Issue 27 - Dig the new Breed |
|
 |
As well as
Factory Records, the Ed has a bit of a fascination with Paul Weller
(Not rhyming slang for Belgium’s best export since Phillipe Albert
either). Hence Jermaine Jenas is captioned Dig the New Breed on this
front page, in recognition of the top performances the young lad was
putting in. The issue came out for the 2-1 win over Chelsea in early
March and was full of tributes for Sir Bobby’s 70th birthday,
unrestrained glee at our new cadaverous centre half (currently on a
year’s paid leave in Madrid) and the odd account of Leverkusen away.
Quality stuff. |

Issue 26 - Anger is an Energy |
|
 |
John Lydon’s
PIL mantra Anger is an Energy was the appropriate commentary on
cover star Craig Bellamy for an issue that came out in late
December, on a day when we beat Spurs 2-1. The win at Feyenoord is
written large in NUFC folklore and the accounts in here of that
night are fine reading, as are the accounts of one or two nights in
Barcelona. Billy Furious’ exemplary book A Mag For All Seasons is
given the thumbs up, as is Sarge Wilko for his early effects on the
Mackems. |

Issue 25 - Shine On! |
|
 |
Sir Bobby
and Guy Chadwick appear, superficially, to have little in common.
That said, the House of Love’s second finest moment is name checked
in bright orange letters; Shine on! The Category One’s from down the
A19 were our visitors the night we came out. A thoroughly
entertaining 2-0 win on a Monday night would have been topped off by
some superb reading for the Metro home; Dawn Trotter’s piece on
being a woman who has followed football since long before 1992 was
worth the £1.50 itself. On a slightly more testosterone fuelled
trip, Paul Gibson gave us the entertaining rundown on being a Chap
in the early 80s. |
