Blatters proposal is a winner

May 30, 2008

6+5 makes a lot of sense

Not since he suggested that women players turn out in hot pants has Sepp Blatter made so much sense. The 6 + 5 rule is what British football has been crying out for, and we should all pull out the prayer mats and pray to the EU that they see sense and allow it to happen. [...]

Uninspiring England labour to victory

May 28, 2008

England 2 U.S. and A 0

Rubbish first half. Mildly better second half. Another insipid England performance lacking in invention and spark. The most worrying and annoying thing is that as soon as Capello announced his team, it was obvious that this was to be the outcome. Why Capello did not use this friendly as an excuse to give his “fringe” p [...]

Tears of a clown

Hands up if you feel sorry for JT?

Last week saw the first Champions League Final contested by two English clubs. As a neutral, I really enjoyed the game. The equivalent of an all action Premier League game on the biggest stage of all. Platini and the rest of his UEFA chums silently despairing that two ‘orrible English teams can contest the bi [...]

Who comes up, who stays?

So it’s almost the end of the season and thanks to McClown, the summers highlights for half the Premiership players are getting a new whistle for Rooney’s wedding followed by a week in roasting Marbella while the remaining half are preparing for Euro 08, cheers Steven you charisma-shy twat. Any-way, before then, the [...]

Le Sulk up to his old tricks!

May 23, 2008

The ego has landed, once again

Reports are coming out of Chelski that Nicolars Anelka rejected the chance to take the potentially-winning fifth penalty – which was hilariously missed by John Terry – because he was sulking at coming on as a late substitute. [...]

Portsmouth

What a day for Harry and his boys, Pompey became the first club outside the big 4 (yawn) to win a cup*. A hard fought 1-0 scrappy win over Cardiff was enough to ensure they will be playing in Europe next season. What a turn a round, 2 seasons ago they were almost relegated. *Sorry, Spurs fans, the Mickey cup doesn’t really [...]

FA Cup final preview

May 15, 2008

Cardiff vs Portsmouth

Normally the rules of summer are that the first day we are supposed to get a proper bit of sunshine is FA Cup Final day. But not this year, oh no, the rules have changed. The sun has been and gone for another year and the rules appear to have changed also for the cup itself as for the first time in 17 years we have a cup fi [...]

Relegation – The last day tears

The Sky Sports shots of teary eyed youngsters cuddling up to daddy with the prospect of their heroes having to battle it out in the Championship next season, the thought of no opportunity to take on the big boys next season. It’s enough to make a grown man cry. [...]

Ryan Giggs

Giggys helped Manchester United to secure their 10th Premier league title with a hard fought and somewhat fortuitous 2-0 win at the JJB. He notched up a record equaling 758 appearances scoring his 3rd goal of the season and arguably the most important in the process. The man is a true legend. Many can deny that United are w [...]
