Premier League Predictions
January 28th, 2008 at 12:55 am by Mystical Mike

Arsenal V Newcastle

As a great philosopher once said, ‘It’s my life take it or leave it’. Keegan revealed it was Doctor Alban who inspired him to give it one more go. Two games in, no wins, no goals but plenty of love. Unfortunately love doesn’t win you trophies. Speaking of winning trophies, Arsenal seriously need to win one themselves this season, a welcome 3 points should further their cause.

Prediction 2-0

Is Theo Walcott still the future of English football?
January 26th, 2008 at 12:39 pm by Matt Quinn

Theo Walcott is reportedly available for a loan move to another premiership club. The same Theo Walcott that Arsene Wenger spent £5m (rising to £12m) on just 2 years ago. The same Theo Walcott who was the surprise inclusion in Sven Goran Eriksson’s World Cup squad in 2006. The same Theo Walcott who was tipped as the future of England. A pretty spectacular fall, although it’s probably unfair to call it such a thing, as he is still only 18 years old. This hasn’t stopped the newspapers and journalists from writing off his fledging career already. The same journalists who had hailed him as the messiah and saviour for Eriksson’s pedestrian England team.

Fed up of Arsene Wenger’s inability to see the truth
January 25th, 2008 at 1:54 pm by Mystical Mike

I did not see it!

I don’t want to sit here and bang on about how great Tottenham were and how Arsenal were beaten soundly by the better team. I also don’t want to drone on about the fact that they had Hleb, Gallas and Sagna on for the whole game, Fabregas on for three quarters of it, Eduardo and Adebayor on for a third of it (when Spurs had taken off Keane, Berbatov and Lennon) and the fact that, bar Traore and Fabianski, all of the players have premier league experience and therefore there was no 2nd string out on Tuesday night and no excuse for being completely annihilated.

The 26th Africa Cup Of Nations
January 22nd, 2008 at 12:02 am by Dexy Longshot

The prophecy according to Dexy

Right, first things first, I’ve just landed and it is hotter than my Mickey Mouse Rolex. I lost a stone just stepping of the plane, I even had to unbutton the sheepskin! But i’m here in Africa safe and sound and have been getting the low-down on this entire African Nations lark. Get your notebook and Nigel Benn out and get scribbling (well you do wanna make some wonga, don’t you?)

The Problem with Liverpool is Steven Gerrard
January 20th, 2008 at 1:33 pm by Matt Quinn

Why Liverpool will never win the Premier League

At their first press conference, Tom Hicks and George Gillett came across as a pair of bumbling idiots, cut from the same cloth as George W Bush. “If Rafa said he wanted to buy Snoogy Doogy we would back him” stated Gillett. Brilliant. Either Gillett is a comic genius, light years ahead of the rest of the population or he’s a complete buffoon. I’m going to plump for the latter and I don’t think there are many people who will argue.

Keegan – A Fool or a God?
January 16th, 2008 at 6:24 pm by Martin Tibbetts

There are more than a few old adages in football – ‘number twos don’t make good number ones’, ‘it only takes a second to score a goal’, ‘never employ David Pleat’ and so on, but one that has particular resonance right now is the ever popular ‘Never Go Back’.

Kevin Keegan clearly doesn’t heed such adages, as today he has agreed to return to St James’ Park, the scene of his greatest days as a manager. I am today also about to ignore the same adage, as I am going back to the bookies, to bet on Newcastle being relegated.
