The CAF should hold their heads in shame!

January 15, 2010

I’ve been following some of the African Nations drama on the box and t’internet over the last week & of course Dexy’s outstanding previews, but I must say I was appalled as the news reports came in on Friday night regarding the devastating machine gun attack on the Togo team bus, resulting in 3 deaths and numerous injuries. The psychological trau [...]

Mickey Marbles one minute mouth off!

October 9, 2009

After the recent success of the 3 Lions qualifiers with 2 games to spare, I’m still going to have a grumble. Believe it not children, England are playing the Ukraine on Saturday. It is a WC qualifier and gives Fabio a chance to work with the squad without the pressure of putting points on the board. My moan is the £4.99 I’ve got to stump up to wat [...]

England Under 21’s vs The FA

June 26, 2009

How do. A 5-minute mouth off today, a sort of two-parter. Lucky buggers

Psycho Stu Pearce steps up to the plate tonight with the young lions against the impressive host nation Sweden in the semis of the UEFA U21′s. After starting out as 3rd favourites, we have eased into the latter stages after an edgy start against Finland when goalscorer Miche [...]

Sack the FA!

June 18, 2009

I hate that I do!

Those toffs at the FA had me in a bloody head boiling rage when I read this the other day. They have sent out a warning to their Football Foundation stakeholders of a proposal to cut 20% from their £15m-a-year contribution to the grassroots sport charity. [...]

Theo Grande

June 13, 2009

I hate that I do!

Arsene’s been whinging again, spouting some sphill about the player Fabio calls our most important. The lad Walcott and how he is being overused and will he burn out by next summer. Mmm, let me think, 2 extra England games, is that really gonna push young Theo over the brink, I don’t think so Arsene, or don’t you see it like th [...]

Bring on the Techno!

June 6, 2009

Say Everton equalized last Saturday and won on pens (They probably did, no one would have seen it if you were watching on ITV with that terrible shadow ruining the picture, go Setanta! they even had Saint & Greavsie presiding in the run-up, proper old-school pundits). Any road, imagine the Toffees sneaked it on pens, Maloudas disallowed (Hursty 66 [...]

Why can’t English teams defend?

April 23, 2009

I hate that I do!

The first thing that sprang to mind after watching the Liverpool v Arsenal game the other night was how appalling the defending was. Call that entertainment, I call it a bloody disgrace. Arsenal are not known for their defensive qualities but Liverpool should know better. They are supposed to be a side challenging for the Premi [...]

The FA are bunch of old farts!

April 8, 2009

Mickey Marbles weekly rant A ref ordered a penalty to be retaken in a Sunday league game last week when a oppo’s player put one down (The blow-off, not the ball!) when it was kicked! not a lie, I tell thee. The Chorlton Villa player (That’s Chorlton, not Trumpton!) got a yellow card for the [...]

Mickey Marbles – Taking the Michael

March 31, 2009

I hate that I do!

Introducing Mickey Marbles, a grumpy old Northerner who once had trials for Donacaster Rovers in 1965, he didn’t make it and has been bitter ever since. He remembers the good old days when footballers were real men, they could sink 10 pints the night before a game, could take a tackle and get by on 2 bob per week.
