Typical! Florentino Perez had to go and make the two biggest purchases of the year while I was away on a much needed break! Ok, so we all knew the Kaka transfer was going to happen, but can you imagine how I felt when I tuned into the wireless to hear that C-Ron had made [...]
I’m really not one for transfer speculation tripe… hence my very, very delayed post this week… plus the weather’s been hitting 40+deg Celsius in the desert of late so like most normal peaople in scortching weather, I’ve been winding down for the off season / transfer season and whilst sitting pretty getting ready for a [...]
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, [...]
Barca won their first of three potential pieces of silverware last night, even though it took them a little while to wake up and get firing. This isn’t really a good for them, especially with Man-Utd lurking in the bushes, waiting, watching sizing up the slow and the weak… and well Barca’s defense is a [...]
After only his second official game in charge of the Argenitne team, Maradona’s men suffered their biggest defeat in world football since 1945… ah, that Maradona, he really is a special guy! [ESPN] Got an injured player? Send them to Australia and Pim’s medical team will fix’em right up… that’s ok Moyes, no thanks required! [...]
I’m not really a fan of international breaks, especially during the few days leading up to them; I mean there’s only so many ways to retell the same ‘ol story, so I’ll tell you what really boils my blood instead. Being sold a heap of self-righteous hype by a so-called kit “designer”… oh and on [...]
If results go their way, the Socceroos could be one of the first teams to qualify for South Africa [TWG] …but does qualifying so early hold as much significance as having it all come down to a gripping two match playoff, with penalties to decide the winner? [Watch this]… it doesn’t even come close! Armani, [...]
The F1 GP is getting ready to rip-roar through the city of Melbourne this weekend and there are going to be a load of media shindigs to attend. So why not get in on the action I hear you ask? Well it’ll be hard to beat Melbourne Victory’s favourite lemon, Danny Allsopp, cause like an [...]
If this really is England’s new kit, then consider me the next kit designer for Umbro or the new King of Football kit designs… and I’ve never designed anything in fabric! [EPL Talk] New kit teaser: In true Australian fashion, Ben Buckley should tell the other Asian nations competing for the 2018 & 2022 World [...]
It’s being dubbed the “biggest and most watched sporting even in the world”, so why aren’t the locals excited by WC2010?… I’m not really looking forward to the tournament next year… cheap bastards! [Football365] What better way to celebrate your club’s first Cope del Rey final appearance since 1985 than by simulating a sex act [...]
I’ve had so much on the past few days, I didn’t know if I was coming or going today… and by the looks of things neither did the ‘A-leaguearoos’. In my hectic state, I didn’t get to watch the match and completely forgot to predict the scores too, so if anyone is interested in describing [...]
Shhh… listen carefully… can you hear that? No, I didn’t think so… that’s the sound the England fans made at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in Seville last night after a dissapointing match by the visitors. Leading up to the game, both teams were in form with Eng-err-land unbeaten in 5 and España unbeaten in [...]
An assist and a moment of brilliance by the feather-foot Robinho gave Brazil a morale boosting win over World Champs Italy overnight… but more importantly did you see Robinho’s feet once he got into the box… I sure as hell didn’t and neither did the Italian defenders! His body was still, but his legs were [...]
Yawn! Oh, someone wake me when it’s over… ah, it is! So that’s it, 0-0… well I guess it’s better than a loss but man this match was as boring as bat-shit. And to the 90,000 fans who were expecting Kewell and got Cole, well I hope you weren’t too disappointed… good effort, but maybe [...]
A diet Socceroo team has been selected to play against an Indonesian team that’s been in training for the last month and in front of what will be a hostile crowd of anything up to 90,000 fans. Yikes! I don’t fancy our chances: These are the best Australian players in the A-League at the moment [...]
