Frank Lampard
Frank Lampard – former West Ham player, now plays for Chelsea and is one of the best midfielders in the Premiership, despite what his critics say. In my view, he plays far too much football and should take breaks – plus he’s never found the right manager or the tactical approach to help him do well on the international stage since 2004/2005.
That’s a pitty, because the Chelsea Lampard could do wonders for England.
Frank Lampard Chelsea Wallpaper
A nice football wallpaper featuring Frank Lampard from this season. He’s wearing the new Chelsea shirt, which looks really good in the wallpaper. There is not much detailing on the background and there’s not much work done to blend in the render with the background either. The brushes used are a bit random, but do…
Can Chelsea And England Manage Without Frank Lampard?
Can Chelsea and England manage without Frank Lampard?

The Chelsea Juggernaut rolls on
Two games played. Two games won. 12 goals scored. Fine, they only beat West Brom and Wigan (two favorites for the drop) but they didn’t even get into second gear to ease six goals past the aforementioned teams. The Community Shield was simply a blip for them, as many of their stars were only returning from…
Ten Premier League Milestones
1. Manchester United are only six points short of earning 1500 in the Premier League. With an average of 2.15 points per game, Alex Ferguson’s side are unsurprisingly the most successful team in the league’s 17-year history. 2. Kevin Davies needs to commit 34 more fouls to take his Premier League career total to 800….

England’s World Cup – Pointing the finger

The likes of Ashley Cole, Stephen Gerrard and Wayne Rooney are but three names within the star-studded squad that look to both excite the Rainbow nation and bring the…
Old England’s last chance for World Cup glory?
Last Chance for the England Chieftains? At one point Terry, Lampard, Gerrard and now Ferdinand have all held the captaincy yet all four are likely playing their last World Cup ever. Will this incite a mid-life-crisis-esque meltdown or provide swan song cup winning motivation? It struck me as I was glancing through this England team…

England 2010 World Cup Squad: The Final Cut
Although it is yet to be officially announced by the Football Association (at the time of publication), it would appear that the seven awkward “it’s not you, it’s me…” phone calls have been made and – after several hours of water-torture style press leakage – we can at last piece together the final draft of…
