West Ham’s Tevez - kid brother is dodgy too!

Tevez’s trouble keep building; first he winds up everyone at his old club so they are glad to be rid of him, then he can’t find a club before the transfer window ends so he ends up at West Ham, then his apartment is too small for his entourage, then he can’t score, then he [...]

Rafa’s title bid in tatters by September

We all know that its only October, and the league isn’t decided until the Fat Lady sings (Oh, how we miss Delia), but there is another incontrovertible truth, that if you want to win the Premiership you can only afford to lose five games.  By the end of September Rafa had lost three of those [...]

Bung Inquiry - some clubs safe, but what about Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Newcastle, etc?

Just how comprehensive is the Lord Steven’s inquiry going to be?  Its clear that there was a lot of information to sift through, and there has been difficulty in obtaining even the most basic information. 
Out of 150 agents initially contacted, less than half (65) have so far replied.  Maybe they feel that if they ignore [...]

The Liverpool Echo has forgotten about Dudek already!

Peter Crouch has had his pad smashed up by scumbag burglars.  The Liverpool Echo reports (link at the bottom of this article) that Crouch is the latest footballer to be targeted, and lists the other Merseyside footballers who have also been hit; Van der Meyde and Wayne Rooney’s parents (a tenuous link at best).
But somehow the Echo [...]

Did the Linesman beat Liverpool or was it Bolton?

When Everton were denied a victory, and a return to the top of the Premiership, by a dodgy linesman’s (I can’t call them assistant refs, because they don’t assist!) decision at Newcastle, no doubt many Liverpool fans were laughing up their sleeves, but today when Liverpool went behind to yet another dodgy linesman decision, they may have [...]

Arsene Wenger disappointed about something…

Arsene Wenger has found something else to moan about.  Not content with slagging off clubs for the Englishness of their ownership, he’s now having a go at the international break which he claims is “unacceptable”.
Mr Wenger said, “It is terrible, the international teams play Saturday and Wednesday and when they come back we do not [...]

Zokora dive gives Tottenham an undeserved win over Arsenal old boys

A nervous Tottenham finally get a win, but it was only a cheating dive from an otherwise excellent Zokora that gave them all the points.
If the FA really want to do something about cleaning up the game they should start with penalising Zokora.  As it is I don’t think they will do anything, other than [...]

Manchester City’s Barton gets a bum rap from Everton fans

We all know that Joey Barton is a knob, yesterday he proved he’s an arse as well!  But did the Everton fans really have to make complaints about him to the Police?
Everton fans know more than anyone that the police should shouldn’t get involved with football.  The police deciding that whilst he was at Rangers, the [...]
