In this weeks’ episode we look back on the Scottish Cup, talk about what we’ve been up to during the last year, and disclose how to waste £14. Paul puts us through our paces in the quiz; can you name every club to have won a trophy by most successful? Can John?! Give it a…
It’s been a solid year since the lads here at Sofa Manager last hit the keyboards and the airwaves. Between the lockdown and the utter, utter shambles that proceeded we took the decision to take a step back and let this whole thing blow over – if only there’d been a pub open! But with…
This weekend is an ever so slight step-up from last weeks’ trip to Welling United in the National League South. This weekend I had the pleasure of heading to my first ever FA Cup 4th round tie, and my second outing to the London Stadium where Premier League West Ham hosted Championship West Brom. Although…
Welcome to another instalment of Sofa Manager On Tour! Although this is becoming more Sofa Manager in London…but there’s so many stadiums, at so many different levels, that it’s honestly baffling how anyone can get round them all. However, I’ve been using the Futbology App to keep loose tabs on where I’ve been and what’s…
New year, same rejuvenated me…or at least for a couple more weeks anyway. It’s the time of the year where most of us make some loose obligation to improve ourselves or to acheive something; usually far flung and completely unachievable like ‘go for a jog‘, ‘eat a salad(!?)‘, ‘don’t f*cking swear so much!‘, that kind…

Exams are over!!! Well for the semester at least; but at long, long last my evenings no longer include calculating the Net Present Value of a project nor learning the inner workings of the WTO. Instead, you now have my whole and undivided attention and to celebrate? a jaunt down the M6 to Wigan to…
Falkirk away to St. Mirren or a city-break to Berlin to watch Hertha in the Olympiastadion. Tough choice that! Yes it’s time for the main event, the one I’m sure you’ve all been desperately waiting to read about. Over the weekend I traveled to the German capital for my first taste of the Bundesliga as…
Sofa Managers very own JayBee (that’s me!) is on his holidays to Berlin to experience the sights and sounds of Germany’s historic capital and to behold the Olympiastadion as Hertha Berlin take on Hamburger SV. I’m a strange character, I’m not a huge fan of doing touristy things and I detest museums. I have the…
If you managed to grab a listen to this weeks Sofa Manager Podcast you’ll have heard that I (John) have booked himself a wee trip to Berlin to take in the sites and sounds of the German capital – but mainly for the football. Actually only really for the football. There’s many a reason for…
