What’s the point of the Europa League?

March 18, 2011

I know that’s a bold statement right off the bat, but I’m getting genuinely baffled by a competition that clubs, players and particularly UEFA consistently treat as the Champions League’s annoying little brother. So by the end of last night’s ‘entertainment’ I found myself asking this exact question rhetorically, because there seems to [...]

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 [...]

The case for Peter Crouch

November 18, 2010

What will it take for Fabio Capello to believe in Peter Crouch? An international record better than any other England striker? A cameo off the bench that includes a brilliantly taken volley? Or maybe two World Cups and a FA Cup winners medal? No, no Crouchy has all those in his locker, so what is [...]

Rosey’s World Cup Round-up semi-final

July 6, 2010

Thanks Diego So it’s Holland who are the first team to book their place at Sunday’s final, after they defeated Uruguay in Cape Town tonight. But I’d like to take this opportunity to heap praise upon a member of the tonight’s losing side, Diego Forlan. There surely has never been such a world class goal-scorer [...]

Rosey’s World Cup Round-up: England

June 28, 2010

I’m sure like me, you have read every column inch and more on yesterday’s debacle in Bloemfontein including Mike and James excellent blogs on here. You may have come-up with a range of different opinions on the players and manager and what’s next for English football. Having taking in all of this, I’ve come to my own conclusion and for me [...]

Rosey’s World Cup Round-up day 14

June 24, 2010

Avriadechi! I’m not going to dwell too much on yesterday’s result as far as I’m concerned it was job done. The fact that we were holding on to the lead with minutes ago against a team like Slovakia doesn’t bode well ahead of games against Germany and then possibly Argentina but the performance was so [...]

Rosey’s World Cup Round-up day 12

June 22, 2010

Au revouir I bet Irish eyes are smiling tonight. Hell, the football world should have wide grins on their face at the expense of a side that got exactly what they deserved today, as France bowed out of World Cup 2010. Let’s forget for a second that they cheated their way to get here, thanks [...]

Rosey’s World Cup Round-up day 10

June 20, 2010

Who wants to win? Does anyone want to win this World Cup? After the tepid trend of the first round of group games, the second lot’s trend looks like being the story of the underdog. Hot on the heals of Switzerland’s win over Spain, Mexico’s over France, Serbia’s over Germany and Algeria’s point with England [...]

Rosey’s World Cup Round-up day 9

June 19, 2010

The Aftermath I was beyond words last night, I really was – which for a writer by profession is some stretch. I’d sat and listened to my friends post-match, to the pundits on ITV and the guys on Radio 5 live on my home and although we have the tendency to go over the top [...]

Rosey’s World Cup Round-up day 7

June 17, 2010

Au revior? There’s a well known saying that states what goes around, comes around.  It’s something that Raymond Domenech and his French team should think about this evening. Eight months after that infamous game with Republic of Ireland that saw Thierry Henry literally hand the French their World Cup place, they themselves are now staring [...]

June 16, 2010

World Cup wakes-up Well that was a bit more like it wasn’t it? Six days into World Cup 2010 and we’ve finally got a day that gave us everything we enjoy about the big tournament. A attacking win from an unknown country, a stand-out performance from a true world-class star and of course a major [...]

Rosey’s World Cup Round-up day 5

June 15, 2010

Minnow’s have something to shout about Day five of the World Cup may have brought more bad weather and more mediocre football but it was at least a day for some of the minnows competing in South Africa. The day’s early kick-off was probably one of least desirable games on paper of the group stage, [...]
