Fab knows Rome wasn’t built in a day

March 27, 2008

A quick look at last nights shambles…or was it?

Let’s get the Becks road show out of the way first. 100 caps, well done commendable, can we forget about it now, all it’s been in the red top tabloids in last 3 internationals is Becks this becks that, (no change there then). Your display last night, was average at best. [...]

Rio captains England

March 25, 2008

Rio is just Fab!

So Fabio has just named Rio Ferdinand as the captain of England for the game against France. Whether this means that he is now Capello’s full time captain no-one knows, but I for one hope he is. Once again the Italian has made a correct decision.

For me, Rio is the only choice for this vital role. If you look at the England [...]

Teflons weekly rant

If you watched the whole of ‘Grand Slam Sunday’ on your couch with a beer you obviously have no life, or your Sunday League game was cancelled because a snowflake fell and it is now officially ‘Hazardous’ to play in snow because you might get a little chilly. So being left all alone for the weekend as the wife took a long tre [...]

Ronaldo needs to be playing in La Liga

Cristiano Ronaldo’s headed goal against Liverpool this weekend was his 34th of the season and his 25th in the league. He has managed to score against every team in the premiership apart from Manchester City, against whom he was suspended, Chelsea and Middlesbrough. He faces the latter two teams in the sea [...]

Give Beckham his 100th cap then move on

March 22, 2008

Lets end this media circus for good

So the David Beckham road show takes it’s final drive. There is no denying Sir David of Beckenham Palace has been an inspiration to us all, a perfect roll model, a perfect dad, blah blah blah, we know this already.

Lets just give him his 100th cap and move on, a 10 minute cameo would suffice, there is no ro [...]

Premier League Predictions

March 20, 2008

Aston Villa v Sunderland

Villa could do with a scrappy doo win, anything but 3 points will do. The Black Cats are almost as bad as Trumpton & Derby on the road, I can’t see anything but a Villa revival here.

Prediction 4-1 [...]

The Prawns have stolen our game

Watching a football game has never been harder in my opinion, this morning Arsenal Vs Reading tickets went on sale to Red members, which I shall state, now is the lowest membership level for the Arsenal football team. The Membership scheme is as follows, Platinum (Corporate), Gold (Season Ticket Holders), Silver ( [...]

Why Defoe should be Fab’s main man

March 19, 2008

Is this the end for Boy Wonder?

Like my sex life, it’s been a while but I’m back this week to run over the question on every Englishman’s lips, no, not when will Dexy finally get a shag or will Becks get his 100th cap, but the issue according to St Michael. With the 3 Lions facing 11 frogs next week, will Fabio again ignore Owen and leave hi [...]

Arsenal in need of inspiration

March 16, 2008

Why the Gunners have lost their bottle

This weekend saw the title race take yet another turn in Manchester United and, indeed, Chelsea’s direction. Another stumble by Arsenal has seen them overtaken by United, while Chelsea are now within striking distance. There is an air of inevitability to it all at the moment with the most worrying thing f [...]

Arsenal don’t do defeats, but if they did it would probably be to a crap team like Middlesbrough? Boro are once again looking to cement a top 17 finish.

Prediction 1-0

Poor quality pitches? Blame Emile Heskey!

March 10, 2008

It’s a mud bath

Last night I sat down after my big Sunday roast, nursing an injury I picked up that morning while playing for my local town, sipping away a pint of beer while watching the Wigan v Arsenal game on TV.

It started badly as Steve Bruce said live on TV ‘We are embarrassed about the pitch, it simply is unacceptable!’ Well that was t [...]

FA cup – The romance is back

March 10, 2008

The year of the underdog

Anyone who knows me will tell you that it isn’t often that I admit I was wrong. And it’s even less often that I am delighted to do so. But after the weekend just gone, I am over the moon to be able to hold my hands up and say that I got it wrong in my last piece! For the first time since 1995 the FA Cup will be won b [...]
