Dexy Longshot

Welcome to my Den, I'm the resident pundit who, contrary to appearance, knows a thing or two about the beautiful game.

Dexy’s 2011-2012 Season Preview Part 3: The big 6

August 12, 2011

Here’s the final installment of this Seasons Prem Wars trilogy sans the Lightsabres and Orks although the Death star does get a mention. This is how I fancy the top tier of the English league to look come May 2012. I’ll also have a punt on the Champions League. Barcelona…no surprise there then. 6 Tottenham [...]

Dexy’s 2011-2012 Season Preview Part 2: Middle Ground.

August 12, 2011

Part 2 of my season preview sees me look at the chances of the mid tablers. If it pans out anything like last season, these predictions could be all over the shop and separated by just 8 points come May. I’m on a hiding to nothing really ain’t I hey? We continue…. 14 Bolton The [...]

Dexy’s 2011-2012 Season preview part 1 – The relegation fodder

August 12, 2011

It’s here at last, sort off, some games may be re-scheduled, due to the terrible rioting the country has seen over the past week, but hopefully things will run smoothly over the coming weeks. Back to the footy, there have been untold comings and goings in pre-season on and off the football field. Look at [...]

Dexy’s end of season rollicking round-up part 1

June 5, 2011

With a week to reflect on the last 10 months of footy I can safely come to conclusion that it was a belter!  This 2010-2011 brought us the tightest Premiership in yonks with just the cats whiskers separating the top teams from the bottom. Some people are preaching that it was a very weak league [...]

Jack’s the lad for Fabio

October 11, 2010

3 lions time again at Wembley tonight and I’ll be down there to get behind the team, I may even get a game behind the first 6 the way we are losing center halves. After the loss of The Jag and The Slag, it looks like Rio will be put in with Lego-Head Lescott which for me is not the ideal pairing but Fabio hasn’t got much choice at the mo. Upson h [...]

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 [...]

Bubbles to be burst again by Bolton’s Bullies?

August 21, 2010

This afternoon brings around the Premiership’s most anticipated fixture of the season, well for Bolton fan’s anyway.

Dexy’s Premiership predictions 2010-11

August 12, 2010

Part 1. The relegation also rans

Oh yes my footy crazed brethwen, it has been quite possibly the worst World Cup since I can remember but the wait is over, the Premiership Season is but 48 hours away and it’s promises to be scorcher. So many new faces coming and going and the usual influx of overseas youngsters stunting our development on the in [...]

Not so Hungry for Hungary

August 11, 2010

Anyone want 3 tickets with me for an England international game tonight because i’ve got some and I can’t get shot of them. No surprising really, after the shambles in South Africa, I don’t think the FA are doing anyone any favours trying to milk the last bit wedge out of supporters. I’ve heard there is something approaching 20’000 tickets still [...]

Dexy’s World Cup group D preview

June 7, 2010

Australia

The Ozzies are in the mix again and I’d rather we avoid them early doors. They did well in the last World Cup (a Totti last minute Pen knocking them out) & can turn it on if they stay off the Castlemaine but an ageing squad is a worry. They would love a win against us to make up for their Ashes defeat but sorry Bruce, when it comes t [...]

Dexy’s Group C Preview

June 6, 2010

Algeria

the Algerians knocked out Egypt literally in a bad tempered play-off. I doubt they’ll being knocking anyone out next summer though. We should run up a cricket score against this lot. It wouldn’t surprise me if Fabio puts out a few fringe players if we go 2 up before half time. The group c cannon fodder. [...]

Dexy’s Group B Preview

June 5, 2010

Argentina

Mmm, let me think of something nice to say about the Argies…..er……erm……..you can’t beat a nice bit of Corned Beef and piccalilli? The best team on paper managed by the best player ever (maybe after Pele, Bobby, The Kaiser and Johan). When it comes to tactics though, he is pony, how dirty Diego is in charge after the drugs sha [...]
