Has Paul Jewell accused Benitez, Wenger, Ferguson and Mourinho of match fixing?

In today’s BBC, Paul Jewell has come out with a remarkable statement.  In talking about his ongoing spat with Phil Dowd he stated:
“We can’t as a club say we don’t want him but I know a certain club that has asked,” he told the Daily Mail.
“I know they didn’t have him when they should have […]

Manchester United fans injured in crush - how could this be allowed to happen?

I watched the scenes at Stade Felix-Bollaert with a sickening feeling of dread in my stomach.  They brought back with frightening intensity those images of Hillborough back in 1989.  I’m not a Liverpool supporter, but I had family and friends at that game and could only watch in stunned disbelief at what I saw unfolding before […]

Liverpool - Riise out for Barcelona Trip!

Apparently he’s feeling a bit below par and has a problem with his legs, he’s got a hole in one, and he has got a fairway to go before he’s better.
Of course, he reckons Bellamy is driving him mad and that he has a huge chip on his shoulder, although that might be putting it mildly.
He […]

Maybe Benitez should look to Riise to solve the riddle of the Battle of the Algarve?

Bellamy has been branded the bad boy over the recent incident in the Algarve, and while there is no excuse for him to attack a colleague, especially with a golf club, there have been some rumblings that he was provoked and goaded by Riise’s astonishing and sustained abuse earlier in the evening.  Could it be that for once, Bellamy […]

Liverpool players handcuffed by Police after drunken rampage in Portugal.

The following was reported by Portugal’s Record.  It seems that trouble has a habit of following Liverpool around.
Liverpool’s last night in the Algarve, where they trained this last week, was quite troubled. Several players were involved in shameful events that only ended when the authorities intervened around 4am on Friday.
Acording to witnesses the players used […]

Wigan upset, but will Mourinho, Benitez, Wenger and even Manchester United’s Ferguson be the real losers in Paul Jewell’s war of words?

Paul Jewell had every right to be upset over Phil Dowd’s decision making at the weekend.  It may very well have cost him three points, although to blame Mr Dowd for Wigan’s potential relegation is a bit tenuous - I think the other 14 games Wigan have lost so far this season will have contributed more […]

Liverpool - the New Chelsea?

Tom and George, have finally bought Liverpool Football Club, but what would it mean to the club itself and its fans?
Liverpool fans, perhaps with a touch of jealousy, have derided Chelsea’s recent achievements suggesting that they have merely “bought the title” with Roman’s riches.  They say the club has no history or no honour because they went […]

Liverpool, a club with no honour, and now with little respect as they are held by Everton

The Al Maktoum family recently accused Liverpool Football Club of acting dishonourably after they had shook hands on a deal with David Moores only to find that the deal was “un-agreed” at the next Board meeting of the club, following an improved offer from the Gillett consortium.  Personally I doubt that money was the prime […]
