DefenceSplit is an independent football blog built around one club, or one question, at a time, covering how it's owned, how it's coached, and how it actually plays. No wire-service recaps, no clickbait ratings. Just long-form pieces written by people who watch the games.
Every article carries tags near its title so you can see at a glance what it is: a Long form piece following a club or owner across seasons, an Analytics deep-dive into the numbers, an Opinion arguing a case, a Breakdown of what actually happened, or a Matchday analysis of a specific fixture.
Coverage leans Premier League-heavy, with standings in the sidebar updating through the season. There's also the occasional detour into the wider English pyramid and beyond.
