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 on the site sits in one of two buckets. Opinion Pieces is where we argue a case, such as the fan's take, the hot take, or the "here's what happens next." The Breakdown is where the piece is built around what actually happened on the pitch, told straight.
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.
