Off The Record
If there’s something that must be said, but cannot be said within blogging / journalistic confines, this is the place to say it. We’ve used this column to poke fun, to provoke and to just say our minds.
Would you take on 200 children for charity?
… apparently, Athletic Bilbao will. The Spanish side took on 200 hyperactive children right after completing a rather decent season finishing seven points above Atletico Madrid at 8th position on the table. It is kind of hard to imagine how it would be like to play any football at all with 200 children running around…
Hand of Dog, WAG’s Pies and England’s 2018 World Cup Bid
With all the (predictably) negative publicity the English media as given England’s 2018 World Cup bid, it’s good to see something creative, entertaining and fun to share come out of the woodworks ‘supporting’ the bid. npower, also the official energy provider to Wembley stadium, has launched a new TV ad to support the FA’s ‘Back…
Nike Football: Take the Stage for South Africa 2010
This summer Nike will be sending one lucky competition winner to South Africa together with Tinchy Stryder and Anton Ferdinand. Who the hell is Tinchy Stryder?

Adebayor is the … Power Horse?
Signing Emmanuel Adebayor to be the face of an energy drink whose name signifies ‘hard work’ is akin to hiring Carlos Tevez as the poster child for a teaching English ad. Even then, it’s a fair enough idea. Adebayor is a big deal in Africa and his endorsement would go a long way in popularising…

Email: I would like to join Arsenal FC…
We get one of these emails every week it seems, where a young footballer (invariably from Africa, although not always from Nigeria) asks us to ‘give him a chance’ and scout him / bring him over to play football for our club (no, there’s no Soccerlens FC, yet). I wonder if any other bloggers get…

Chelsea To Win The Premier League?
I haven’t done this in a while, but since the season is winding down I thought it would be interesting to once again take a look at how things were shaping up one year ago today in the Premier League. In the past, I predicted that West Ham would win the league and that Portsmouth would…
View from the Stands: Liverpool and Birmingham City fans discuss upcoming match
Quick! Name the team that’s been the most pleasant surprise of the Premier League season? If you answered Tottenham, you’d be wrong. Most figured they were on the cusp of breaking into the top four or five in the league. No, the team that’s shocked people more than any other this year has to be…
