Famous at last!

Please excuse our momentary bout of self-congratulation but we here at Some People On The Pitch are feeling rather pleased with ourselves.

That's because yesterday's edition of The Guardian mentioned our humble little site in its feature on football blogs. To be more specific, it was in their pull-out booklet 'The Guide' but let's not diminish the sense of achievement here...

OUR SITE APPEARED IN THE NATIONAL PRESS!!!!

It makes us feel very proud and naturally we're going to take the appropriate page from 'The Guide', put it in a frame and hang it on the wall in our toilet. It means that much to us.

In addition, we see this as payback for all of you, our loyal visitors who have helped to make the site a success over the last fifteen months. Not only that, but our grateful thanks go to all of you that have written articles for us during that time too. We couldn't have done it without you!

And now if you'll excuse us, we have work to do. Acclaim like this doesn't generate itself, you know... ;-)

    Does this mean headlines such as:

    SPAOTP management in shock sex scandal.

    or

    Police called in to investigate betting fraud at SPAOTP

  6. I don't think we need concern ourself too much with The Sun or The Mirror, given that we've set the bar quite high now... ;-)

  8. Thanks for the kind words, Chris B.

    Like Gerrard, we are direct, tenacious, talented and good in the box(?)

    As long as we don't take a dive like he sometimes does, we'll be fine. ;-)
