Punctuality? Over-rated

Posted on July 7, 2017 by Sophie

Better get this writ quick, as they say in Lesta. Well actually it’s just the ‘writ’ bit they say but you get the gist. You being very clever of course, have probably also sussed that this little linguistic ramble is … Continue reading →

‘Tis the season (ticket renewal)

Posted on June 3, 2017 by Sophie

It’s a wise football club that, after the odd kind of season Lesta City has just had, freezes its season ticket prices for long term season ticket holders and also says thank you via a postcard once you have done … Continue reading →

Say it with flowers

Posted on May 29, 2017 by Sophie

With the football season over, bar the Champions League final shouting, it’s a time for reflection and relocation of TLF time, largely in the direction of Mr TLF who has endured higher than average levels of abandonment during 2016/17 due … Continue reading →

The B words

Posted on May 20, 2017 by Sophie

It’s true, TLF has been ‘off grid’ , out of the loop’, ‘conspicuous by her absence’ and other such niceties. I could claim that the dog ate my blog(S) or I could just blame the three Bs: Birthday Busy Bad … Continue reading →

Mustn’t grumble

Posted on April 29, 2017 by Sophie

All good things come to an end and so it was for TLF as Athletico Madrid finally invoked my Article 50; out of Europe but most definitely not down. Apart from the fine manner of Lesta City’s European departure, (probably … Continue reading →

Dear Madrid,

Posted on April 17, 2017 by Sophie

Hola, That was some holiday romance. Brief? Yes. Hot? Most definitely. Bitter sweet? Of course. But forever memorable. You are of course stunningly beautiful, with your meandering streets, historic architecture and beautiful green spaces. You tempted me with your tapas … Continue reading →

?Hablas Espanol?

Posted on April 9, 2017 by Sophie

For TLF the trials and tribulations of Champions League football continue (don’t worry not daft enough to think that this is something I need to get used to). Another month and another European city looms on the horizon, there are … Continue reading →

“Now ’tis spring, and weeds are shallow-rooted; Suffer them now and they’ll o’ergrow the garden”

Posted on March 20, 2017 by Sophie

Manager of the Mighty Saints, Ian Allison, is clearly a man who likes to do his spring cleaning early. Don’t get me wrong, TLF likes a good vernal equinox tidy up, but tends to wait until Easter before hoovering and … Continue reading →

A brazen plug

Posted on March 12, 2017 by Sophie

No, not of the 13 amp variety, draped in something unseemly and making eyes at you. Nor indeed a shameless foreign two pronged specimen, with a saucy manner. No, this is simply TLF in begging mode….. I was hoping I … Continue reading →

What has the Roman ever done for us?

Posted on March 3, 2017 by Sophie

I’m starting to think that it wasn’t ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus’. That F and C were actually intended to give us ‘Monty Python’s Football Club’ and they were merely the silly pilot for the even more daft Lesta City FC. … Continue reading →
