The Watford Way: Attack really can be the best form of defence
Most teams are cautious when playing the teams near the top of the division. They are respectful. They get men back in numbers. Watford, on the other hand, just go for it.. And after a 3-1 win over QPR and a 4-1 win against Cardiff, it seems to be working rather well. Nobody really expected the…
England’s dismal performance against France reminded me of Championship football
I can’t remember the last time I watched a football game where I have been so frustrated and disappointed at the way my team performed, whether it’s club or country, and that speaks volume when I admit I’m a Crystal Palace fan. Being a fan of the Championship, this article is in no way aimed…
A Defining Fortnight Ahead for Ipswich Boss Keane
Ipswich Town boss Roy Keane is again under fire from supporters following Saturday’s embarassing defeat at home to Barnsley.

Scarlet stripped, based in a working class northern area and having travelled to finals in Europe this century, the similarities are far from limited. However, where Liverpool have suffered strife at…
England Urged To ‘Look At’ Cardiff Forward Bothroyd
Cardiff City manager Dave Jones believes Jay Bothroyd is worth a “look at” for an England international call-up, after the striker’s superb performance in the latest Severnside derby against Bristol City. Cardiff, who currently lie second in the Championship, were two goals down within nine minutes against rock-bottom side Bristol, but made a magnificent comeback…
Liverpool’s Melodrama Is Just The Tip Of The Dog Turd
Whereas I have to admit that Liverpool’s ongoing takeover saga has provided good copy since their boardroom civil war broke out nine days ago, it’s probably fairly safe to say that we (that is, those of us that have no real vested interest in the outcome of chronicles) are now heartily sick to the sodding…

Bristol City have today announced the season-long loan of Tottenham Hotspur youngster Steven Caulker. The 19 year-old defender has been allowed to join the Championship side for the rest of the season which see’s him join fellow parent-team-mate Danny Rose at Ashton Gate.
