The Curious Case of England
It was a coming together of two world powers, so to speak. An England side that seems to have lost their way took on a France side that seems to be finding theirs. Both were still in the process of trying to blot out the same caustic memory of a depressing World Cup. Since June’s…
Chelsea 0-3 Sunderland Goal Highlights (14 November 2010)
Probably the biggest shocker of the season so far, Sunderland completely overwhelmed Chelsea with three goals at the Stamford Bridge. Their loss to Liverpool seems to have shattered their winning mentality big time as the final score may well have been four or even five goals in the favor of the Blues. But it was…
Bendtner Threatens To Quit Arsenal As Chelsea Chase ‘Ronaldo’
Arsenal’s vainglorious striker Niklas Bendtner has never been one for the subtle understatement, lest we forget that it was only a few months ago he claimed himself to be the ‘greatest goalscorer in the world’ during an interview with FIFA.com – haughty declarations which he has since tempered (he now ‘plans to become’ the greatest…

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. A negligible amount of tenuous pride can be taken from the…
Curiously, Newcastle need their home form to match their away form
Newcastle’s impressive early-season away form continued at Upton Park on Saturday as they came from behind to beat West Ham and move into the top half of the table. Goals from Kevin Nolan and Andy Carroll sealed a 2-1 win to leave West Ham rooted to the bottom of the league and draw praise from boss Chris Hughton. “What we do have in this camp is a…
How Do Man Utd Plan To Show Their ‘Ambition’ To Wayne Rooney?
Given their escalating debts and presumably dwindling coffers, the perceived wisdom seems to be that Manchester United may eventually be found guilty of writing cheques that their collective posteriors can’t really afford to cash when it came to promising the world to Wayne Rooney in exchange for the next five years of his footballing career….
Unsurprising Premier League successes – Titus Bramble and Zat Knight
With John Terry and Rio Ferdinand both looking uncertainly at their futures as age and injury begin to take their toll, two much criticised central defenders who would hardly have been in the thoughts of England fans until now and who would probably bring any England manager who dared pick them far more criticism even…
