This season, like most seasons in the past 8 or so years, Chelsea set out to claim a host of silverware, however, after all their hard work and endeavour all they managed to end up with was the lousy FA Cup! No seriously, that was it… the FA Cup!?Man, if I played for the Blues [...]
So the European hangover is over… well almost and this weekend will see the culmination of the La Liga for another year (not last week as I prematurely noted). So then, this weekend see’s a relegation battle between a handful of teams like Osasuna, Real Valladolid, Betis, Sporting Gijón and Getafe, but rest assured Osasuna [...]
Ok, so Thursday and Friday still feel like a blur and well today, all that’s left is the smell of two day old vomit in a bucket and pictures to remind me of the mess Manchester United made of the UEFA Champions League final. By now though, you’ve probably seen and read just about every report in the world analysing the match so I’m going to take it from another angle. Check it. In a match completely dominated by Nike sponsorship deals, the two goal scorers actually came from sponsors of their direct competitors…
So I’ve delayed this for as long as humanly possible and the time has come for me to head down to the pub and start doing my pre-match warm up. However, after much deliberation and much analysis, I’ve come to several conclusions that I feel will determine the outcome of this match.My biggest concern for [...]
Some real impressive rumours are being thrown around at the moment. Things like: Olive wreaths will be presented to the winners as opposed to medals, women playing harps will be seated in cages above areas of the grandstand and possibly my favourite of the bunch, tigers and Gladiators will be thrown onto the field if [...]
With all the hype surrounding the UCL final, I almost let the ball slip on posting about the new F50i Tunit’s that Lionel Messi will be kitted in for tonight’s match. FINALLY, Adidas have made a boot that will compete with the slickness and sophistication of the Nike Mercurial Vapors and Superflys!
At heart I’m a minimalist, so looking at this design is like looking at Adidas in a new light, as though they tossed their rich history of plunking three solid lines all over our their products out the window and opted to be a bit more subtle about their approach. And the colour isn’t all that bad either. It’s almost an electric blue, which works well to push their marketing tag line “Every team needs the spark”.
The forums, the blogs, the streets of Rome, Europe and the world are buzzing as though this is a World Cup final! At the helm of the buzz, two youngsters, two world beaters, two brilliant minds getting ready to push their teams through this spectacle that is the UEFA Champions League Final! Shit I can [...]
My seething hatred for Nicolas Anelka (and his arrogant French head) is fully documented on this site with most of the “hatred” stemming from the fact that he’s an overrated cheese eating surrender monkey who, on several occasions has sold his soul to any club that is willing to put up with his arrogance… and [...]
It would be a pretty shit feeling being Damien Duff right now… not only was he credited for the deflected goal that Gareth Barry scored, but in doing so he also had his team relegated to Championship football, where he’ll no doubt finish off his career and take a massive pay cut… yep I’d say [...]
Well folks we’re down to the last week of the season and 37 weeks ago if you told me that Sunderland, Hull, Newcastle and Middlesbrough would be locked in a relegation shit fight, I would’a been like yeah, should I get the toilet paper! And then I would have put forward a rule that placed [...]
The end may be upon the La Liga too, but rest assured cause the final day in Spain always brings with it surprises… strange red cards, bizarre penalties and plenty of own goals… yep these are the mysteries of the last day of the season.I’ll also take this opportunity to thank our friends over at [...]
For those who paid attention, the UEFA Cup final was last night (or the night before)… you know, the uglier less attractive 1st cousin of the Champions League; And against all the odds, Shakhtar Donetsk pinched the trophy away from favourites Werder Bremen with a late, late, why do I torture myself with these matches, [...]
With the title already in the bag, Pep Guardiola put out a second string team and well they got beat after taking the lead through Samuel Eto’o… talk about a buzz kill!… Yay! We just won La Liga, but oh man did we get humiliated by a bunch of mid table hacks! Anyway, congrats are [...]
A big congratulations are in order for the third successive Premier League win by Manchester United and after another stellar year which has seen them bag 3 trophies out of a possible 4 and 1 still to go. Here are a couple of assumptions to come out of this season… 1. Despite the lack of [...]
Meanwhile over in Spain, it looks like the race will be over this weekend and Barca will be crowned champions. Where the real battle lies is for the 4th and final Champions League spot so there will be some fiery matches, especially the Osasuna v Sevilla match… this has red and yellow cards plastered all [...]
