What's In A Title?

Some Football League blogs like to devote their time to serious matters and the burning issues across the divisions.

However, we like to spend our time doing much less important things here at Soccer AM/MW - every Sheffield Wednesday fan's favourite site.

When not posting deliberately antagonistic articles though, we're busy spending hours coming up with highly original titles for pieces.

Especially our Nobes, who never misses an opportunity to slip a popular culture reference into them.

So, in response to various queries about the titles on the site, here's a guide to some that have appeared on Soccer AM/MW.
