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.
Saskia Boxford hits the Lamp
Daughter of the financier and working for accessories company Kara Ross, Saskia Boxford has landed in the world of WAGs. She was seen with the Chelsea ace Frank Lampard a number of times in March 2009. Saskia is employed and has her own money but she’s well-bred enough to be the marrying kind. But that…
Capello’s England Squad – Filling in the blanks
Fabio Capello is not one to give too much away, his demeanour surly enough for ITV’s Clive Tyldsley to describe the Italian as “old poker face” during last night’s dead-rubber win over Belarus at Wembley. But prior to the game, the England manager had given the story-writers plenty to work with by suggesting that his…
England & the 2010 World Cup
1966 was a great year, or so I’m told by those of an age able to remember it. It has been a long time since England lifted the highest honour in International football, too long in fact, and many have been brave enough to predict South Africa will be the location for the Three Lions…
England qualify in style but let’s not assume the trophy’s coming home just yet
England qualifications are not used to happen this way. Where was the last-gasp heroic goal, the nervous, stuttering qualification that went down to the wire, the sharpening of knives for the manager? Where was the unconvincing qualification, overlooked as assorted players and journalists chest-thumped that, having qualified, England could go onto win it, fooling nobody…

About time Fat Frank became Fab Frank
He combines quality with the quality of being effective which evades so many others.
Chelsea v Liverpool – Bravo!
Barcelona v Chelsea. The sentence no Liverpool fan wanted to hear this morning, even though most expected to. So the European season for Liverpool has ended prior to the semi final stage for only the second time in five seasons after last night’s incredible 4-4 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, but the memories of…
Hiddink does the business as Chelsea take control
Anfield fell silent, save for a euphoric pocket of travelling supporters in the Anfield Road End. All around were blank faces or heads obscured by hands, jackets, hoods and just about any other object that could be found to mask the pain. Rafa Benitez made a desperate, and futile, attempt to get someone’s attention on…
The 2008 Soccerlens All-Star XI – The Best Footballers of 2008
For those of us who are consumed by football every year brings new thrills and disappointments, a million what ifs and if onlys and ultimately a feeling of elation, satisfaction or despair, depending on where our unfailing loyalties lie. We laugh and cry, argue and debate, get over-emotional and sometimes regret what we say but…
