FOOTBALL DIDN'T START IN 1992
...mas que un blog

About us

This website is a labour of love. As will be obvious, this is not a professional site, it’s not especially attractive and it doesn’t have the backing of a massive media organisation (or, indeed, any type of organisation).  It’s been designed and developed in the home of a real football fan and is devoted to football, to the Premier League and to all other things concerned with the beautiful game.

But it also tries to remember that football did not start with the introduction of the Premier League in 1992.  So much punditry relies upon references to Premier League records or previous achievements in the Premier League as if all that went before it is irrelevant.  It’s probably mainly as a result of lazy journalism but it results in broad ignorance of pre-1992 football.

We realise that this is only going to get worse as more seasons of Premier League football pass but here is a small part of the web where not only will there be up to date analysis of today’s Premier League but will also remember the players, the teams, the glories and the failures of the past.

In addition to providing comment and features, we’re going to try and provide as comprehensive a list of to-flight records as we can.  If there are any questions that you’ve always wondered about (and haven’t been answered in the Guardian’s excellent The Knowledge column) why not email us at [----] and we’ll see what we can do.

We’re also happy to have our mistakes corrected; we want this to be as comprehensive a site about football as it can be so we’re not too proud to put things right. If you see any errors, be they glaring or subtle, just let us know.
