Just when things don’t seem to be able to get any worse for Birmingham City and Steve Bruce they come up against a resurgent Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter finals and see the shot-shy European Champions hammer then for seven without reply to ease their way into the semi-finals.
Steve Bruce must be tearing his [...]
The link I posted the other day showing those great World Cup goals through time fired my imagination (or plagiarism, delete as applicable) so I’ll be posting an occasional series of some of my own favourite goals from the World Cup as we head into summer and the World Cup 2006 in Germany.

In unnaturally optimistic mood the FA have put forward Wembley as a contender to host the final of the Champion’s League in 2008. Facing stiff competition from grounds on the continent such as Rome’s Olympic Stadium, Milan’s San Siro, Seville’s Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium and Lisbon’s Stadium of Light (still the original and best Sunderland fans;-) [...]

As his long time friend Celtic hero Jimmy Johnstone was laid to rest in Glasgow yesterday, Portugal legend Eusebio has told of how Jinky was always asking him to come to Scotland and link up together playing for Celtic,

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger’s attempt at a rebuttal over the growing press speculation that Thierry Henry has agreed a gentleman’s agreement to join Barcelona in the summer hasn’t seemed to have had the desired effect with bookies making the Gooner’s talisman more likely to be appearing at the Nou Camp next season than the Emirates [...]
The Scottish Football Association and Scottish clubs have been warned that any sectarian chanting from their supporters could lead to points deductions and possibly relegation under FIFA’s new hardline disciplinary measures against racism.
