It may seem like a typical mid-week game, but Tottenham's match tonight against Everton is monumental. If Spurs win, they go joint second with Manchester United, and will be just three points away from Manchester City at the top of the table. A win for Harry Redknapp's side tonight and another slip-up by either of […]

The departure of Neil Warnock has shocked many QPR fans, who consider his dismissal to be an unjust, knee-jerk decision, based solely on their recent slump in form. Remember of course that it was Warnock who, within just over a year in charge, transformed the club from relegation contenders to clear winners of the Championship; […]

Day two of cleaning up my garage unearthed some more gems. This time it's "Football '90," which is a small stack of Panini stickers from the 1990-91 season. There are about 50-75 stickers in all, nowhere near the entire collection. But the first thing that jumped out at me is all of these long forgotten […]

In the past few weeks, I've been reading several comments from readers who are complaining how expensive it is to watch soccer on television. Of course, it's all relative. Based on the quantity of games shown, it's probably the best bargain we've ever had. But it made me think. How much is each of us […]

It's only fitting that in a game where Arsenal monopolized the number of shots taken against Leeds United in Monday's FA Cup match that late substitute Thierry Henry would stride on to the pitch and show his fellow teammates how to slot the ball into the back of the net. Specifically I'm looking at you, […]

Soccer has been one of the most important things for me almost my entire life, but if there is one thing I don't like about the sport, it's when questionable calls happen like the one on Sunday where Vincent Kompany got red carded for his challenge on Nani. The reason why I don't like instances […]

While cleaning out my garage over the weekend, I came across an old box of football/soccer collectibles. I haven't peeked inside the box yet to see what's in there, but I thought I'd reach in and pick out the first thing that was near the top. And it just so happened to be a sheet […]

Just eighteen miles separates Wolverhampton Wanderers and Birmingham City geographically. The West Midlands rivals are also separated by 18 places retrospectively between two divisions. On Saturday, they were separated by nothing but fresh air as the ‘ding dong derby’ turned out to be a dull and drab affair. Wolverhampton Wanderers travelled to Birmingham City, who […]

Over the years there have been few events in sport that can rival the excitement of the FA Cup. This Manchester Derby was a perfect example of the magic that this tournament embodies. It was exciting for fans of both sides and neutrals as well. It was a brilliant display of the quality of both […]

Paul Scholes has come out of retirement to rejoin Manchester United until the end of the season, and will be on the bench today for the FA Cup third round match against Manchester City. No, it's not an April fools joke. The 37-year-old Paul Scholes will be rejoining the 38-year old Ryan Giggs and his […]

Sixty league goals in 105 league matches for Huddersfield Town would suggest a definitive yes, but hat-tricks against the likes of Wycombe Wanderers, Preston and Exeter can’t be compared to the opposition faced in England’s top division. Being an Ipswich Town fan I have watched Rhodes’ career progression at Huddersfield with mixed emotions. One half […]

Almost 3 months have past since the ‘noisy neighbours’ and blue half of Manchester claimed the latest bragging rights of the city, as Roberto Mancini’s City thumped United 6-1 in their own backyard back in October. A much anticipated FA Cup 3rd round clash between the two sides will take place in the Etihad stadium this […]

This morning I was listening to BBC Five Live commentator Alan Green complaining about poor attendances in this weekend's FA Cup matches. The two examples he gave were the crowd of less than 15,000 for a west Midlands derby between Birmingham City and Wolves, and the fact that tickets were still available yesterday for Sunday's […]

Who knew that Arsene Wenger, Roy Hodgson and Roberto Mancini were not only rock stars, but rock musicians? Enjoy the following videos. httpv://youtu.be/E5DrdPrPpMU httpv://youtu.be/B2mqZHSPw4E H/T 101 Great Goals.

When Newcastle United signed Senegal international Demba Ba on a free transfer in the summer, it was naturally deemed an astute bit of business by the Magpies hierarchy. Following West Ham’s relegation to the Championship last season, the 26-year-old striker was allowed to leave Upton Park for nothing with Newcastle the first in line to […]
