Wenger: “Schwarzer’s too old…it’s all about the youth”

October 8, 2010

The real talk this week has been about ageing goalkeepers. One of them, Edwin Van De Sar, looks set to retire to a world of cocoa, Countdown and lunch-time golf, while Mark Schwarzer is looking to prolong his career with a stint at Arsenal, where his job is likely to entail keeping goal, and babysitting Jack Wilshere and friends when mum and dad ar [...]

Liverpool and Everton: The case for a ground share

October 7, 2010

Let’s look at the cold hard facts. Both clubs need a new stadium.

Clueless Capello running out of ideas and time

October 4, 2010

The bizarre decision to call up 33-year old Bolton captain Kevin Davies smacks of the kind of cluelessness the tabloids tarred Don Fabio with following England’s dismal World Cup showing.

No, not a win in Spain, rather Alex Ferguson throwing on two strikers who go on to win a game for him at the death.
