from a decent cup run which is possible with their group format. Some sleeping giants in their top league to rebuild too
We'd be up opposing this in the strongest terms with other fan groups.
The FA Cup is a historic institution, its traditions are a part of the fabric of football in this country, it should not be playing second fiddle or cowering to the European ambitions of Premier League clubs.
Free, online copy of Issue 4 available here.
By far our most jam packed issue, sincerely hope that all of our new followers take a look, even if it's just a peak to see what we're about, maybe even give it a cheeky RT for us.
Enjoy. ⚽️

I feel like, if I was at a premier league club with a budget that dwarves even most European giants, if I had such a problem with cup replays, I would simply just win the first leg and stop being a fucking baby about it.
Going to be some away day for us next weekend.
England in the quarter final on the train to Stanstead and then a flight over to Norway to take our place on the Østblokka.

Everytime I speak to people about the mag I like to stress it doesn't make any money.
Any "profits" we do make go towards cool things like this, that you're all a part of.
Sponsoring the player of the tournament at the first ever football competition on the Marshall Islands
We are delighted to announce our first sponsor for the Ratak Cup here in the Marshall Islands - the nation's first ever Futsal Cup

We'll never be the biggest mag, but giving folk a chance to get away from it all with a zine about football is why we do this.
we wouldn't be able to operate without x, but it's important to remember to put the phone down every once in a while.
Have a good one folks.

I would really like to get the big pile of mag stuff in the corner of my kitchen tidied away this weekend.
I go and watch Barnsley in league one and would watch them if they got higher, but non-league is where the soul of the game is, and that's where more and more old fashioned football fans will find themselves turning in the next few years.
Liam Brady says that he has fallen out of love with football at the highest level due to issues such as sportswashing and social media. Does anyone else feel disillusioned with modern football?
It's been some season following the Pewits.
Made this banner earlier in the year with my dad for the Emley ultras, was easier than you'd think tbf.
All you need is one massive bit of tarp, some paint, and a pub with a spare room. Get at it.
Up the Pewits 🟣🔵

I couldn't have won the treble with Roma if it wasn't for my under 18s sports scientist to be fair , the fella was integral.
My assistant manager on the other hand, absolute cow boy just along for the ride.
A public service announcement.
Please, for the love of all that is holy, can people just call Sheffield United their full name or even "Sheff United" or "Sheff U" if that's too much.
Seeing people refer to "Sheffield" when they mean Sheffield United is so jarring
Sneak peak at the mag for those who still haven't copped it.
It looks absolutely spectacular, is packed full of 48 pages of class football stories by regular folk and costs less than a fiver.

The baby boy byfield will never die.
It might hibernate from time to time and sink back into the swamp.
I think the cylical nature of the universe in which it exists demands it adheres to some of its rules.
Question for the day, who's the player your club signed on loan and you fell in love with?
Bonus points if they never went on to sign a permanent deal.

2 years ago today we started the twitter account for this magazine.
Stories of people seeking out the beautiful game anyway they could during Covid are now thankfully swept away by stories of people getting in amongst it properly.
Which has been your favourite so far?
It's Friday, festival season is upon us and it's been a while since

❌️ Puts empty chocolate wrappers back in the box. 8/10

🧵: The battle for Playa Blanca
On holliday in Lanzarote, I managed to read "The Chosen Few" by M.Velikonja a book all about football graffiti & stickers.
Coincidentally, on a 1 mile stretch of coastline, I discovered a football sticker battle for superiority...

Ever seen your club linked with a wonderkid from a foreign league & looked them up on YouTube ? It's all stepovers set to reassuringly tranquil house music, the club know what they're doing..
Here's the complete antithesis of that.

