This week John uses a speech by John F Kennedy to provoke thought about the relationship between the club, its employees and we the fans – and then swiftly moves onto to talk about a club which our Honorary President once managed – Willington AFC.

This week John agrees with the Eric Cantona saying, “You can change your wife, change your politics, change your religion. But never, never can you change your favourite football team!”, muses if Pools fans are really as bad as they are made out to be, and ponders dividing his allegiances between two clubs….

This week John all but suggests that we Poolies have had a relatively easy life – the basis of his argument being the history of Berwick Rangers FC – and the help that club has needed from its supporters to merely survive.
