“Take two steps forward then take two three steps back”!… Paula Abdul was credited for writing that shit and now Arsenal are performing to it! Just as they do the hard work, they mess it up time and time again. Wenger either has to get his defense in order or start playing his young guns. [...]
Turns out that Adelaide weren’t the only red’s to go down to the same opponent in the space of a fortnight.Only eleven days ago Tottenham came from behind to shock Liverpool at Anfield and kick-start their Premiership ambitions again. Since then the Lillywhites have grown in stature and confidence and are looking more like the [...]
Congratulations are in order as Gamba made Adelaide look below average for the second time in two weeks and while doing so won themselves a piece of silverware, reminiscent of treasure you’d find in ancient Egypt, to add to their trophy cabinet. It’s a pity Adelaide couldn’t live up to the massive task laid out, [...]
Great performances are too good ’a posting opportunities to pass up… especially when a near full strength team of “men” get whipped by a team of teenagers. The Wenger Boys are starting to prove a hand full for Premier League teams, let alone the pour souls of the Championship, so I’m posting this cause I [...]
Reds coach Aurelio Vidmar knows that his team will be pushing shit uphill tomorrow night… actually it’ll be more like a pushing it up a mountain while being chased by a mob of crazy little Japanesies: It’s a very big mountain to climb – Mount Fuji probably – but we’ll go out there and do [...]
In my never ending search for internet football immortality through the cesspit that is the internet, I came across a glimmer of hope, a shimmer of light, some freshness in amongst this stale climate; a competition to win a replica football jersey of your choice! It was easy enough to enter and I reckon it’s [...]
Billed as the match of the weekend and watched by some 800 million! households around the world, this was a match Arsenal haaaad to win. As I suggested earlier this week, it was more so for the sake of their poor manager Arsene Whiner… oh and the unsuspecting Adebayor. Anyway, Wenger knew it too: It [...]
A resurgent Juventus, captained by one Alessandro “In the form of his life” Del Piero, took home all three points from the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid. Del Piero’s brace stole the show as he showed how clinical he can be, even from distance. And while Juve were without half of their first team squad, [...]
3-0 to Gamba and game over for Adelaide!Going off Adelaide’s performance this evening, I don’t even think they should bother showing up for the rematch. They lacked the determination and conviction that they have shown in so many of their previous ACL matches thus far. Maybe it was the occasion itself, or the thought that [...]
It’s been billed as the most anticipated match in Australian club football history. It’s build up as epic as the US presidential election, minus the USD$40 million spent along the way. The time is upon Adelaide to fly the flag for not only South Australian football, but for Australian football as a whole and demonstrate [...]

After a draw and two losses, the pressure was on for Panathinaikos to get results in Germany, especially after Werder’s demolition of Hertha Berlin at the weekend… and like an ancient Athenian army they stepped up and delivered the killer blows to got the three points. They’ve been at the bottom of this group since [...]

Chelsea seem to have put their loss against Liverpool well and truly behind them… as if the thrashing of Hull mid-week wasn’t evidence of that and they got off to a flier against Sunderland, scoring early and then never looking back. They’re almost destroying teams at will and as embarrassing as it may be for [...]
As if you didn’t know this was coming!?… Liverpool “The Great Pretenders” were sooner rather than later going to come unstuck and drop points to some bottom feeders. It just so turns out it was Tottenham and at a time when every point matters. Anyway, the Reds aren’t a Championship winning team… they’re just not [...]
