The Times‘s 50 Worst Things About Modern Football

The Times‘s 50 Worst Things About Modern Football

Football is one of the greatest things in the world but it’s not perfect. It used to be perfect. Before money and television and the Bosman ruling and Baby Bentleys and roastings and tattoos and takeovers and no standing and agents and prawn sandwiches and rotation. English newspaper The Times takes a stab at the…

Newcastle snap up Kevin Nolan, but where does that leave Bolton?

I was a little surprised to see Kevin Nolan agree a four and a half year deal at Newcastle after arriving in a £4million deal from Bolton Wanderers.  The 26-year-old midfielder was Bolton’s captain and regarded by some as ‘Mr Bolton’ after breaking through their youth system and rising through the ranks to become captain. …

Transfer Rumors (30 Jan 09): Ronaldo in 91m Real deal, Arsenal and Manchester City talk Toure, Tottenham offer Bent to Blackburn for Santa Cruz, and more

We’re into the final stretch of the January transfer window, and while signings have been relatively light up to this point, we’ll be seeing a lot more confirmed deals (and probably just as much speculation) over the next few days.

The Worst Football Teams of All Time

Zidane watches on as France begin their dismal 2002 campaign

We gave you the Greatest Teams of All Time. Now, it’s time for the worst! Without further ado, let’s go over the criteria that I used: Expectations are Everything. Look at it this way. If you’re from Luxembourg, and you know that the only way you’re qualifying for the Euros is if you’re hosting it,…

Tottenham and Manchester City resuscitate the January transfer window

Bellamy - how much is 14m to City anyway?

So the circus is nearly over. We can almost revert back to picking up a newspaper and reading about injuries and “bust-ups”, goals and “romps”, rather than the usual regurgitation of half-baked half-truths that the tabloids, and actually the broadsheets too, dish up on a daily basis. The January transfer window has always grated with…

Transfer Rumors (29 Jan 09): Tottenham bid for long-time Manchester City target Santa Cruz, Real Madrid and Manchester United tussle for Wigan star Valencia, Arshavin’s Arsenal deal almost done, and more

The clock is tick-tick-ticking, and the end of the January transfer window is one day closer. If you haven’t signed that top target by now, you need to get a move on, because just like the month has flown by, Monday evening will be here before you know it. With the futures of several big…

Football fork – January 2007 – Liverpool bought by the DIC group

Good times for Rafa and Liverpool...

About ten years ago Nick Hancock co-wrote a book called What Didn’t Happen Next, which was an amusing look at the butterfly effect in football and those little changes which might have rewritten the annals of football. What if Southgate had scored his penalty at Euro 1996? What if Gordon Banks hadn’t had food poisoning…

The Curious Case of Rafa Benitez

As Liverpool fan, by matter of routine, the familiar tune of Sky Sports News tells me of the latest bust up or disagreement between Rafa, who may or may not like Rick, but doesn’t like George, although he definitely likes Tom (not sure if he likes George or Rick, as it goes). Sounds silly, doesn’t…

A Loss of Identity

Danny Welbeck - future Manchester United star

When Danny Welbeck scored a thirty-yard screamer against Stoke earlier this season (albeit the fifth goal of a 5-0 trouncing), he immediately became my favorite player on Manchester United. The eighteen-year-old English striker piqued my interest not because he is an integral member of the United first team (in fact, he has primarily featured in…
