Football365

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Football365.com, or simply F365, is a website owned by 365 Media Group that primarily covers the English Premiership, as well as other European leagues and cups. It attempts to take an informal and humorous approach to dealing with the latest football news and often includes running jokes about certain individuals connected with the sport, such as Jermaine Jenas and Frank Lampard[1]. Unfortunately the website regularly misses the irony of its criticism of most footballers as unworthy idols.

The site was founded in 1997 by journalist Danny Kelly, along with Dan Thompson (founder of computer game company Renegade Software) and Simon Morris, a former Marketing Director of BSkyB.[1] In 1999, the height of the dot-com bubble, the sites' parent company 365 Group floated on the London Stock Exchange, peaking at a value of £500 million shortly after launch. [2].


The current regular features of the website are:

  • F365 Mailbox: A twice-daily collection of the best e-mails sent in by readers on current footballing matters. These 'letters' vary from one-line statements to medium-sized essays.
  • Mediawatch: A satirical daily review of recent stories and articles from various national newspapers and football websites. Features of Mediawatch include 'Quote of the day', 'Headline of the day' and 'Non-football story of the day'.
  • F365 Features: Features on current or former football clubs or individuals, such as players, managers and TV pundits; reviews of individual football matches or competitions.
  • Cunnyflaps: A quirky look at famous cunnies from around the hairy crotch region.
  • F365 Opinion: Writers and contributors to the website give their opinions on recent footballing news or events, including Sky Sports pundit Andy Gray and John Nicholson. An interview with Nicholson about his column at Football365 is available for download from the EPL Talk Podcast at http://epltalk.libsyn.com

As of November 2006, Alexa's traffic ranking of Football365.com was 3,374 [2].
