The man himself.
Welcome to Clarkeonenil, a splattering of blithers and pontification from a South West London based Leeds United fan and selected guests.
Some of you will have roamed the wide plains of football related forums, what some Leeds fans call the Squmotaccoes of this word, where conjecture, emotional overplay, logical paucity and plain old fashioned idiocy rule the roust. Hidden somewhere in its history lived a short-term (but I like to think groundbreaking) initiative called “The Weekly Grump”. The Grump, which reached its nadir as the Blackwell era descended into its inevitable car crash, was predominately Leeds United biased but did extend around the other edges of English football. Evolution brought me and my attitude to where the idea to blog was formed.
Deliberately individual in style, bordering some said on narcissistic, the one thing the Grump/Blithers could never be was consensual, no sitting on the fence. It’s a good question as to whether blogland needs such a provocateur site within its calm, measured bowl, and it’s a very valid question, well the good news is that Clarkeonenil won’t just be a critique of all things Leeds United, it will also be a critique of all things football. With my extensive knowledge of the moral degeneracy that is my football team it will obviously feature in large parts but to be honest I doubt the future of all our sanity if we only had Leeds United to worry about. Football is a special game but it can be so idiotic sometimes, it needs a bit of grit now and then and Clarkeonenil certainly intends to supply some of that.
A few housekeeping things to note, if you have problems with my opinions, tough don’t read, if you feel the need to comment on grammar and spelling, piss off and get a life, should you worry about my psychological state, email/private message me, I listen better when its off-line. I’m not a democracy, if your comment adds something life’s rich tapestry I’ll leave it on the site but if it is just a rant or invective it’s got no chance (genuine free thinking on football is as rare as rocking horse droppings so if you can produce that get in touch, you’ll be treasured). What I want to do, in this age of UHT opinions and over delicate ego’s, is say it like it is and say it again so it wasn’t missed. So that is where we are, no frills, no tempering, no compromise, just insights and opinions, blithered up into a social media environment. Suit yourself whether you enjoy or not.
Oh and all the opinions in all the posts are just that – ‘opinion’ They do not necessarily contain any fact so cannot be libelous or defamatory. So don’t bother suing me or this website.
