Who are the ‘Best Players’ in the World? Is John Terry one of them?
Who is the best footballer in the World? Whilst it would be hard to argue with the fact Critiano Ronaldo had the best season, I don’t agree this necessarily makes him the most skilful player on the planet. At United, I’d much rather see Wayne Rooney on the park than Ronaldo. I would find it…
What would it take for you to leave your dream club?
The majority of us have one. A personal vendetta with a man you’ve never met. A man who could not have done much worse had he slept with your wife. These are the players that rinse your club for every last penny. The players that see your club as a stepping stone or proclaim their…
Man in a corner shop nails Liverpool impressions
This guy is superb. Quite why he is making a name for himself as a guy in a hoodie standing in front of a box of Cornflakes and not on the TV we don’t know. He reels off some excellent impressions of Rafa Benitez, Steven “Yeerrrm” Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Michael Owen and Peter Crouch. The…
Lee Sharpe: The Soccerlens interview
Manchester United fans from the start of the 1990s will probably remember Lee Sharpe. Arsenal fans of that era will probably remember him too, albeit in a less enthusiastic manner.

Owen will be back for England
There’s been a lot of talk about the omission of Michael Owen from the England squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Belarus but I think it’s a mark of just how good a coach Fabio Capello is. Capello isn’t afraid of making the big decisions which might mean favouring younger, hungrier…
Soccerlens – Help For A Tortured Soul
A letter in the Soccerlens postbag today came from a desperate sounding footballer. We have tried to give reassurance and sound advice to help him through what is clearly a dificult time. Dear Soccerlens, I am a twenty-eight year old footballer who has achieved a modicum of success in my career so far. I am…
Is Michael Owen’s England career over?
When England were playing Andorra and Croatia it was fair enough for Fabio Capello to think that Michael Owen was not fit enough to feature for England given his injury and illness problems. But despite playing six games for Newcastle and scoring five goals since then, he has not done enough to earn a recall…
5 players itching to leave Newcastle
The fact that Newcastle are talking to Venables – a man who, in case you’ve forgotten, was the Assistant’s assistant and for his 30 years of experience has little to show for it – is an indication of the hard times the club has fallen upon. All this could have been stopped if Ashley had…
Keegan remarkably realistic about Owen
It’s easy to see why Keegan is well-liked – he’s articulate, he’s forthright, he gets people excited and he’s as realistic as they come. Keegan on Owen:
No 140k deal for Owen, no move for Saviola, Milner stays
The rumour (‘insider exclusive’) that Newcastle have offered Michael Owen a 140k/week deal is ridiculous.
