Chelsea throw their toys at Avram

Well, what a cup final last Sunday, old square jawed Spanish miracle worker Ramos (El Brick jaw) winning the London Final against the West End sulkers. I’m not the biggest fan of Chelsea or Tottenham but found that I was rooting for the front wheel skids when in extra time (I hope my boys ain’t reading this). It made a refreshing change to see someone other than the big 4 get their hands on some silverware.

Are the FA a bunch of pompous old fools?

Jeremie Aliadiere’s sending off against Liverpool must surely go down as the most ludicrous sending off the Premiership has ever seen. An accolade previously owned by Billy the Badger, Fulham’s break dancing mascot, Aliadiere was sent-off for gently brushing Liverpool’s Javier Mascherano’s face in the 3-2 defeat on Saturday this as a retaliation to Mascherano putting his hand up to his face, which apparently the referee had seen!?

Spurs winning the Carling Cup was the best thing to happen in years

“You hear people say the Carling Cup doesn’t mean anything – but you try telling that to the players in our dressing room. You can tell by their faces what it means to them. Every year we put a strong side out. It is hard to say, but Tottenham deserved it.”
John Terry – 25.2.2008

Positive thinking for Arsenal star

Arsenal hope to have Eduardo back within 9 months. He should be up and running again in six months.

The Croatia striker who cost the Gunners £7.5 m says he is determined to make a quick return to the game after undergoing surgery for the horrific injury he suffered at St Andrews on Saturday.

Have the Gunners lost more than another striker?

In the space of a week, Arsenal have gone from Premiership favourites to a side in mini crisis. A 4-0 hammering at the hands of their biggest rivals was followed by an inability to see off an unadventurous AC Milan side in the Champions League. The events at St Andrews were surreal to say the least. Martin Taylor’s horrific challenge on Eduardo was only the tip of the ice berg.

Are we heading for another Chelsea v Man Utd final?

Alan Taylor, Ian Porterfield, Lawrie Sanchez, Roger Osborne, Ricardo Villa, Keith Houchen, the late Bobby Stokes, the list goes on. FA Cup Final goal-scoring heroes who have their names carved into the memories of everyone who sat down to watch the big game every year. Players who caused the upsets, or scored the classics that we still talk about today.

Tea and buns all round

Surprise surprise, the FA have said get stuffed to Scooby Doo’s stupendous proposal to play Premier League games abroad.

In a meeting at Soho Square with tea and buns, the FA told the Premier League that their plan was absolute twaddle. We all knew this of course.

Are we stifling English talent?

With the Champions league about to kick back into action tonight, once again the big four (I’m getting a little tired of that phrase) will fly the flag for England.

So how many English players to you think will be taking part? Approximately 12, maybe less, so that’s more or less 1 quarter of the staring line up. So how has it come to this?

The ego is back

England’s worst manager since Graham ‘you’ve just lost me my job’ Taylor is desperate to return to club management.

Steve McClaren is a man with as much charisma as a toilet roll, yet an ego to match the special one himself.

Bonjourno Mama,

What have I done? They are terrible, really awful. I said before I came here that this would be my toughest ever job. After a month of being over here I know it will be. I thought this country gave the world football. Now all they do is give the ball away. I miss you Italia!
