Soulless West Ham must rediscover thirst for fading tradition

August 29, 2010

Many a wise man in football circles have taken out a subscription to the theory that consistency often plays a pivotal role in the achievement of success. One such passionate subscriber, Professor Alan Nevill of the University of Wolverhampton, even took the trouble to publish an academic study on the subject. World Cup runner-up and [...]

What a difference a year makes…

August 28, 2010

Tottenham Hotspur Vs Wigan Athletic Few would forget the quite unbelievable scene last season at White Hart Lane when Wigan Athletic visited the Lilywhites in North London and found themselves at the wrong end of a 9-1 score-line. With Wigan’s terrible start to this campaign, the worst since the inception of the Premier League back [...]

Bebe’s having teething problems at United

August 27, 2010

Two weeks have passed since Bebé was announced as Manchester United’s latest signing of the summer but the decision to invest £7m in the unknown Portuguese striker got even more intriguing this week when he was overlooked for selection for a reserve game against Manchester City. Bebé arrived in England amidst unsubstantiated reports that he ha [...]

Will Liverpool Miss Mascherano? Referees Certainly Won’t!

August 27, 2010

So the big transfer news this week centres on James Milner’s eventual move to City and on Javier Mascherano’s inevitable transfer to Barcelona. How do you think these two will fare at their new clubs? Personally, I think that Milner could be a gem, if Mancini plays him centrally, but I am unconvinced by Mascherano. The Argies skipper hardly emb [...]

It’s time for Arsenal to stand up to the bigger boys

August 27, 2010

As my last few blogs have been a little critical to say the least, I have decided to balance my karma with an article offering encouragement. The team on the receiving end are not a side I have much love for personally but one which, like most other fans, I do admire. That team is Arsenal, who make that dreaded trip up the M6 to Ewood Park tomorrow [...]

Do you need to be English to play for England?

August 26, 2010

After what can only be described as a woeful World Cup performance by England’s national team, there is no doubt that Fabio Capello has a tough job ahead of him with the upcoming European Championship qualifiers. However, Capello is also aware that his stay as England coach will be short lived as the Football Association [...]

Spurs on the brink of greatness, Liverpool face humiliation

August 25, 2010

Not two years ago, on the 26th October 2008 to be precise, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool stood at polar opposites of the Barclays Premier League. Liverpool had just ended Chelsea’s 86 match unbeaten home record with a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge whilst taking the number one spot and, according to the BBC, “demonstrating their growing title cre [...]

Hey big spender… win a title for me?

August 25, 2010

Manchester City’s victory over Liverpool was, in the end, convincing. Whilst it is a patently obvious statement that an early goal settled them – it would do any team in the world – the game turned when Gareth Barry calmly passed the ball into the net. Before that Liverpool had actually started brightly, buoyed by [...]

Can the Youngsters rescue English football? Probably not.

August 25, 2010

After scanning the under 21 squad list for the upcoming fixtures against Portugal and Lithuania, I realised that we have a fantastic group of young players. Look at them: Wiltshire! Smalling! Albrighton! Rodwell! Carroll! All these youngsters have shone in the Premier League for their respective clubs, so why can’t they make the step up [...]

Forgotten men of sad South African Summer set to prosper

August 25, 2010

Neglected. Overlooked. Surplus to requirements. Out of form and out of favour.

Whichever spin you put on it, it was a disappointingly heartbreaking World Cup Summer for Theo Walcott, Adam Johnson and Joe Hart. Oft muted as the future of whatever fleeting hopes of glory we may still hold for our national teams prospects, they were each expected [...]

The power of the super-injunction

August 24, 2010

Another weekend passes and there are yet more stories in the Sunday newspapers surrounding the private lives of footballers in our country. This weekend saw a report of yet more footballers going to court to file super-injunctions to prevent their secrets of their private lives to be released to the public. I am fed up [...]

Why Liverpool & Everton won’t be joining the Sky 4

August 24, 2010

After two weekends, both the Blue and Red halves of Liverpool will not be impressed with their immediate openings to the season.

Hovering above the bottom three places in the league table and having scored only one goal each, the tactics boards will be worked upon this week. [...]
