Chelsea embarrassed a nation

The Premier League is not that great

I remember the first time the ball was put in to touch to allow treatment to an injured player, it wasn’t that long ago, a world cup game if I recall correctly. I had a lump in my throat when the ball was given back to the team that put it out, at this display of sportsmanship gracing the beautiful game. It h [...]

But who is number one?

No matter who they support, many football fans believe that their team is the pride of their area. Pride is not only about success, but also about reputation and respect for the team and their supporters. With Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough in the Premier League, there is always going to be debate about just who i [...]

Is La Liga the new SPL?

April 29, 2009

Los dos grandes

If you have a look at the current La Liga table, you’ll find that there are only two teams who have a chance of winning the coveted title- Barca and Real Madrid. Although you’d be forgiven for thinking this is predictable, these two giants of Spanish football haven’t always enjoyed quite this degree of domination for some years, [...]

PFA Manager/ Player of the year

April 28, 2009

No time for sentiments

I’m sure that whatever manager delivers the Premier League this season to their respective club will be made manager of the year for this season. Obviously it will only be Sir Alex Ferguson or Rafa Benitez who has a real chance, as Gus Hiddink has not had the time to establish himself or his ideas on Chelsea or the Premier [...]

The Ultimate 11’s – Liverpool

April 27, 2009

This week total muppet is Bits n Bobs Ray from London. Now Mr Bob probably had the best squad of all time to choose from yet has somehow managed to select 3 center backs with their all time top scorer sitting on the bench. The term square pegs round holes springs to mind. [...]

Rare defeat for Inter

By Glezos Alberganti, La Settimana Sportiva

very different. Mourinho’s boys went to Naples tired after last wednesday’s
Coppa Italia semifinal (which Inter won 1-0, but it was Sampdoria who
reached the final thanks to their astounding 3-0 win in [...]

Who is the most over rated player in the Premier League?

April 24, 2009

Carloz Tevez

What is the difference between Carlos Tevez and Dirk Kuyt? The only answer I can see is public ridicule. It certainly isn’t talent or ability. While Liverpool’s Dutchman is widely ridiculed for being nothing more than a willing worker who lacks any sort of co-ordination or natural ability, Tevez is lauded as a world class talent [...]

Roy Keane and The Tractor Boys

April 23, 2009

Out of the Blue

Roy Keane and Ipswich eh? Now there’s a pairing I didn’t see coming. It was a strange time to get rid of a manager in the first place. I can’t think of many managers that have lost their job two games from the end of the season and coming off the back of a thrilling win over your local rivals. I know the Town board and loca [...]

Why can’t English teams defend?

April 23, 2009

I hate that I do!

The first thing that sprang to mind after watching the Liverpool v Arsenal game the other night was how appalling the defending was. Call that entertainment, I call it a bloody disgrace. Arsenal are not known for their defensive qualities but Liverpool should know better. They are supposed to be a side challenging for the Premi [...]

Best Premier League game of the season

Yet another game of glorious football was dished up by the Premier League’s finest as Liverpool swapped goals with Arsenal in an enthralling 4-4 draw at Anfield last night.

Following the Geordies

April 22, 2009

Newcastle’s fate awaits Being a Newcastle United fan is certainly a roller coaster experience, from the more successful days with Sir Bobby Robson and Kevin Keegan, to becoming the laughing stock of the football world. Newcastle’s certainly a unique club, and the reasons for supporting them could only be understood by the Geordies. Since Ke [...]
