Manchester City v Middlesbrough, the view from cheap seats

Stuart Pearce and Gareth Southgate are two ex-England defenders, both of whom have missed vital World Cup penalties and who have subsequently made the move into management and who are still to prove themselves.  But that’s where the similarities end.  Pearce is a lively and emotional figure on the touchline, wearing his tracksuits, and shouting at […]

Will the unknown Director, Benitez and Gerrard all just shut up!

At the weekend, Rafa and his Liverpool team answered their critics in the best possible way.  Liverpool not only won convincingly at home, they did so against a Villa side that had been unbeaten and with three great goals.  So will the “unknown” director who is getting on Rafa’s case please shut up!
I’m not a Liverpool […]

Bringing back West Ham United’s bubble

Last night was a new low for Hammers fans.  Not just losing to Chesterfield but losing eight straight games in a row, something they hadn’t done for almost three quarters of a century.  It must be really frustrating for the fans to sit there and watch this week in and week out, and no doubt […]

Liverpool - Player Gossip

Its seems that a certain stropy Liverpool player was out on the town on Saturday night telling anyone who’d listen what he thinks of other members of the club.  Apparently he’s already fallen out with Rafa and he can’t stand Gerrard….mmmmm… I wonder who it could be?

Liverpool to become the new Chelsea? What would Wenger say?

Dubai Holdings, the Dubai state investment arm is once again looking to buy Liverpool Football Club, this time it could be succesful, but what would it mean to the club?
Liverpool fans, perhaps with just a touch of jealousy, have derided Chelsea’s recent achievements suggesting that they have merely “bought the title” with Roman’s riches.  They […]

Tottenham’s Defoe bites back

Goal hungry Jermain Defoe has defended himself for biting Javier Mascherano, claiming the media had “bitten off more than it could chew” in trying to make a story out of incident. 
The striker who is yet to score from open play for Spurs this season bit the arm of West Ham’s Argentinian during Spurs’ 1-0 win, although it […]

Liverpool - safe from relegation?

Ok, its a bit tongue in cheek, but seriously, if any other team had such an abysmal away record then they would be worrying about relegation.  I reckon that the only reason that Liverpool aren’t in the Relegation zone is the effect of the twelfth man (the crowd) at their home games.
You could argue that […]

Goalkeeper Protection; Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton and Tottenham solutions

Following Petr  Cech’s head injury there have been calls for the use of Helmets by Goal Keepers.  For who remember David James’s afro, its clear that this is just ridiculous, his afro that is.
 But various sports designers have been putting together some suggested designs that are targetted to specific keepers or clubs.
 
The Pepe Reina, to reflect his […]

Manchester United and Chelsea stars and the rest of England team need to earn our respect

Rooney is at it again, having previously been singled out by Everton fans for his willingness to follow the money, now he is being picked on by the England fans for his lack of passion.
In the light of all the abuse he finally snapped and stuck two fingers up to one guy.  Ok, not a major […]

Tottenham’s Robinson - England’s Villan? …or Hero?

Last night was awful.  We looked uncomfortable all over the pitch, and never really looked like breaking down Croatia, but to go two goals down due to mistakes by Robinson was unforgivable.  Looks like Billic was right, Robinson was our weakest link, ….goodbye!
But hang on a minute, yes Robinson let in two awful goals, but […]
