Why Liverpool fans should be sorry to see Torres go…

January 31, 2011

Fernando Torres’ love affair with Liverpool is over. Less than four years after snubbing Chelsea for a move to Anfield – to play for, in his own words, “a club of champions, one of the biggest there is” – the Spain striker is heading to West London for a reported fee of £50m. A transfer [...]

Why does everyone hate Arsenal? Is it jealously?

January 31, 2011

“It’s a disgrace, it’s a f***ing disgrace, those bloody foreign Arsenal players are a disgrace to the game of football”. Oh dear, twitter went a little bit crazy yesterday. Twitter always goes crazy whenever an Arsenal game is televised, particularly on ESPN, which seems to be an anti-Arsenal propaganda machine (not that I’m paranoid or [...]

Blackpool’s Holloway in a lose-lose situation

January 27, 2011

Love him or hate him, there’s no doubt that Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has been a breath of fresh air for the Premier League this season. His straight-talking, often humorous mannerism has won him a number of fans, while others have questioned the wisdom behind his blunt approach to life among the country’s elite, especially [...]

Mourinho’s latest Galactico

January 27, 2011

Real Madrid’s signing of Emmanuel Adebayor has been as shocking as it is brilliant by Mourinho and co. at The Bernabeu. Since his arrival at the Spanish capital in the summer of 2010, the Portuguese tactician has gone about strengthening areas that needed development bringing in the likes of Angel Di Maria, Sami Khedira and [...]

Weekly Report: Binging Berbatov, Soft Spurs and a Horror Challenge

January 27, 2011

One was pushed, one jumped. Both were idiots and their archaic chauvinism wore out a long time ago. Thankfully, that is the end of them. On the pitch however, Dimitar Berbatov showed just how much he has adapted to his new, adopted home country by going out binging. The Bulgarian obviously likes to wallow around [...]

Hodgson is the man for West Ham

January 27, 2011

I FEEL a bit sorry for Avram Grant. I have done ever since he came to these shores in 2006. It’s amazing to think what the Israeli has been through in just five years in this country. His appointments as Technical Director at Portsmouth and later Director of Football at Chelsea caused murmurs of discontent [...]

Has Football only been sexist since Saturday??

January 26, 2011

An atmosphere of ‘hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil,’ isn’t an atmosphere of change or tolerance. Unseen, unheard, unsaid but still there and right or wrong, where will it go? Former Sky Sports football analyst Andy Gray may sit (unemployed) and wonder why exactly he has lost his job. Richard Keys, his [...]

Gray and Keys unlock cause for celebration

January 26, 2011

The ‘scandal’ surrounding the sexist comments of Andy Gray and Richard Keys should really be a celebration. Two of the most respected, experienced men in English football television have been corrected in an offside dispute by a female official who let her judgement do the talking, and the attitudes of an older generation of men [...]

2-0 down at half time, no problem for Man United

January 26, 2011

What a match. We were suddenly back to the United of old: the careless start then attacking flair and literal bloody mindedness to win at any cost. There would always be blood, sweat and tears at Bloomfield Road, just as there was at Burnley last year. I feared that before the match and especially when [...]

The difference between banter and prejudice

January 26, 2011

I was going to ask the missus what she thought about the Sky Sports sexism row – but I didn’t want to distract her from the ironing. A decidedly sexist opening gambit, but one that I am confident will not see me barred from Dexy’s Den. The reason being, this is a joke based on [...]
