“The Incredible Sulk”

Has the ego finally landed?

You won’t like him when he’s angry! There is no sign of experimentation into the field of inner human strength or even a sniff of excess gamma exposure. To have his shirt rip could only ever come from a-would be challenging defender that got a little to hands on whilst dancing the penalty area tussle! Len Goodman surely would gift him a “9!” with Mr Revell-Horwood coming in with a “strictly must work harder 6!” Who is he? Champs Elise Rodders! It is, of course, Nicholas Anelka.

Manchester’s Millions

Spending big does not mean success!

After watching the (fairly) entertaining Hull City v Manchester City game I got to thinking about the two stars of the game and how much they cost their teams to purchase.

Hull City’s most consistent player so far this season must be the Brazilian, Geovanni. His deflected free kick helped to earn his Tigers a point at home against the Sky Blues over the weekend. Geovanni is comparatively well traveled for a 28 year old.

England cruise to victory

Fabio Capello’s England made it five wins from five with a dominant display in Berlin and in the process forcing your author to get a plate and put some words on it.

Maradona - We hate you (still)
November 19th, 2008 at 7:00 am by Dexy Longshot

Es para volverse loco.

If you had to name the team you think will win the next World Cup, who would it be? I hate to say it but for me, at least on paper, I’d go for Argentina every time… that was until they appointed their new manager. When I clocked the news that Diego Maradona was taking over, I almost wet my strides! The squad with arguably the most gifted group of players in world football are being taken over by the Latin lunatic. THIS IS FANTASTIC NEWS!!!!!!!!

Gallas is an undercover spy?

Proof is in the cookie

Picture this boring scenario: I’ve cooked up a basket of homemade cookies—very tasty homemade cookies, in fact—after spending years honing the recipe, tweaking and adjusting and swapping the ingredients, and now somebody’s interested in purchasing one of them. Only ONE of them, but there are already some people interested in my other cookies so it’s OK. This man asks how much for Cookie Cole, and I tell him fifty pence. The man says to me, “I’ll give you twenty-five pence plus a half-eaten apple pie.” Now this offends me. I’ve spent years making sure this cookie is worthy of a place on the England table of biscuits and snacks, and this man offers me a half-eaten apple pie?

Premier League weekend review
November 17th, 2008 at 8:32 am by Chris Rivers

Goals galore!

Another busy weekend of Premier League action saw few upsets and a return to form for three of the big four whilst the bottom half of the table was rotated once again with everyone still left wondering if a smaller number of relegation candidates will ever be cut away rather than everyone from 6th down to 20th looking over their shoulder.

Battersea Ironsides GSA 6 Shirley Town 1

We were beginning to get a little worried as UKFF’s official team couldn’t buy a win. But 2 weeks in football is a long time. Since late October the Irons have scored 13 goals conceding 3. This week they entertained Shirley Town in the Junior League Cup Round 2 and here’s what happened.

The downfall of Soccer AM
November 16th, 2008 at 1:02 pm by Matt Quinn

Fight bland and back Brand

Saturday mornings used to be so enjoyable. Turn the TV on. Switch over to Sky Sports and tune in for the best dose of hangover TV known to man. Soccer AM.

One half of Sky’s luxurious flagship Saturday schedule. The other half being the most spectacular example of visual simplicity possible. Gillette Soccer Saturday, hosted by the brilliant Jeff Stelling, featuring 4 blokes sitting around a desk talking about football, while watching games that the viewer can’t see.
