Studs Up http://www.studs-up.com Studs Up satirises the rather insane world of football fandom, folly and of course the sport itself. Studs Up is written and drawn by Chris Toy.

It’s similar to using a wall in an indoor match, except exponentially more difficult. You will try it. You will fail. You will be laughed at by your mates.

The fine folks at PC Games have given me a copy of Football Manager 2009 to give away to a lucky reader. They actually asked me to do the competition earlier this season, but I thought it best to leave some time for certain clubs to do terribly and thus leaving their fans searching an alternate reality.

The game is immense, as my 6 hours played yesterday will attest, and to win it is even easier. All you have to do is subscribe to Studs Up by email (enter your address in the box at the top right of the website) and I will pick one lucky winner at random on Friday, January 9, 2009 from those who signed up.

Simple as! Good luck.

Chris

Happy New Year and all that, although resolution #1 was horrifically violated at approximately 12:08am on Jan 1, 2009. I shall spare you the details.

He also puts together nifty videos and if you’ve been wondering whether that thug Pogatetz really did throttle poor ol’ C-Ron, there’s just take a quick gander at this.

Thanks for reading Studs Up these past few months. I’ve got some big plans for the site in 2009 and I hope you do for your own life as well, the economy is going to be fucking awful but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun.

Well…ok yeah it probably does, but still…

Wuwu!

You guys sent in loads of great entries, some of which I intend to use in the near future, but Craig’s was simple and succinctly captured the silliness of the Ronaldo saga.

More to come, and I think in the New Year I will make the RCC a weekly staple since people seemed to enjoy it greatly. Also anyone who thinks John Terry shouldn’t have been sent off should be left on a desert island with Joey Barton.
