I've never done this and I've always wanted to: play the kingmaker and point you to some cool posts. While I have as much influence as an organ grinding monkey on the surface of Mercury, I would just like to take the time to give back to sites and posts that make me feel less ashamed about writing a football blog with no experience, expertise, or know-how (edit: not that any of these wonderful writers lack for any of these qualities -- I just mean they're bloggers and they make football blogging look really good -- AMSL PR).

• Jennifer Doyle ponders why women don't go out and hard-tackle in the park more often.
