So it turns out that Thierry Henry is an avid reader of this blog and took offense to what I wrote a few days ago. Yet, being the pofessional that he is, chose to prove me wrong on the park instead of posting a comment and dissin’ me in front of my peeps… Respect! Highlights: [...]
Watching the Melbourne vs Queensland match on Friday was more painful than sticking pins in my eyes or even watching under 10′s run around a field aimlessly for that matter. In all fairness to under 10′s though, even they’d be trying to impress their adoring parents standing on the side line barking out commands by [...]
There’s a problem other than Ronaldinho down at FC Barcelona… And no, it’s not Puyol’s hair; Henry is struggling to score! He is destroying defenders with his pace and first touch but seems to freeze up when he sets his sights on goal. The last goal he scored was in the Champions League and that [...]
When Messi scored his first against Seville on the weekend, he ran to the corner giving the standard Ronaldinho ‘ridgy-didge’ celebration while looking into the stands. So I figured that he was paying his respects to the great man cause Ronnie wasn’t even in the squad. Later reports indicated that Ronnie had been ruled out [...]

5 games, 5 draws and 5 points. The Victory are currently sitting in fourth and are 1 of 3 teams not to have lost yet, even though they came very to close to it last night. In what was a lackluster first half, Newcastle dominated almost all areas of the match and were generally quicker [...]
Im convinced that aliens visit the Earth every fortnight, between the months September and May, and take the form of strikers like Inzaghi, Shevchenko and van Nistelrooy. They probe the football stadiums of Europe in the hope of learning about the erratic behaviour of fans when the ball is placed in the back of a [...]
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has sensationally left Stamford Bridge by mutual consent, the club has confirmed.Mourinho still had three years left on a contract, worth a staggering £6.5million (AUS$15.18million) a year, but the club’s billionaire owner Roman Abramovich is prepared pay a huge slice of that in order to end their relationship. Wow! It was [...]
I know…the commentary is a bit outta left field, but hey, they’re highlights and unless you’re an Olympiacos fan you can un-mute the sound to listen to the crowd when goals are scored. Tuesday Wednesday
I don’t know about you, but I want to know what ever happened to the traditional colouring of jerseys and boots in this sport we love and call football. There was a time when football boots came in any colour you like, so long as it was black. Today though, It seems that brands are [...]
The richest tournament in club football kicks off this week and every billionaire wants a piece of it. Oh, and we can’t forget about the 32 teams competing for a place in the May final in Moscow. Winning the final in Moscow would be a nice incentive for Mr Abramovich’s men at Chelski. Not only [...]
In a match where even Jar Jar Binks aka Rio Ferdinand was able to score for England, you could tell that things were a little off centre. I guess it’s testament to how far the team has come in the McClaren era… it seems that the defenders are scoring as frequently, if not more often [...]
In what eventuated as a bazaar turn of events, the forces that be placed the pundit on hiatus so that I could go and indulge in some European football action! It was one hell ‘of a ride spanning from England, Holland, France, Spain and then coming to an end in Greece. The aim was to [...]
