Right, what do you read football magazine-wise?

Monkey Business is an obvious...but what about printed stuff?

Anyone read owt that isn't well known?

I haven't read Late Tackle yet - is it decent or bobbins?

Obviously I've read stuff like Four Four Two and When Saturday Comes as well as Blizzard and Backpass....is Backpass still going? Haven't seen it in ages....

This might be worth a look too: http://standfanzine.bigcartel.com/

Anyway, what do you read and/or recommend??

The Bunker, have you heard of it?
It's debatable whether it's footy related mind.

I thought that was a religion and politics based site with the occasional football reference?

Listen rather than read. Podcasts are the future.

Picked up a few football books in Durham oxfam last week. 1 on the greatest number 10s. Another about how modern football is absolutely shit.

Probs truths embellished to be a bit more shocking or entertaining. All canny reads like.

Can't argue with most of the above but I'd also add http://twohundredpercent.net/

Also The Blizzard does podcasts for people who like them. Including this one by Harry Walter Mitty Shithead about Boydy.

Very occasionally I'll pick up a copy of 'When Saturday Comes' magazine. Other than that, very little.

I imagine turning the pages was quite tricky an all?

The bit where he gets off the train and walks onto Church Street really annoyed me - it was like a cartoon representation of the town.............but other than that, a truly brilliant book........
