Liverpool seem to have decided on a new transfer policy this summer which makes the same impact as Real Madrid's lovelorn chase for Ronaldo. Liverpool seem to be using their local paper, The Echo, to release transfer target information into the public domain to unsettle players at other clubs. Gareth Barry became the first and now it seems […]

While Premiership footballers are working on their tans, the businessmen within football are busier than ever. Silly season has well and truly begun as football agents, chairmen, publicists and executives burn the midnight oil. As we've seen in the past few days, it's not been just player transfers that clubs have been dealing with (such […]

The Premier League has given Aston Villa permission to have a charity's name emblazoned across their shirts next season instead of a sponsor's name. The landmark decision by the Premier League will allow Aston Villa to have Acorns Children's Hospice printed on its shirts. "Real credit must go to Aston Villa for being the first […]

Arsenal Reserves drew Liverpool Reserves 1-1 in a Saturday thriller. Rafa went with Jermaine Pennant and frisky Peter Crouch. Arsene started two English lads. Liverpool should have put the match away earlier. Crouch had a brilliant effort saved. Riise missed a sitter with his footballingly handicapped foot. Benayoun missed another. Even with United's draw, the […]

Arsenal beat Bolton 3-2 at the Reebok, keeping mathematical title hopes alive. The Gunners, with 10 men on the pitch, scored three goals to reverse a 2-0 deficit. Diaby deserved his red card for raised studs. Poor fortune averaged itself through an unmarked corner, a penalty and a deflection. Cristiano Ronaldo is the best in […]

Birmingham 4 – Tottenham 1 Spurs tried on the big boy pants, only to end up wearing them around their ankles. They had a sick party last weekend. This weekend they were simply sick. The rear guard is rubbish. Robinson has evolved from awfully fat to just awful. They are closer to the relegation zone […]

It was night of black armbands and barren kits in Manchester, which only served to emphasize the sponsorship everywhere else as Man City shocked Man United 2-1 at Old Trafford. It is no coincidence that most of Man U's losses come without Wayne Rooney on the pitch. Ronaldo can score goals but even he with […]

After this weekend a Google search for "Sven" and "Up the Arse" won't lead you astray as Arsenal defeated Manchester City 3-1 away from home to move to the top of the table. Adebayor dropped a deuce, scoring in his eighth straight match. Eduardo also controlled a ball magnificently with his chest to set up […]

The FA Cup Third Round relieved us from the dreariness of our normal robust Premier League schedule to enthrall us with live riveting matches like Pompey-Ipswich and grant us the opportunity to pay top dollar to watch Villa-Utd. All 20 Premier League clubs participated at the weekend and here are their performances ranked in order. […]

Despite all the bad feelings generated by Dave Kitson's recent comments, Saturday was a day to feel good about the FA Cup. It was a big day for the lower division clubs as they stepped up to pull off several upsets and make other games very close. First off, Everton were knocked out of the […]

"There's only one Titus Bramble" chanted the Wigan faithful, and he made the difference, earning a point in their 1-1 draw with Liverpool. Torres scored the initial goal, which salvaged Liverpool a point, but they have to be extremely disappointed with yet another poor result at "fortress" Anfield, winning only four of ten. Any persistent […]

Norman Hubbard of ESPN Soccernet has written an interesting article on who he thinks have been the worst players of the season so far. Personally, most of the article is spot on but there are a few choices that I don't agree with. Liverpool – Peter Crouch. Has Hubbard not seen Sissoko play this season? […]

Destiny entwined Two hundred thousand a week Major malfunction Liverpool beat Derby 2-1 on a late winner by Steven Gerrard. It was another unfortunate result for Derby who should have earned at least a draw for dominating Liverpool in the second half. The Reds were once again plagued by their inconsistency, with only the individual […]
