The jokes are better than on the WSC cover. I liked the 'how to take a corner' one.

I thought that looked pretty terrible really. I half think it's just a piss take of Match.
First time I remember Shrewsbury being match of the month. Of course they didn't deign to come down Montgomery Waters Meadow. It's only Shrewsbury's most exciting season since 1979. No, instead it's off to Blackburn because the old 'Premier League club fallen on hard times' angle is the real story. They do the same with Portsmouth in the Kickaround section. Bloody starfuckers.
And someone has ripped off a forum thread for an article about football myths. Good going.

Actually, I've never been to Shrewsbury. Almost did, once - some lads on my hall-of-residence football team at university were driving there for a game one Saturday and asked me along. But I couldn't be arsed. True story, that.

I've been to Shrewsbury once, for a Friday night match in the mid 90s or so. In a park there was a statue of Hercules which had suffered two indignities at the hands of local vandals: the slicing off of his cock and balls, and the spray painting over of the name Hercules on the plinth, replacing it instead with Colin.
After the match I and my mate went to a random pub. There was an old boy on the door who said, "Just you on your own, lads?" "Er... yeah." "Right you are, in you go," and there was a lock-in.

Interesting take in the Blackburn match report. Apparently the missile throwing exchange between the Shrewsbury keeper and the Blackburn fans was started by the keeper.
I wonder if the Northampton keeper started it in the next game as well.
Also it takes 2 pages before it starts talking about the match. I've noticed this in a few of the reports - more like Potted Club History of the Month.

Something about tactics, who's in the squad etc is interesting. Why are Shrewsbury above Blackburn in the table at that point, based on how they play? Do we really need to be told that Blackburn were doped to a Premier League title 23 years ago and the Venkys have been a disaster?

Please be patient, but what is the Kickaround and where can I find it? Anyone got a link? The only thing I can see on the interwebs is a podcast from Dallas. Now I know Shrewsbury are proud of their worldwide fan base but I can't see them on the cover of a Texas-based audio file.
