For a group of players that were highly fortunate to make it out of their “easy” group it’s admirable to hear how confident England are ahead of their second round World Cup clash with Germany. First/second/third (delete as applicable) choice goalkeeper David James believes that England are the better team: …I think we’re a better […]
As a talisman they don’t get much more intimidating than Wayne Rooney. But even England’s front man seemed to wave a white flag after losing yet another fifty-fifty in last night’s dire draw with Algeria. I was set to put a tenner on the temperamental striker seeing red when it was obvious his side’s second […]
Martin O’Neill has said he will not take a Liverpool bid for his services lying down. The Irishman was named as 6/4 favourite for the manager’s role at Anfield after Rafa Benitez left by mutual consent on Thursday. But after rebuffing repeated attempts by Liverpool to sign his captain Gareth Barry in 2008 and 2009, […]
Starring: Deborah Gibson, Lorenzo Lamas, Sean Lawlor, Dean Kreyling Director: Jack Perez Genre: Sci-Fi Cert: 15 Released: 2009 The Asylum are some collection of chancers. The film studio are famous for taking current blockbusters and cranking out their own version; or “mockbusters” as they have been dubbed. “Transmorphers“, “Snakes on a Train“, “The Terminators“, “I […]
Dogma. A settled or established opinion, belief, or principle. I had a dogmatic belief that Harry Redknapp was bad news for Tottenham. I told you in October 2008, January 2009 and had a good go him and our flops after the embarrassment of a 2-3 League Cup defeat to Burnley. By April 2009 I offered him a smidgen of credit but it […]
Starring: Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Amy Smart Director: Alexandre Aja Genre: Horror Cert: 15 Released: 2008 I don’t know the reason for Kiefer Sutherland’s fairly low-profile cinema career in the last decade. Since “24” launched in 2001 only “Phone Booth” and “The Sentinel” have showed up on my radar and much of his earnings outside […]
I was excited after joining my new gymnasium (also known as ‘a gym’). The entrance lobby was bright, the staff chirpy (apart from Mark – he’s just one of those guys who seems to think smiling is a sign of weakness), the equipment plentiful and in working order. But then I was introduced to a […]
1. Coyle springs in to action Is it a sideways move for Owen Coyle to join Bolton from Burnley, a stepping stone to bigger things (Aston Villa, eventually?) or is the young manager destined to bounce around teams like Burnley, Bolton, Blackburn and Birmingham until he joins long-term unemployed such as Roy Evans, David O’Leary […]
After a few months off for ‘logistical’ reasons, Five Things returns with absolutely nothing new to say at all. 1. Roberto Mancity Bloody foreigners, coming over here, stealing our women and jobs. I’m not sure if Mrs Hughes was part of the deal but Roberto Mancini certainly did take Mark’s job at Manchester City. The […]
After 25 years in the industry, a-ha will sign off on December 4th 2010 with their final ever show. The Oslo gig – which sold out within two hours – will be attended by fans from all over the world and promises to be a very emotional occasion for both fans and the band. So, with […]
