Its only my opinion but, what a load of pretentious bollocks!
Different strokes for different folks. I - and I'm sure many others - find CA's posts surreal, amusing, and very entertaining and witty. There's some really great writing in there.
If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it.

You didn't have anything nice to say yet you said it. If this forum only reflected approval of posts then hardly anything would be added. My opinion was it is pretentious twaddle and I am happy to stick with that, others may like it and I wish them well.
"Ahead of the tournament there was a myth circulating of a discretion known as ‘playing from the back’, but I’ve just watched a ten-minute sequence of two goalkeeps hoofing the ball to each other as though they’re playing some arcane Shrovetide game through the town."
Fan-fucking-tastic. Oh how I have missed these blog posts!

I havent.🥱
Then may I recommend keeping your mouth shut? If you haven't anything nice to say, don't say it.

Listen matey I am permitted to express an opinion that "arcane Shrovetide game" is total pretentious bollocks (as were much of the previous work). You may indeed have an opinion that differs to mine and have actually missed these pieces, bully for you, but why should I not be able to state a contrary view on it. If you wish to promote a piece of 'journalism!' on this board then you should expect (and welcome) feedback on it, even if it is not "nice". So Sir!, I reject your recommendation.

It is literally so so easy to just ignore the thread though rather than pissing on people's chips. Can't believe the paragraph's come out
Amongst the absurdity is genuine football insight I feel. And calling Shaqiri a square man (which everyone I know has ever said about him) made me chortle.

You say that as though pretentiousness is a bad thing. Would that the banal and mundane punditry of Murphy, Ferdinand, Shearer et al demonstrated one thousandth of the insight, humour and Bezosesque richness of language and imagination presented in the CA blog. How have I not seen it before? You are certainly entitled to your opinion, Halix, just as I am entitled to regard it with disdain.
Please thank her for this blog, Leuth, it is a thing of wonder. It reminds me slightly of Themanwhofellasleep.com, worth seeking out if you've time on your hands. I am enjoying it immensely. I'd comment on the posts directly, but I'm far too shy.

Agreed.
As a non-English/neutral(ish) person, this is definitely the reportage that I enjoy the most.
My only concern is the mismatched bookshelves, well, that and the fact that the author didn't get pizza for everyone...
All i see is @Leuth sitting on the edge of his unmade bed in a grubby bedsit in south London sobbing uncontrollably into his hands. Dumped you like that single sock found at the back of the washing machine. If you need to talk @Leuth..

She has a real talent and humour. Brilliant, quirky and original stuff
Gorgeous stuff yet again.