I’m building a fantasy football stadium. Which parts of grounds – past or present – would you like to nominate for inclusion? So far, I have the spiral walkways from San Siro, the boat man of Gay Meadow, and Central Coast Mariners’ 20ft inflatable sauce bottles…
A wild few days, watching the football club I’ve supported since I was born, doing something I never dreamed was possible. Tear Gas, Leffe and Late Equalisers on the Mediterranean coast. Football.
Despite him writing for the mag and me knowing him for years now, I've only ever actually met
@Jackalbion96
in person a few times, and yet, he still manages to be one of my favourite blokes on this planet.
An absolute king.
I'm on this waffling about football, the intro is in Norwegian but the rest is English.
I talk about fanzines, football culture in the UK compared to Norway, Non-league, this mag, and loads more
Fanziner i England- møt Andy fra

Finnes det fremdeles en kultur utafor det hyperkommersielle PL vi ser på TV? Les uavhengige fanziner, så finner du ut hva som skjer
Every single person who has ever bought a copy of the mag is part of a little piece of history.
The first ever official player of the tournament on the Marshall Island's will be sponsored by you lot.
👏👏👏
West Ham - Moyes
➕️ Performs better than expected. Comes to life after a glass of bucks fizz. Good company and takes a lot of stress off your mum in the kitchen.
❌️ Gets way too competitive at charades. Calls your grans attempt at "Film - Hurt Locker" "absolute pish" 7/10
🇨🇿 Prague was top drawer.
We managed to see Arctic monkeys but some rather wet weather scuppered our chances of getting to see any football with Bohemians 1905 and Dukla Prague both cancelling games.
And to think, all I wanted for Christmas was a Dukla Prague away kit too.
Arsenal - Arteta
➕️ Imports a banging bit of ham every year. Doesn't get all high & mighty about it, gets stuck into the pigs in blankets as well.
❌️ Is up at 5 in the morning boxing day doing shuttle runs in the back garden in the new running shoes your mam got him. 7/10
The best day of the year today in my opinion.
Loads of football on, hardly anyone's at work, no one stressing about whether the roast potatoes are done. The day Christmas day wishes it was.
Where you all off to today ?
Forest - Cooper
➕️ Reads out all the christmas cracker jokes and laughs over the top at everyone, it's daft, but infectious.
❌️ gets the face on when you make a joke about him looking like a human crossed with Brussel sprout. Ruins the night. 6/10
Not long until issue 6 joins this lot. Trying to make it the most visually pleasing yet. It's got some great stories.
What started as a daft idea i had bored in my mates box room in lockdown has become my favourite hobby.

What are the WORST football predictions of all-time?
YouTubers, Pundits, Ex Pros, Wherever you can find em, send let me know below 👊
ps. I've got Rory's Haaland shout written down already.
Idea for a TV show. "The masked footballer" a former pro faces off in a 5-aside game with and against a team full of celebrities. Panel of pundits / ex players have to guess who it is.
Slap it on Saturday nights and make a killing.
Spring now ain't it, and summer's not far away.

Take it to the beer garden, take it on holliday, do what yer like. £3.50. Be rude not to.
1) I'm in love with that Northampton Lotto kit.
2) at this point it's impossible to keep up with all the excellent content Terrace Edition are putting out.

Northampton Town rarely do things easy, so Saturday's League 2 promotion clash vs Bradford was never going to go smoothly.

TRASFERTA MAG ISSUE 2 -
Officially off to the printers, online version will be available once those who pre-ordered have started to receive their copies. (You can still pre-order issue 2 or a copy of issue 1 here -> )
Sneak preview below...
The best part of any issue.
Shipping out.
Back is knackered, but selling too many mags is that old cliché of "a good headache for the gaffer to have".
Internationals and contributor's copies out on the weekend, order before then to get yours shipped at the weekend too. 👊
This account baffles me. A massive football account with the chance to shed some light on what's happening here (I have no idea). Clearly something big the fan base has a problem with. Instead, it just says "they've lost the plot" as if its random and not part of something bigger
Ajax fans have lost the plot, they are now vandalising their own stadium.
The game against Feyenoord was abandoned due to fan trouble with Feyenoord 3-0 up in the 37th minute. 🤯

Me: I refuse to call it the Carabao cup, this sponsorship is just typical of corporations using historic footballing traditions to further their brand.
Also me: Still calls it the Carling Cup.
@ViewFTTouchline
I developed this with Barry to try and finally beat their dominant 3-5-2 by overloading their relatively week left side early on in my save, then it started to dominate. I got them to the Final of he europa conference league and now get them into the CL proper most years using it
