Football: it went that way

After much deliberation, I've decided to shift all my witterings / moanings / dribblings about the beautiful game and Newcastle Utd's valiant endeavours to make it ugly to a brand spanking new site on which I will be collaborating with my good friend and fellow sufferer Paul of 1000 Shades Of Grey.

So, may I present to you: Black & White & Read All Over. At the moment the name is an absurdly hubristic piece of wishful thinking, but you never know - from acorns and all that.

Henceforth SWSL will no longer be sullied with incessant match reports or indeed any references to football. "Hallelujah!", I hear many of you cry, "About bloody time!" Never let it be said I don't listen to my public...

(Special thanks to Inspector Sands, whose removal of that particular rib from Casino Avenue to create All Quiet In The East Stand provided the original inspiration, and to He Who Cannot Be Named, who first suggested the idea of a collaborative blog.)
