Eighteen months and 12 qualifying games have passed since the FA last appointed an England manager. I would love to say it was a brilliant, successful appointment but I cannot. I would love to say the FA went out and made sure we got the right man for the job, I cannot.

November 29th, 2007 at 12:32 pm by Dexy Longshot

This week’s Longshot comes in at a handsome 9-1 for a 2 horse race which in my little black book is always worth a nicker. The winning horse this week though, will be wearing the claret and blue of West Ham and nudging the West End Chelsea boys into 2nd place by a nose (even if it is Avram’s conk.)

Slaven Bilic was always a touch above a decade ago when he plied his trade at the Boleyn & Goodison Park. Harry Redknapp said he was one of the most intelligent men he had ever met what with his numerous, CSE’s & Law degrees and his best ever signing (after Marco Boogers). He was outstanding [...]

So McClaren has finally gone, though it took the reality of a barren summer for all of us before the FA would wield the axe. We all knew he wasn’t up to the job from the start, but as usual the FA thought they knew better, and now the price has been paid.

Every 4 years the Rugby World Cup comes along and football, for once, takes a bit of a back seat as the nation’s favourite sport. Now I am a season ticket holder at a Premiership club and love my football. However, I am a passionate rugby fan as well who does enjoy watching the Rugby [...]

Playing for a mid-table place
November 7th, 2007 at 3:26 am by James Baker

I’ve often considered Tottenham to be one of the most pointless teams in the land and now they, quite literally are. 10 games in, 1 win.
The last two seasons at White Hart Lane has seen a change in the fortunes and ambitions of Tottenham Hotspur. For so long, they were massive underachievers. The Premiership began [...]
