Football isn’t serious.

It’s seriously interesting. It’s seriously powerful. It’s seriously significant socially, culturally and political. And it’s seriously fun.

But it’s not serious.

High Protein Beef Paste is a newsletter for people who love football for the right reasons.

If you get angry when you see a tweet praising another club, don’t subscribe.

If you believe there’s a refereeing conspiracy designed specifically to thwart yours, don’t subscribe.

If you think the fun side of football is about laughing like a hyena at lukewarm plagiarised “banter”, don’t subscribe.

Otherwise this might be just the newsletter for you.

Nice to meet you, Real Football Supporter.

I’ll be in your inbox for free every Tuesday. Paid subscribers will receive two additional weekly posts as well as some monthly features and occasional standalone bonus pieces. They’re good. Trust me.

I appreciate your support.
