Founded in September 2005 as a means to get some fresh new football views and opinions onto the internet, State of the Game has grown quickly to establish it self as one of the foremost independent football websites covering the British game and stretching further afield to European football coverage and the international game.

Our team of dedicated writers and columnists are all die hard football fans with their own special opinions and prejudices which makes for highly entertaining, and always thought provoking, articles and discussion on the world’s favourite sport.

State of the Game continues to strive to push the boundaries of football writing and discussion on the internet and beyond and while I’m in charge, it always will.
