Despite five postponements there was plenty of action in the Championship this weekend as the seven surviving games yielded over twenty four goals and a host of dramatic and entertaining football. This week’s Championship game of the week also featured late drama in a game that included five goals, a dramatic comeback and a twist that all ensured an entertaining and gripping game at Vicarage Road.

Mainz slipped up on Saturday afternoon against Eintracht Frankfurt, which gives Borussia Dortmund the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table to an enormous ten points. To say they're running away with it wouldn't be far from the truth right now, despite it only being December. Elsewhere, Bayer Leverkusen will be […]

Everton travelled south on Saturday to face reigning champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The Toffees have struggled this season, only two spots out of the relegation zone. Chelsea has been on a poor run of their own, ceding the lead of the Premier League to Manchester United in the process. On this cold London day, […]

While the goals haven't been flowing yet in this round, there have been some surprise results and a lot of great drama. With the league leaders not playing until tomorrow, the pressure was on some of the Bundesliga's title hopefuls to keep the pressure on Dortmund. Let's get to the results. Borussia Monchengladbach 1 – […]

Due to the weather it was a much reduced Championship fixture list with Doncaster, Hull, Sheffield United, Nottingham Forest and Portsmouth all unable to host a match due to pitch and safety concerns. This did not stop this weekend being action packed with each fixture averaging three goals per game. Those that battled the sub […]

A photograph of Houston Dynamo's new soccer jersey for the 2011 MLS season has been leaked. Designed and manufactured by Adidas, the new Houston shirt features a completely different design which resembles a classic Netherlands jersey more than a MLS shirt. The orange colors with white trim are in stark contrast to Houston's home shirt […]

Lord Ashcroft has raised hopes for Watford fans that their fortunes will improve by suggesting to BBC Sport that he is in discussion to sell his stake in the club and bring in new investment. The statement that Ashcroft gave to the media was cryptic and certainly does not suggest that any move is imminent with investors being sounded out at this point.

December 2, 2010 may go down as one of the most dubious days in the history of world football. This will be seen as the day FIFA’s Executive Committee members and its president gave a giant middle finger to the traditional football powers in the world as well as those who may feel like shining […]

Round fifteen of the Bundesliga kicked off in unspectacular fashion on Friday night with St. Pauli beating Kaiserslautern by one (own-goal) to nil. Hopefully Saturday's games, though, should be full of action. Werder Bremen hosts Wolfsburg, and Bayern Munich travels to Schalke in two of the bigger games of the weekend. Let's get to it. […]

In the latest episode of Special 1 TV, a few good men star to deconstruct the past week in football. Everything from the sensational 5-0 win by Barcelona against Real Madrid (which I watched live on TV aboard a cruise ship, which was quite surreal) and how Jose Mourinho dealt with the massive defeat to […]

It's just disappointing all around really. One goal, and an own-goal, to decide what should have been a game packed with action. Kaiserslautern have been on such high form that anyone would have easily bet money on them smashing a St. Pauli side who have looked destined for the 2. Bundesliga lately, but that's football. […]

Borussia Dortmund's Europa League form has been nowhere near as good as their domestic form, and that's probably because they've had to prioritize their league fixtures over their Europa League ones. They've looked uninterested in their Europa League duties up until last night, where they whacked their Ukrainian opponents by a score-line of three goals […]

It's just so lame. "We don't win away because other Bundesliga clubs don't take care of their pitches." I mean come on. Many of the Bundesliga's top clubs play a similar kind of attacking football, and they've been able to take points on the road. I think it's a bit ridiculous – and a little […]

There is a headline somewhere about Norwich City having their local derby against Ipswich Town one week and a match against Derby County the next. Forgive me, but it is Friday afternoon and I can't quite get there. Regardless, it is an important fixture for Paul Lambert's men. They had gone five games without a […]
