Welcome aboard Kwaitoball
Our very own Mr Twofootedtackle Chris Nee is so excited about the forthcoming shenanigans in South Africa that he has launched a new World Cup blog.
It's called Kwaitoball and was launched yesterday amidst a huge media fanfare (he plugged it on Twitter and we retweeted it).
Anyhoo, why don't you get yourself over there now and feel free to congratulate/poor scorn on his efforts in person when you come along to Socrates next Wednesday.
What's that? You're not coming to Socrates? You are now. E-mail socrates[at]the-onion-bag[dot]com.
A warm welcome plus booze, food and football awaits you courtesy of our generous sponsor Football3s.

Socrates - What a night
This is just a flavour of the first Socrates last night, Wednesday 9th September. Everyone had a great time and we're grateful to all those bloggers who came along.
The pretty much unanimous feeling was that we should do another one soon. So we're chatting with Noam at Football3s with a view to setting one up for December. More details to follow.

Socrates - World Cup Fever
The timing for our football bloggers meet up couldn't be better. The first football bloggers meet up coincides with the World Cup Qualifiers. What better way to watch an England match than in the company of like minded footy folk? (unless you're not English of course).Our sponsors Football3s will, no doubt, have one of the games on and there will be a chance to have a go on their real time fantasy game.
We are looking to open the doors at 7pm . Someone should be at the door for a little while to greet people and direct them to the bar.
In the meantime, please feel free to promote Socrates. Wear the badge with pride! Also, don't forget to link the Socrates blog to your own site.
12 Days until the finest minds in the Football blogosphere assemble. Want to join us? E-mail socrates[at]the-onion-bag[dot]com.

Socrates is coming
Socrates is a Football blogger meet up in London.
Why Socrates?
It's an opportunity for bloggers who are passionate about the beautiful game to get together, swap stories, share experiences, pass on tips and advice. Alternatively, in the event that we all end up hating each other, watch a game of football in stony uncomfortable silence.
No I understand that you plank! I meant why the name Socrates?
Oh, sorry. Well the idea was inspired by the Tuttle Club which is named after a character from the film Brazil so we thought that a name of a Brazilian footballer would be appropriate. Socrates seemed an obvious choice.
Who the Hell do you think you are?
I'm Terry Duffelen, editor of The Onion Bag who have be delivering a weekly dose of football satire into the RSS feeds of the discerning reader for over six years.
Chris Nee is the top man at the Two Footed Tackle blog and podcast. By serving the football community he is hoping to gain access to paradise despite being a PR by day.
Graham Sibley runs Fantasy Football Agent and is a writer and developer on The Onion Bag. He keeps the back end clean (phnarr).
Chris Oakley is the guy from Some People Are On The Pitch. He has been described as one of the Blogosphere's leading footballing academics by people who don't know him that well.
Gary Andrews is a Football writer and host of the Two Footed Tackle Podcast.
So I have to have a football blog to attend then?
Well you might be a blogger who is into football but doesn't blog about it that much or you could be a football journalist but yeah, the idea is for football bloggers to network.
When is it on?
The first meet up is confirmed for 9th September in the heart of swinging London and will be sponsored by Football3s who are very kindly laying on the venue plus some drinks and grub (there will be no actual swinging). Venue details are below.
If you want to attend please e-mail socrates[at]the-onion-bag[dot]com
