What a tournament! It’s not just the surprises that has been the making of the 2002 World Cup. Well okay, it has I suppose. While the illustrious talents of Zidane, Crespo and Petit have been licking their wounds, glory has been the keyword for the likes of unemployed defender Gary Breen, the Premiership player that […]
Where it all began It was World Cup 1998 where I first began writing these occasional columns, in fact it is probably the most negative fact to come out of the whole experience. So here we are once again. Who will win? Who will be the stars? Who will be the turkeys? And how many […]
Other side of the world After six months of silence, I’m back to really bug you all with self-righteous opinions and the arrogant sway of someone who reckons the world revolves around them. But that’s enough about Roy Keane. I’ve been quiet due to a relocation on the other side of the world – New […]
Whoa, we’re halfway there… Once again they are saying it is the most open title race ever. Five clubs are realistically vying for the Premiership crown after 19 games, and it’s a tight scrap at the bottom too. In this three-part column, we’ll have a look at both, but first lets investigate Tottenham’s first 19 […]
The Draw What were you doing at ten a.m. on Saturday morning? Probably sleeping off Friday night, like me. Meanwhile, in the Far East, a number of FIFA officials and pretty Oriental women were helping to decide what sort of summer Irish and English fans were likely to have. As it turned out, the 2002 […]
Going Dutch On the same day that England recorded their astonishing 5-1 win away to the old enemy in Germany, another international team were turning heads with an equally memorable result. While superstars such as Beckham, Campbell, Owen and Heskey spectacularly annhilated the Germans, the moderate talents of Kilbane, Dunne, McAteer and Finnan led 10-man […]
They All Think Its Over It’s all over for Manchester United apparently. Well if you believe the vultures that are surrouding Old Trafford, in the shape of opposition fans, the media, and indeed their very own loyal prawn sandwich-loving fans. With the sale of Jaap Stam leaving a hole the size of the channel tunnel […]
Appetite I used to have a big ravenous appetite. I mean I would eat until the cows came home, put on their slippers, watched some TV and went to bed. It was scary. But now I have a new diet, eat less, and eat better. So this is not easy for me -I’ve got a […]
Fickle We are supposedly a fickle breed of supporter, us Tottenham fans. A win seems to be the making of a season, a defeat makes it fall apart, while a draw renders us stagnant, unlikely to progress beyond 11th. With three games, two points and just two goals achieved so far this season, the feeling […]
I know best Premiership Season 2001/2002 is almost upon us. It’s not been the most exciting of pre-seasons with few big name transfers to get the blood flowing. But it does promise to be an interesting battle for 2nd, 3rd and 4th place as United once again take the piss out of everyone else in […]
