Jarvis for England?
After a recurring sight of seeing Wolves’ bright young winger impress the Molineux faithful, it seems no surprise to most he has recently been linked with a possible inclusion in the England squad for the France game.

Whereas anyone who has ever had the misfortune of having to spend…

Chelsea have made approximately 50 signings since the take-over of Roman Abramovich. About£470 million (and William Gallas) has been spent on these players – that averages out at just over £9 million (and one of Gallas’ hands) per player.

England Wallow As Spain Dominate Ballon d’Or Shortlist
With their individual World Cup exploits taken into account, it should come as little surprise that England as a nation have absolutely no representation on this year’s Ballon d’Or shortlist, failing to provide a single player for inclusion on the 23-man list of nominees.

England Urged To ‘Look At’ Cardiff Forward Bothroyd
Cardiff City manager Dave Jones believes Jay Bothroyd is worth a “look at” for an England international call-up, after the striker’s superb performance in the latest Severnside derby against Bristol City.

Why It’s High Time For England To Abandon The 4-4-2
Along with risking salmonella from the matchday catering, a jaunty acceptance of xenophobia and the now-annual day-shift prostitute scandals, the boring old 4-4-2 formation is a staple of the English game.
