Frequently Asked Questions
These are the questions readers send us most often about how football actually works, from rules to tactics to how competitions are organized.
Where does your match data actually come from?
We use official competition data feeds for things like passes, distances and possession, and we cross-check anything unusual against full match footage before it goes into an article.
How often do you publish new articles?
We aim to publish around every matchday during the season, with a lighter schedule in the off-season. The newsletter goes out on a fixed day so you know when to expect it.
What happens if you get a fact wrong?
If a reader flags an error, we check it against the original source and, if it needs fixing, we correct it within 30 days and note the change openly rather than editing it quietly.
How do I know a writer really has the football background you describe?
Every contributor's byline links to a short profile listing their playing, coaching or writing background, and we are happy to answer direct questions about anyone's experience if asked.
Still have questions?
We reply to reader questions within a few days through the contact form, and popular ones often become new articles.
