We’ve had punters stake their claim for Manchester United, Liverpool and Leeds United so there are plenty of clubs still waiting for a guest columnist and we want it to be you, yes you, sitting there reading this post and thinking maybe you aren’t a good enough writer or don’t know enough fancy words.

We really don’t care.

We want passion, an insight into your club and it’s issues and we want it straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. Football fans are becoming the forgotten men and women of European football and at State of the Game we’re desperate to reverse that trend.

If you think your chairman is a c*nt, your manager is a t*at or your star striker couldn’t hit a cow’s a*se with a banjo, get in touch with us. We might have to temper your language a bit but we won’t restrict your passion for your club and the game.

That’s a promise.

I’m publicising this petition called Reclaim The Game which has been started to campaign for the elimination of cheating and a return to general levels of decency and fair play amongst the fat cats who run our game and play it at the highest level.

Reclaim The Game’s Manifesto: ” WE, the undersigned, strongly believe cheating within the game has now reached pandemic proportions.

We are currently at the stage where cheating has almost become ‘part of the game’ and gained widespread acceptance.

We represent a broad cross-section of football fans and we urge the domestic and international governing bodies to take the firmest action possible in arresting the decline of our national sport as a matter of the utmost urgency.

Football is guilty of setting the worst possible examples of behaviour to our children who look up to their footballing heroes and copy their behaviour wherever they play. This must stop.

We believe the pursuit of financial gain has deflected the focus away from fairplay and decency on and off the pitch and we suggest a raft of new punitive measures be implemented to correct the imbalance - measures stringent enough to dissuade further transgressions by players, managers, and coaches at all levels of the game.

The insidious practice of ‘tapping up’ or ‘unsettling’ players of other clubs needs to be stamped on as it completely undermines the ideas of fairplay and decency and, in that regard, managers and coaches have an extra degree of responsibility.

We further believe that financial penalties are largely meaningless to the biggest and richest of clubs and points deduction for those clubs found guilty of cheating is an option which must be seen to be used.

Individual players found guilty of cheating on the pitch should be named, shamed and fined, not up to a maximum of two weeks wages but perhaps up to 10 weeks, coupled with a one or two match ban. This would dissuade players from trying to gain unfair advantage during the game, knowing any such transgression would result in such penalties.

It is our firm belief that ultimately we all want the same thing. A cheat-free world game. A game free from diving, feigning injuries, mobbing referees, constantly appealing for throw-ins, freekicks, corners and penalties when it?s clear there should be no such award.

Perhaps only the two captains should be allowed to approach the referee at any time, as in Rugby Union.

We are encouraged by the overwhelming support from fans up and down the country for cheating to be stamped out of the game worldwide.

PLEASE LET US GRASP THIS OPPORTUNITY TO RECLAIM THE GAME FROM THE CHEATS WHO HAVE STOLEN IT FROM ALL OF US.

We will be sending this petition after the World Cup Final to Fifa, Uefa and The FA.”

We’re expanding on our guest columnist section and inviting readers and football fans from everywhere to apply to be State of the Game’s very own columnist on your own football club.

We only have room for one person per club so get your responses in quick and beat the rush. Over the last six months we’ve quickly grown to be a very well read, popular football blog and football article website and with the quality of submitted articles being so good we want to make sure more of you get a chance to get involved and spread the gospel of your own clubs, the highs and the lows, to as wide an audience as possible.

You’ll only be required to do at least one quick round-up per week (more if you want) and there is no limits to what you write on as long as it’s about your club.

Couldn’t be easier.

For a player already a little short on confidence after warming his club’s bench for a few games, it must be heartening to hear his national manager single him out as the only player under threat for his place in his country’s World Cup squad.

I’ve never believed that Sven Goran Eriksson was anything other than the football coach’s equivalent of the Emperor’s New Clothes and once again Sexy Svennis shows us all just how little he really knows about man-management and motivation, as if England’s often dire on-field performaces under him haven’t already shown us.

Sven picked Jermain Defoe out for the special kind of pick me up only a vote of no confidence can give and threatened Defoe with being left out of the World Cup squad because “if someone is injured or not playing many games and it stays that way, it doesn’t give me a chance to see whether they are in good shape or not.”

Jermain is obviously the only England squad regular suffering by sitting on the subs bench or from injury at the minute because if there had been others then surely Sven would have mentioned them. No mention of his golden boy Michael Owen who has been out with injury and will barely be match fit by the time the finals come around? Surely an oversight on Sven’s part. Maybe he’s forgotten the injury that sidelined his captain before the last World Cup when he insisted on still playing an obviously unfit David Beckham in Japan/South Korea and saw his World Cup dreams come crashing down around him.

Personally I can’t wait for Sven to be relieved of his job at the FA. His conniving, stealthy way of operating, his overreliance on his chosen group of Special Soldiers, his propensity to appear more in gossip columns than on the football pages and most of all his undeniable attempts to disrupt players at their clubs has grown wearisome and even an unlikely triumph in Germany this summer won’t make most football fans forget just how over-rated Eriksson has been.
