Peter Crouch returns to Spurs after 9 years away. It’s a sometimes-forgotten fact that the big man started out at Spurs, leaving for QPR for £60,000 in July 2000. It was considered a surprise when George Graham sold him as youth game reports indicated that the 6’7″ striker was showing improvement and was highly rated. […]
It appears Alex Ferguson has lost his sense of humour somewhere along the way. Yes, the lovable uncle who brought us running jokes like “flexible added on time when United are losing” and “signing crap midfielders” has been lashing out repeatedly at his now-rich footballing neighbours, (Manchester) City. Last week he gave his opinion on […]
Although we are only midway through the off-season, the Premier League’s big guns are definitely feeling the pressure. While not quite asset-stripping, between them they may have lost the services of Carlos Tevez, Cristiano Ronaldo, John Terry, Xabi Alonso and Emanuel Adebayor within the next two weeks – with very little quality going the other […]

I guess that’s […]
Axe I don’t really have an axe to grind with occasional footballer David Beckham. He seems a good family guy (leaving aside the Rebecca Loos shenanigans) and a pretty decent bloke. However, it’s fair to say that David Beckham’s career has always been about David Beckham. Man U There’s a fairly strong argument for him […]
How did you get on with those boyhood heroes, Keano? Are you good enough for Tottenham again?
Hey ‘Arry, rather than chuck away £25m on Defoe and Palacios, why not bid for these guys? Even this one would be an improvement. Don’t worry if you can’t afford to buy the entire first team squad – we can always bargain with any old tat we have lying around.
It’s the release day of the most popular and successful football management game franchise of all time, “Football Manager 2009” (née “Championship Manager”).
