A Fitbawbags Guide to Fitba Literature # 7 – The Fifty Book Challenge- The Supplementary Cast
Now that I am home the challenge is over. Set the bar a bit too low at fifty as I manged over another half as many on top . Then again I was away for longer than I expected. I definitely excelled myself though. No doubt about it. Seventy six fitba books read in one …
Inane Ramblings of a Fitbawbag # 9 – 200 Days and The Corona Effect
You will have to excuse the obscenities, but two hundred days without a game is fucking ridiculous. Since 1991 when my fitba viewing career started this is easily the longest period without a game by a long shot.

The Inane Ramblings of a Fitbawbag # 8 – Voetball, van der Ark and Vitesse.

A Fitbawbags Guide to Fitba Literature # 6 – The Fifty Book Challenge Part 2
Part deux. Offshore for these so the rate of churning out book after book slowed somewhat. Averaging more or less five a week, the target was still more than achieveable. More of the real books I had humphed to Africa were on the cards as the kindle is out of action when out in the …

The Fitbawbag Seen In The Flesh Dons Greatest XI
I have always wondered what my Dons best XI would be like but I have never really put a conscious effort into jotting it down. I have always had favourites that would habitually make the final cut, but never a full eleven. For the time being I have no random fitba to write about so …

A Fitbawbags Guide to Fitba Literature # 5 – The Fifty Book Challenge Part 1
With heading away to Angola and being stuck there for the foreseeable I decided to set myself a fifty fitba book challenge. After realising I read forty-one books(all subjects) while in lockdown at home between March 20th and June 8th, I decided to set this target. I do love fitba and reading after all. With …
