My heart says Ghana will take this out (you see a win will lull them into a false sense of security for the World Cup, making Australia the underdogs, just what they want and will in turn give them a chance at, wait for it… world domination! I’m the eternal optimist), but my head screams [...]
Godzilla v King Kong, Ali v Foreman, Woods v Nordegren… Gunners v Red Devils! Like all good rivalries, this top of the table clash promises the making of a grand occasion and there’s no doubt it’ll live up to expectations. More like a clash of two titans, both teams are in great form at the [...]
Without a doubt, game of the round will see the Red Devils travel to the Emirates to take on the Gunners. Not only are Arsenal and United massive clubs with a rich history and rivalry, but it’s also been some time since a match between them had any major significance in the league and therefore [...]
Red cards and broken noses aside, tonight Los Blancos travel to Estadio Riazor for what our friends at Heads or Tails describe as “a night in Hell!”. Without CRon on deck, it may seem a big ask for Real as their last win at this stadium was in fact a mere 18 years ago… 18 [...]
Another mid week round and another set of matches that look set to whet the palate. A win for Liverpool away to the Wolves and a Tottenham loss by city rivals Fulham will see the Reds jump into fourth, which given their form of late is just ridiculous! Expect resistance by Birmingham at Stamford Bridge [...]
I’ve been avoiding the African’s Cup of Nations this year like a bushman would a fallen Coke bottle and I promise it’s got nothing to do with all the weird hairdo’s kicking about the tournament or the fact that every player in a tight Puma top scares the bejesus out of me. Quite simply I [...]
I don’t know how else to put this, so I’m just going to come out and say it… Manchester United, without Rooney may as well be Take That without Robbie, New Kidz On The Block without Marky Mark Donny or N*Sync without Justin. I’m not saying they’re useless, just that the one common denominator, besides [...]
Mid week saw a couple matches in the King’s Cup, but don’t worry or mouchachos at Heads or Tails told us not to worry about the results as they were dismal. Instead, they warned that Sevilla will be firing again this weekend with Luis Fabiano and Kanoute on the attack and they even mentioned Racing [...]
At the start of the season, all eyes were firmly on Chelsea and Manchester Utd to see who would bitch slap who and win the squabble to call dibs on the Premier League trophy come May. In doing so, [myself included], Arsenal’s young guns, their inspirational captain and their nutty Professor Wenger were overlooked almost [...]
Ah, I love cross town rivalries. They really do warm the heart. Nothing screams “Fuck you neighbour!” quite like a few fake dives, a bad penalty decision and two goals by the same player, that only a mere 6 months ago was plying his trade for the opposing team… oh and how could I forget [...]
Mid week sees a take two of the matches that were meant to be played [here], before God decided to dump snow over Europe and almost wipe out an entire round of football… on the up side though, now we get a shite load of matches packed into every conceivable calendrical orophus till mid February, [...]
It’s been a while since I commented on anything Serie A related… yes even Beckams return. Anyway, look out cause Ronaldinho’s back and looking the goods just in time for the World Cup! Seriously, I think I just peed my pants. Hey don’t judge me punk, mum says it happens to the best of us! [...]
As entertaining as it is to watch a “top four” mid-table team implode from the board-room outwards, the novelty starts to wear off after seven league losses, 4 draws and the constant inability to see out a match without conceding in the dying minutes. It’s comparable to watching a donkey chase a dangling carrot down [...]
I predict: Stoke City 1 v 2 Liverpool Chelsea 3 v 1 Sunderland Man Utd 2 v 0 Burnley Portsmouth 1 v 1 Birmingham Tottenham 3 v 0 Hull City Wolves 1 v 0 Wigan Everton 2 v 3 Man City Aston Villa 2 v 0 West Ham Blackburn 1 v 1 Fulham Bolton 1 [...]
After Barca’s mid week King’s Cup blunder and the first competition the team entered under coach Pep Guardiola that they can’t win, the Liga is back and our amigos at Heads or Tails enthusiastically inform us that all eyes will be on Racing Santanders tricky young offensive midfielder, Sergio Canales, who single-handedly destroyed Sevilla last [...]
