    Subscribe to London Evening Standard, excellent newspaper, football coverage obviously London orientated.

    Also subscribe to Daily Mail(English version).

    Also like the English Times on a Monday.

    To be honest I wouldn't wipe my behind with any of the newspapers on sale in Ireland. Obviously, the Irish Times is excluded. The sky sports pseudo journalism in most of the tabloids is an insult to 300,000 years of human evolution.

    As far as magazines go, you can't surpass World Soccer. Not even the presence of Brian Glanville can spoil a top-class monthly publication.

    I go for the Guardian myself - their website is excellent too, and covers Spain and Italy very well too. I think the Irish Independent is rubbish, there's never anything worth reading in it.

    When I was in Vancouver for a summer, we had a 442 in our jacks, and no matter how many times I had given it the once over, I would still have a goosey if I was laying a brown egg.

    World Soccer is excellent imo, FFT is too much of an overdoes of the British game, get enough of that here!

    I'm a big fan of World Soccer magazine. Great reporting from around the world and in Brian Glanville(who also writes for the sunday times) they have surely the most experienced football writer around? I think he's been to something like 12 world cups!

    Sweden 1958 was his first World Cup, so that makes it 13 all told. Remarkable. I also like how the English journalists have absolutely no notions about their national team.
