The Football Blog

Ray Winstone is everybody’s favourite actor, geezer and football nut and we here at Catflap have got our hands on three signed copies of his new DVD “Football Blinders and Blunders” to give away to three of our lucky readers.

The DVD features the best and the worst football has to offer from the slickest of free-kicks, blinding goals, the most ludicrous of goal-keeping gaffes, the nightmare misses and moments of pure magic. Presented by the big man himself, in his no-nonsense style, this is certainly to be the pick of this years football howlers DVD.

Our box of Football Manager 2009 arrives...

Would you look at that, it's just beautiful isn't it? But if you can look past Production Editor Mark Brown's double-jointed thumb, you'll see that we've just this morning received the ten copies of the spanking new Football Manager 2009. We've played the game, (our own review copy, before the authorities start asking), and although we're clearly rubbish (played four, lost four as QPR manager), the game itself is awesome, bringing back memories of long nights and missed morning Uni lectures.

Please note, Mark Brown's thumb is not up for grabs...
