AFLM:SPG issue four will be on sale once again before FC United’s home match at Stalybridge Celtic against Matlock Town on Sunday. Confused? Don’t be…
The reds can’t play at Gigg Lane on Saturday because Bury are, so alternative accommodation was needed. The fixture computer used by the glue company who sponsor the Northern Premier League is unable to work out how to keep those sharing grounds on separate dates for home matches. It’s rocket science.
Staly were very nice to us and agreed to be hosts, but they are playing Saturday, so unfortch, FC will have to play on a Sunday. It will still be a 3pm kick off. (offish info: http://fc-utd.co.uk/story.php?story_id=3070)
One of the lazy gets attached to this publication will be selling it somewhere outside the ground, and probably inside too, before and after the match. So it’s guaranteed to lag it down.
We’re working on distribution away from match days – we are hoping AFL will soon have a presence in several city centre locations and we will confirm when one of our lazy gets sorts it for defo. In the meantime, some copies are available from the Working Class Movement Library at 51, The Crescent, Salford, M5 4WX, by asking for Lynette. Call Lynette on 0161 736 3601 to make sure. You will like her, she’s very nice.
As for the leccy lung – some clever computer geek hijacked us and made google prevent people from visiting us. There is a more technical explanation but it’s rocket science again. It may have been as a result of one of our contributor’s addiction to pornography, or maybe not. Therefore people may have been prevented from reading the fuck all we’ve written in the last three days. We are assured that everything is now fine, so don’t be afraid – come and see us. We won’t (mega) bite…
We won’t mention chimneys, because we’ve got a hole in our tin hat and it needs repairing. We’re hoping to get a print edition out in the smoking embers of October, so wait for then you inpatient bastards…

Below this article is a piece that was written into the world on August 16th 2008. It came in the first ever issue of A fine lung. It was a statement of loving intent.

The quest for home is on. That talking chimley breast in our own club house of our own home in our own city will one day become a reality.
Amidst a dedication to looking out for local news stories about divvy blues, bizarre quotes from people linked to the doomed-to-fail green and gold campaign and the odd commentary on popular culture, A Fine Lung …
No commentary is needed on this story about Derek the Hyde backward, as featured in the increasingly pathetic Chadderton Evening News. Just look at the picture (in glorious full length below). Enjoy his bottom ends …
Season’s greetings to you all. Ring out the bells, ring out the bells, Course You Can Malcolm enters its fourth year on August the 28th against Stretford United. Four years? Crikius Crumbius Maximus, that’s a …

If anyone was wondering whether the green and gold campaign could continue after so many people renewed their season tickets and bought their new AON shirts, then fear not cos those crackpot militants of MUST are reading the riot act once again (ps legal person – that is not a suggestion that anyone should perform any acts of violence). Here’s what they’re telling their 9,000,000 partizan members:
The urban dictionary is a decent site – if you ever get a few minutes and want to get with the hip young generation and find out what ‘macca’ and other modern youth terms mean, …
It was quite a scene, as members of the public and frantic railway staff all tried to prise the Hurricane’s arm from the train door. He was on the way back from Blackpool to meet his pals in Didsbury, so he told me after the drama unfolded.
We say goodbye to West Belfast and head towards the ring road and the East. We’re pushed for time now so I sense we’re going to have to try and take stuff in pretty quickly. …
Before setting off for Belfast there had been worrying coverage of riots throughout the city following the previous week’s July 12th ‘celebrations’. My concerns may have been greater and far more selfish in origin had …
Turning left off Springfield Road, we head South East down Whiterock Road, which joins the well-known Nationalist Falls Road. There’s a graveyard on our right which, our driver says, is a Protestant cemetery, one of …
Leaving Lower Shankill again, we head up Crumlin Road and past an army barracks on the right. Girdwood Army Barracks, once largest outside the mainland UK, is the base from which the British Army attempted …
There are few more fascinating cities on the planet than Belfast and because it’s just a forty minute, budget flight from Manchester, our pre-season friendly there in July was an easy opportunity for Reds to get over and find this out for themselves.
FC United travel to Belfast this weekend to take on Ireland’s oldest club Cliftonville. The match will take place at Donegal Celtic’s ground.
All you have to do is look and listen out for the tiresome shite served up by the great British public and media in the build up to the match and award yourself EINEN PUNKT for each one you spot. I know you all only read The Guardian but make the effort, have a look in WH Smiths or something.
So, another shock result last night in Group C, when, after their draw with the mighty US of A, plucky England fought their way to a draw against the ever dangerous Desert Rats from Algeria. …
This World Cup’s exciting, isn’t it? Is it balls, it’s shite so far. The best thing has been the hitherto unknown antics of various music heads in South Africa, which A Fine Lung can now exclusively reveal.

Chorlton gets a bad press from many who throw clichés at you about vegetarians and lesbians and bicycle lanes and tofu, but it also has some decent boozers, good transport links, independent shops, The Barbikan and on its doorstep is a lovely nature reserve.
There are also a couple of festivals each year – the Beech Road festival in July and recently the Chorlton Arts Festival, which I sampled during my final day of a week of doing something different every day, in my desperate attempt to stave off the boredom of not working.
The Tory toff has been rambling on today about the new media buzz phrase ‘debt crisis’, but when you read past all that old rubbish you will see a piece on the BBC’s website about the seriousness of the Glazer’s debt-ridden ownership of Manchester United Football Club.

1983. The Redskins – a thrilling mixture of the twin peaks of protest music, punk and soul – release their second single, Lean On Me, on CNT Records. It announced their arrival in magnificent fashion, bringing revolutionary socialism to the dance floor.
Uncut is not the best monthly music magazine by any means, but it isn’t the worst. I started buying it in around 2000/2001, on the recommendation of a mate and because it had a free …
