Matt Quinn

Blogger of the year in 2009. Since then I've been in the rather unforunate position of working on a market stall selling multi coloured sparkling socks. You're more likely to find me appearing on Dragons Den than Dexys Den in the near future.

England – It will be alright on the night

September 10, 2008

Reasons to be cheerful

I’m not totally sure how or why I believe England will comfortably beat Croatia tonight, but I just do. I don’t think anything can be taken from the Andorra game in terms of form or analysis. The minnows, predictably, placed 11 plumbers behind the ball and simply put off the inevitable until the second half. I wasn’t [...]

Who will break into the top four?

August 12, 2008

The flailing pack

Last season, there appeared to be real cause for optimism regarding the competitiveness of the Premier League. The chasing pack, like rabid dogs sensing blood, cumulatively and individually, threatened the status quo of Sky’s big 4 and the monopoly (or whatever the 4 team term is) that had been held over England’s top divis [...]

Uninspiring England labour to victory

May 28, 2008

England 2 U.S. and A 0

Rubbish first half. Mildly better second half. Another insipid England performance lacking in invention and spark. The most worrying and annoying thing is that as soon as Capello announced his team, it was obvious that this was to be the outcome. Why Capello did not use this friendly as an excuse to give his “fringe” p [...]

Flawed genius

May 7, 2008

A life after football?

The recent demise of Paul Gascoigne has once again highlighted the pertinence of the cliche “flawed genius”. Not the first and certainly not the last footballer to self-destruct, Matt Quinn takes a look at some of the most prominent footballers to fall foul of the influences around their daily lives. [...]

2007/2008 Lots to play for

With titles and cups being settled across the globe, it would be easy to call 2007/08 a classic season for football and English club football, in particular. A genuine 3 horse title race, a number of clubs pushing for 4th place, 4 English clubs in the Champions league quarter-finals, outsiders flourishing in the FA cup [...]

Beauty and the Beast

April 3, 2008

If there’s any justice Arsenal will make the semi finals

“Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme. Beauty and the Beast.” Inspiring lyrics from a great film. I can see the teapots dancing now; I can see that adorable little cup with a chip in it. Smashing stuff. Today, however, I have realised I am not as accepting of ugly things as these [...]

Ronaldo in a class of his own?

Ronaldo needs to be playing in La Liga

Cristiano Ronaldo’s headed goal against Liverpool this weekend was his 34th of the season and his 25th in the league. He has managed to score against every team in the premiership apart from Manchester City, against whom he was suspended, Chelsea and Middlesbrough. He faces the latter two teams in the sea [...]

Why the Gunners have lost their bottle

This weekend saw the title race take yet another turn in Manchester United and, indeed, Chelsea’s direction. Another stumble by Arsenal has seen them overtaken by United, while Chelsea are now within striking distance. There is an air of inevitability to it all at the moment with the most worrying thing f [...]
