It's hard to deny that Leeds United fans have had to suffer for the past half a decade. It was always one of England's biggest teams, in the 60's and 70's Leeds were in the same mould as what the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal are today. I won't go into the downfall of things […]

It certainly doesn't feel like every season we see six different teams in the Championship, and depending what way you enter the league can often dictate expectations for a club. After the weekend's League One Playoff final, we now know the three teams that will be playing the Championship via relegation from the Premiership and […]

Watching the Midlands derby on television Saturday between Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers, a smile crept on my face when I saw an elderly woman in the crowd celebrating after Aston Villa scored a goal. To see her beaming and jumping up and down was a natural and beautiful thing to see. It filled my […]

I'm getting sick of people who say that the FA Cup is dead or dying. All you had to do was watch the Tottenham Hotspur against Leeds United match on Saturday and you would have walked away convinced that the tournament is very much alive and kicking. In a tremendously exciting game, Leeds United held […]

During the Watergate scandal, Richard Nixon claimed on national television that "There can be no whitewash at the White House", yet history shows that there was indeed a whitewash and Nixon orchestrated it through delusions of power and presidential etiquette. It seems that time has taught people nothing about that lying whilst hoping no-one notices […]

Listening to the BBC Radio Five Live commentary last Sunday of the match between Manchester United and Leeds United, I was taken aback by a statement that the commentator made at the onset of the program. I'm paraphrasing, but the commentator said that in the interests of simplicity, whenever he mentioned "United" in the commentary, […]

Without a doubt, the third round of the FA Cup is one of the highlights of the calendar year for football supporters. It's a golden opportunity to see the giants of football compete against amateur teams made up of people with ordinary professions such as postmen, labourers, accountants and policemen, etc. In previous years, there […]

The morning after Liverpool crashed out of the Champions League has seen the club reiterate that Rafa Benitez's position is safe. Not qualifying for the Champions League knock out stage is a big blow for a club that strives for parity at Europe's top table. Throughout this season, Liverpool have struggled in the League and […]

Reports coming from Radio Solent are claiming that McAllister, after turning down the same role under George Burley with the Scottish national team last week, has agreed to join Pompey.

Somewhere between Leeds and Manchester on the M62 I was able to truly digest my four-day jaunt back to my native land for the third round of the Carling Cup. Working in football in the United States is a great privilege, and in Pacific Northwest the advent of Seattle Sounders FC has been a revelation […]
