Features
Feature articles are those pieces that you see on the front page of Soccerlens (with the provocative, funny and sometimes libelious pictures on the right). These articles are (supposedly) some of the best football blogging the world has ever seen.
You know what else is cool? Our best posts page. Best of the best of the best.
Gerrard & Torres? How about Yossi & Dirk?
It’s one of the most tiresome cliches in football these days, yet one that most in the public eye can unilaterally agree on. Liverpool, they say, are a team of two players. No argument. G&T, Stevie & Nando, Gerrard & Torres. Like the zonal marking debate, no conversation about Liverpool is complete without it. But…
West Ham To Win The Premier League?
As I write this I’m watching Everton lose to Fulham at Craven Cottage and as a Liverpool fan it puts absolute delight in my heart to see Everton in the bottom three. Of course, I know that they will not stay there because they are a fantastic team with a fantastic manager, but with five games…

Who are the best centre-backs in world football today?
The unadulterated thrill of witnessing a magical moment of attacking inspiration is what keeps many of us hooked on the beautiful game but let us never forget that at the heart of every great football team is always a truly world-class central defender. Red Rants interviewee and Manchester United ‘rock’ Nemanja Vidic unquestionably falls into…
Football’s Greatest Clubs
How does one go about measuring greatness in football? I mean real, obvious, blatant greatness; that rarest of qualities. Today “greatness” is such a woolly, over-used term that sometimes we lose its meaning and start labeling all sorts of mundane, workaday things as “great”. The evolution of language has distilled its meaning, reduced its potency,…
Fan Loyalty: Arsene Knows!
It was Mark Lawrenson who once said that he didn’t concern himself with the League Table until 10 or 12 games into the new season. Until then, Lawro suggested, no pattern has formed, as teams are finding their feet early on, often facing the challenge of introducing new players, managers or formations. Wise words indeed…
Ferguson on Eduardo – I’d have done the same as Arsene Wenger
Speaking to the press on Thursday at UEFA’s elite coaches forum, Alex Ferguson agreed that something has to be done to eradicate diving from the game and that UEFA took the decision on Eduardo to set a marker for the rest of the season. But while the Beeb would have you believe (along with a…

Talking ’bout a Revolution: New England heading for the playoffs
A few weeks ago I wrote a post examining the prospects of the most likely challengers for MLS Cup. By not mentioning New England Revolution, I had quietly written the off – quite logical, given their poor start and the continued absence of Taylor Twellman – and condemned them to a season of disappointment and…
Football Manager 2010 Features
There is a group out there. They are, well lets say, ‘lacking match practice’ in the art of actually playing sport, and well, ‘wonderkids’, and ‘model citizens’ at writing about their virtual careers, and raving on about a small bug that prevented his/her side from gaining the vital point needed. If you understood any of…
