  • Welcome to Two Banks of Four

    Hello and welcome to Two Banks of Four, a student's eye on the world of football.

    This blog is a place of supposedly intelligent chat about the beautiful game and features articles on a wide variety of subjects. The blog offers not only opinion pieces on the latest football news, but also looks at young players in 'Here's Looking At Youth', provides anecdotal memoirs on away day trips in 'On The Road', reviews anything football related in 'RE:Viewed' and also inducts monthly entrants into it's very own Hall of Fame.

    While you're here, why not take a look around.

    Cheers,

    Ali @ TBo4
