Chris Kirkland is the answer to England’s No. 1 question
Titus Bramble should be given a place in the next England squad. Those were the bold words of Wigan keeper Chris Kirkland following his team’s weekend victory against Sunderland. An audacious view in many minds, but what about the keeper himself? Surely he should feel hard done to if he is not standing in the…
Making Sense Of The Beckham-Milan-Galaxy Arrangement
So…David Beckham will be playing for Milan this season as they stumble towards the finish line hoping that the front two will stumble even more.

Football fork — May 6 2006 — Spurs boys skip lasagne, have a curry, qualify for Champions League
How could the pre-match ritual of a night in the Marriott before a big London fixture go so terribly wrong for Tottenham?

What if Southgate had scored his penalty at Euro 1996? What if Gordon Banks hadn’t had food poisoning…
David Beckham: Professionalism Personified
As I watched him both before, during, and after the game tonight in Rome, one has to marvel at the professionalism of this man. He hasn’t played competitive football since November, yet he played virtually the entire game tonight at the Stadio Olimpico against AS Roma. The teams drew, 2 x 2. According to Panini…
