Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don’t like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

Our Story
Thick Accent is an independent digital sports media publisher covering the stories that football fans are talking about. Since its launch In 2011, the website has focused on the culture surrounding the world’s biggest sport
Our Name
The name comes from Liverpool FC. Being a Liverpool fan meant hearing Scouse for the first time, a dialect with its own pronunciation rules, rhythm, and intonation, so distinct that it stands apart from standard English at first listen. That’s where “thick” came from: an accent so pronounced you can’t mistake it for anything else.
We wanted our content to work the same way. Football media all starts to sound the same after a while. Thick Accent is our attempt to sound like something else entirely, a publication with its own rhythm and point of view, as unmistakable as a Scouse accent in a room full of neutral ones.
Our Mission
We tell football stories the way fans actually talk about them: fast, visual, and tuned into whatever’s spreading beyond the stadium that day. That means match coverage, but just as much it means kit leaks, boot deals, celebrity crossovers, and the viral clips that shape how football lives online.
Where We’re Based
Thick Accent is headquartered in Guwahati, Assam, India, with writers and contributors based across the country, serving a global audience of football supporters.
About the Publisher
Thick Accent is edited and published by Surjit Patowary.
