Roy Hodgson is back - Fourth Officials watch out

Filed Under Managers | 3 Comments

Mr. Angry is back. Check him out here.
The thing about Hodgson is that when he’s angry, he doesn’t come across as threatening or intimidation, like a Roy Keane figure.
He looks, frankly, like an exasperated penguin.
Good luck Roy. When you see the squad Sanchez left you, you might need it.

My Team Of The Season So Far

Filed Under Fantasy football, Football, Premiership | 11 Comments

Right, we’re about halfway through the season and we all think we know better so here’s my Premiership team of the season so far.
Keeper - Reina
Difficult one, I thought - there’s been some outstanding keepers but some howlers made by those you wouldn’t expect. Reina has been the most consistent in my opinion.
Defence - Bacary [...]

Tony Cascarino Is From Another Dimension

Filed Under Football, Idiots, Newspapers | 2 Comments

In “The Game”, the Times’ laudable football supplement on 24/12/07, Tony Cascarino stated in his Fiver section:
Dimitar Berbatov has more ability than Dennis Bergkamp, the former Arsenal striker, but the Tottenham Hotspur forward lacks that bit of nastiness that gave Bergkamp his edge. So how badly do you want it Dimitar? How big is your [...]

If I was the Newcastle chairman…

…I’d sack Sam Allardyce. Not for the crappy football, not for the league position, but simply for spending over £5m of the club’s money on Joey Barton.
Seriously, the lad is just trouble and the baggage he brings is not made up for by what he does on the pitch. How anyone in their right mind [...]

Thoughts on the Boxing day football

Filed Under Premiership | Leave a Comment

I love the Christmas fixtures, I have to say. The glut of games in such a short space of time leads to tiredness and results that make you look twice.
Chelsea 4-4 Aston Villa - Why was Cech playing just days after we heard he could be out for a month? Did his injury contribute to [...]

I will boo the failures, thugs and cowards

Filed Under Animals, Fans, Idiots, Money, Newspapers, Premiership, Sad, Violence, Youngsters | 1 Comment

I find it a little bit sickening - not to mention hypocritical - that managers and players are calling for an end to abuse from fans in the same week that Man Utd players have been accused of having gang-sex with a 19-year-old girl at their Christmas party.
Respect has got to be earned, and I’ve [...]

New Broom Sweeps Clean (I Hope)

Filed Under Football, Idiots, Managers | Leave a Comment

With Capello being appointed the Engerland manager (Moyes for Scotland please), I just hope he picks the team rather than basing it on either what’s in Supergoals on a Monday or Showboat on Soccer AM. Given his English is not that great, I can’t imagine he’s going to be looking to expand his vocabulary by [...]
