Six games. Six consequences.

Cup drama.
Promotion pressure.
Derby dealings.

And in Florence... A reminder that football occasionally produces dross. πŸ₯±

Football always finds new ways to turn the page.

HFR Friday 6 ⚽

Six matches worth slowing down for this weekend β€” derby madness, title pressure, promotion belief and a proper calcio battle in Rome.

We built this magazine with no clue what we were doing.

Just a love for football and a belief that stories mattered.

We found a folder of old Hopeless Football Romantic photos this week.

Magazines on living room floors.
Stacks of envelopes ready to ship.
Badges. Stickers. Coffee shop planning sessions.

We'd almost forgotten how much of our lives went into this.

Hopeless Football Romantic is back!

Years ago we built a football magazine, podcast and a community.

Life got busy. The project paused.

But the love for football never left!

We're building again. Bigger.

If football has meant more to you than a scoreline, you're us.

Reading @markcarruthers.bsky.social post that NUFC, this season, have been drawn against 6 PL clubs in 7 domestic cup ties. We won a cup last season after being drawn against 5 PL clubs in 6 ties. All I can say is, Howay the Lads.

3-0 for the Toon v Ful Ham.

2 for Wolt
1 for Gordon

Or.. failing that, 3 for Barnes from the bench.

Thank you.
