As the title suggests this book follows a season of football in Sussex, from League side Brighton, through Crawley and Lewes in the conference, all the way down to sides such as Little Common, in the Sussex County League division 3 (step 7 of non-league). It charts the Sussex clubs' fortunes month by month, including their cup exploits, accompanied by dozens of colour photos from various aspects.

A Season of Sussex Soccer is an easy read, with the summaries being objective, factual and concise. The general format of the book is a two page written summary of the month proceeded by about 10 to 12 full page photos, with clear and detailed captions. The photos are the stars of the book and could justify the book in themselves, making a great coffee table read for connoisseurs of football photography. The pictures are crisp and give a real sense of the passion for the game at all levels.

If you're looking for a big picture snapshot of English football history it can be found in Bill Turianski's latest contribution. Taking a break from the maps he usually does he's put together a chart recording the total major trophies won by English football clubs. An image of each club's kit is displayed (sized proportional to the number of titles won) and ranked left to right in order. The titles in question - the Premier League, the old Football League First Division, FA Cup and League Cup as well as the international trophies on offer - European Cup/Champions League, Fairs Cup/UEFA Cup and the old European Cup Winners' Cup. He's even thrown together kit images for some of the game's Victorian vanguards, Wanderers and Old Etonians.

Thrasivoulos (sometimes spelled Thrasyvoulos) take their inspiration from an Ancient Greek military hero of the same name. Thrasivoulos was an Athenian leader who successfully led the military recovery of Athens against Sparta in a series of battles in the 5th and 4th centuries BC. The general used the town of Fylis as his base of operations when he fought against the "Thirty Tyrants" government of Spartan leader Lysander. We shall see if the football club succeed against equally potent opponents in this season's Greek Super League, where Thrasivoulos make their debut.

Hello all. I've disabled the comments section for now. Something was going wrong on the backend that I can't figure out, it would time out every time someone tried to leave a comment. Still trying to figure that one out and hope to have it back up soon. But for now - no comments.

The past month has been the most turbulent since the website www.footballeconomy.com started some ten years ago.   There has been considerable speculation about the impact of the economic tsunami on football, much of it somewhat exaggerated.   It is not the end of football as we have come to know it, but there are also going to be some changes.   In this article I try to draw some of the strands together, focusing on the following themes:

• The future of the Premiership model
• The future of foreign ownership
• The likelihood of greater regulation
• The impact on lower league and non-league clubs
