Given the result of the first leg, I think everyone must have thought, myself included, that Tottenham would have held out for an easy win or even a draw to secure their second consecutive appearance in the Carling Cup final… turns out Burnley had other ideas and they made the Lillywhites look more like Pansies [...]
As if you didn’t see this happening. I mean, go Derby, you did well to get this far, but I think you were suffering from a severe case of wishful thinking, kind of like the time I wished my shlong would grow to 12″, instead I was hit in the head by a wayward Foot [...]
It would have gone down in the record books as the ‘richest deal in the history of sport’, instead it’ll go down as ‘the day football kept its soul’. Thank Christ, no thank Milan, no thank Kaka… heck I don’t know, thank somebody for this deal not happening! I’m just glad the messy and highly [...]
I love watching Liverpool scoring at the Kop end of Anfield, well namely Gerrard… there is so much energy in his run to the touch line followed with a smooth slide and the mobbing of his team mates, unlike Pepe Reina who nearly did a knee trying to replicate Gerrards slide at the other of [...]
I thought I’d go ahead and publish the results of the games played so far and oh boy what a weekend of predictions I had! I probably didn’t put much thought into the outcome of Wigan’s match against Middlesbrough, none the less, I picked 8 results out the 9 played so far and if tonight’s [...]
So overall a much better round of results this week and a few picked scores as well. Even though it was against the cards, I especially liked the comeback from Athletic Bilbao who are on 9 match unbeaten streak at the moment, confidence is high and they’ll soon be battling for second spot. Vamos Los [...]
Forget this as the return of Gilardino to play against Milan or as the first match for Beckham at the San Siro or even as another winning goal for youngster Pato. No this match had a more sinister plot and one that may destroy football for the near future. For those living in a cave [...]
Barcelona are in scintillating form right now and overnight added another 5 goals to the 54 they’d already deposited in different goal mouths around Spain… 59 (total) frickin goals and we’re only a bees dick off the half way point of the season! And only 13 goals against!?… that’s a +46 goal different! If this [...]
It must have been the weekend for last ditch efforts… first Berbatov to give United the win and put them top of the pops and then Frank Lampard with what was the last strike of the match. In saying that, it may appear I wrote Chelsea off a little too early… in fact with this [...]
A late goal by Dimitar Berbatov has propelled Manchester United to the top of the Premier League table and without doubt bought a realisation to Rafa Benitez that his Liverpool mob have to work extra hard if they’re to stay in contention for top spot. Admittedly, it took United 90 minutes to break down the [...]
With an exciting Merseyside derby on the cards, this could be the weekend that Liverpool is dethroned and Manchester United get back in the hot seat… whatever the case, this weekend promises an action and controversy packed affair, get your pop-corn ready! I predict:Blackburn 2 v 1 NewcastleBolton 0 v 2 Man UtdChelsea 5 v [...]
After a difficult set of matches to predict last weekend, our resident La Liga experts over at Head or Tails have vowed that this weeks predictions will be more accurate and that if they’re not, a Ramón Calderón type exit would be in order… I was thinking something a little less sinister, like a slap [...]
Many, many moons ago, I wrote a little article about how Ronaldinho was going to leave the Nou Camp and head straight for the Emirates [read it here]… why you ask? Why else, I was bored and I needed the attention! In all fairness though, it’s cause Arsenal had just published their annual profit and [...]
So you’re a marketing head over at Adidas and you want a World Class player to wear your new line of boots, aptly named Adi-Pure. You also want to pitch them as a traditional, nonsensical boot that kicks ass in any condition… who do you chose!? Well, if it was up to me I’d say [...]
Seriously, I’m so over all rumours and speculation of CR’s future at United! He’s obviously not going to move this transfer window, although much like his number seven predecessor at United, David Beckham, this deal will probably go down at the end of the season… no matter how things fair for United in the latter [...]
