I predict: Lyon 2 v 0 Bordeaux Bayern 1 v 1 Man. United Champions League Final 1999: Up there as one of the greatest finals in Champions League history. Where did you watch this match?
While I begin to prepare for the week leading up to the match that will most likely decide the La Liga title this year, ie. Real Madrid v Barcelona next weekend, our amigos at Heads or Tails are looking at the now and suggest that perhaps Sevilla may made a critical long term error by [...]
Arsenal and Chelsea’s title plans could be derailed this weekend as they prepare to slug out their respective matches against two stubborn teams from the midlands; Birmingham just refuse to lose at home and Villa have had the upper hand on ‘The Pensioners’ this season all ready. Both matches will go toe to toe. I’m [...]
Right, we’re nearing mid week and with no European obligations looks like I’ll have to settle for some La Liga action instead… on a week night!? The world really has gone mad; well mad for Lionel Messi anyway. My counterparts over at Heads or Tails are still searching the Spanish equivalent of the Oxford dictionary [...]
With Arsenal’s win sending them top of the pops last night, pressure now lies with United to produce the goods against a Liverpool who have all hands back on deck and firing(?)… not to mention their desire to break into the top four again. If they can combine, Torres and Gerard should give Vidic and [...]
This week the lads at Heads or Tail take a look back and discuss the hot subject of the week, brutality. While Valladolid’s use of force on Portuguese pin-up boy Cristiano Ronaldo has generally been condemned in the media, their coach Onesimo claims CRon is a provocative player who got his justs worth… I’m claiming [...]
Expecting to get a result when you visit Camp Nou is almost as dangerous as bragging to a mob boss about your conquests a week ago with his 18yr old daughter and if you can somehow stay alive or manage to flee the planet after pulling off such a feat, you’re almost deserving of the [...]
Man I can’t wait for the ‘Special One’s’ Inter to waltz into Stamford Bridge tonight and walk into the next round of the Champions League… is it going to happen though, I’m actually not so sure and this is what I love about the UCL. So many unknowns, so many variables, so many theories. It’s [...]
While the lads at Heads or Tails reckon we’re stuck in a twilight zone; that being in August all Spanish media say the same thing: “A new era of football adorns us, ‘The Galacticos’ will dominate the world blah, blah, blah”… 6 months later those same Galacticos are no more revered as “terrestrial beings”, instead [...]
Predictions: Tottenham 2 v 1 Blackburn Birmingham 2 v 2 Everton Bolton 1 v 0 Wigan Burnley 1 v 1 Wolves Chelsea 4 v 0 West Ham Stoke City 1 v 1 Aston Villa Hull City 1 v 3 Arsenal Man Utd 2 v 0 Fulham Sunderland 1 v 3 Man City Liverpool 2 v [...]
While I gather my thoughts on last night’s amazing performances, the European madness continues tonight and it just wouldn’t be Europe without my lame attempt to predict the unpredictable outcomes of what can only be described as a place where anything can and will happen! So instead, think beautifully tanned women bathing topless, think greased [...]
I’m loving the amount of football being played all around the world at the moment, especially in Europe! So many matches all the time, it’s bloody fantastic I tells ya! What isn’t so fab though is Herpes… Herpes and UCL knock out football and just in similar fashion it’s almost impossible to shake off a [...]
For the third time in four years, Melbourne Victory will host the A-League Grand Final on home turf and for the uptinth time, much like a thorn in Sydney’s side Kevin Muscat had a part to play in the misery inflicted on the home side. His clever ball through the Sky Blues defense to Archie [...]
Mick McCarthy’s men put up a huge performance to keep a Rooney-less Manchester United at bay last night, that is until the ‘Ginger Ninja’ Paul Scholes popped up with a late knock-out blow. It’s no wonder rangas have no friends… they always do things when you least expect them too and like to dampen the [...]
Thanks to the lackadaisical nature of one Nicklas Bendtner and his quintuplet of missed chances around the 6yrd box, once again Arsenal made things a little difficult for themselves against visiting Burnley yesterday. Where they should have put this match beyond The Clarets’ grasp, they painstakingly kept it within reach and in doing so gave [...]
