Inter back to winning ways

Don’t believe everything you read on a message board

March 6, 2009

There was a sickening moment last year when a well known celebrity died and the 24-hour rolling news networks couldn’t make up their minds if he’d actually left this mortal coil or not. Reason being, they reported rumour before checking out the facts.

Attwell overshadows goal of the season

Reffin’ Ell

It’s been a while since my last UKFF article. Football has taken a back seat (“what” I hear you cry!!) over the past few months. I’m a busy chap these days and don’t see much footie on the TV. I get to my team’s home games and that is about it at the moment. However, last night, I had the pleasure of seeing Match of the [...]

Boro on a roll

I was unfortunately up north a few weeks back watching the Irons serve up their 2nd worse performance of the season in front of a 2/3rds full Reebok Stadium.

Championship manager changed my life

March 3, 2009

I am not going out; I am staying in…..Yeah all night!

First of all, it would probably be wise of me to point out that I am not an employee of Sega’s Football Manager, nor am I being paid hard cash in brown envelopes by dodgy looking blokes in black suits and cool shades.

But, it is true – it has got to be the best/worst game ever for an [...]

What’s wrong with the modern day footballer

Earning your respect

While the boos rang around Wembley Stadium back in the autumn, one could be forgiven for believing they were being directed at a team who had been struggling against a Kazakhstan side placed 131th in the world. As it was, the jeers were reserved for a solitary figure. Right or wrong, Ashley Cole was singled out amongst a squ [...]
