Darren Bent, A Good Deal All Round?

January 19, 2011

Perhaps the most surprising and definitely most talked about transfer so far is that of Darren Bent to Aston Villa.

Sorry, Mark Halsey, but you had a shocker last night

January 19, 2011

I usually admire Mark Halsey. He’s battled with cancer and won so far and he’s one of our better referees – he generally doesn’t litter games with cards for minor offences. But in last night’s FA Cup replay in which Manchester City thumped Leicester 4-2, he had an absolute nightmare. He gave Leicester a penalty [...]

January 19, 2011

It was only 24 hours ago when I logged onto my Twitter to be greeted with the message ‘How do you feel about Bent going to Villa Claire?’ WTF? Darren Bent going to Villa? OUR Darren Bent? It may as well have read ‘how do you feel about molesting small children Claire?!’ I didn’t see [...]

What to do when your team wants to leave town…

January 18, 2011

Spurs move to the new Olympic Stadium has been called “horrendous”, not just for the fans who would see their beloved North London club dug up and shoved East, but for the legacy of the 2012 games.

Is it time to scrap the transfer window?

January 18, 2011

For a few year’s now I’ve complained about the transfer window. Not in the general sense of the why’s and why not’s of why it was put into place and if it does or doesn’t have a positive effect on the game, but rather that it’s usually for the majority just well, dull. Sky Sports [...]

Darren Bent would be crazy to leave Sunderland for Villa

January 18, 2011

Darren Bent must know something we don’t know. The man has requested to be put on the transfer list to force a move from Sunderland to Aston Villa, with the Black Cats ‘reluctantly’ accepting a bid of an initial £18m rising to as much as £24m depending on his performance. Why would a player who [...]

The departure of Owen Coyle 12 months ago has so far proved to be too big an obstacle for Burnley to recover from. Since the Scot left for the bright lights of Bolton, the club has slipped from its short-lived stint among the country’s elite and back into the Championship, and an underwhelming first half [...]

“I hope we can go the whole season unbeaten.” These were the words of Manchester United winger Nani as he talked about The Red Devils season so far.

Let’s have some Fulham news

January 17, 2011

There’s a lack to talk about Fulham these days. The euphoria of last season, with the Hodgson army battling their way to the Europa League final, has somewhat died. Like an inflating balloon, the media rushed in during their European cup run: all full of praise for Roy’s lads who rose above the odds to [...]
