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 […]
Bloggers and tabloid journalists are enjoying the seeming fall of Manchester United this summer. A number of international stars have appeared to turned their nose up on a move to the Premier League and the jewel in the crown, Cristiano “Tango” Ronaldo, has finally got the move to La Liga that he spent the last […]
The post-Bosman transfer system is a complete boon for those club chairman horrified by the wages that average players command these days. With June 30th heralding the end of many Premier League contracts, here are some available players that might interest thrifty managers. Jermaine Pennant (Right winger, released by Liverpool) I’ve never quite understood the […]
First off we have some hyperbole from Carlos Tevez. “I did not feel supported after they signed Berbatov…I gave my life for the Manchester United shirt” No, clearly you didn’t. Dimitar Berbatov has become a hate figure for many United fans, the Emmanuel Eboue of Old Trafford. He’s going to feel the abuse more intensely next […]
I know the Internet is full of trolls – people who deliberately post inciting messages just to get attention and a reaction. Usually these messages contain outrageous claims and opinions that are clearly extremist for the shock value. But sometimes, while obvously still troll-esque, they contain opinions that have a mainstream following and do have […]
Back in August I predicted how the Premier League might pan out (part one, part two) and compiled a half-time report in January. If there’s one thing I know, it’s, well, nothing. Let’s take a peek. 1st Manchester United (Predicted: 1st) It was an unimpressive Man U that completed the season as champions, perhaps fortunate […]
Performance Analysis I’m not going to bore you with some sort of unnecessary preamble. I will simply say that Spurs have had an ok season and here’s what I think of each player’s individual performance. The scale I’ve rated all the players based on their performances through the season. In a percentage of cases I […]
Just noticed this. Jermaine Jenas could face disciplinary action over his comments about referee Howard Webb following Tottenham’s 5-2 defeat at Manchester United. The Spurs and England midfielder accused Webb of “crumbling under pressure” after the hosts were awarded a controversial penalty while 2-0 down. An Football Association spokesman said: “We have written to Jermaine […]
A smidgen of credit for ‘Arry Yeah I was f’n and blindin’ ‘Arry three months ago. Deservedly so, I think. Now, Spurs are well clear of relegation and a point off seventh place and a place in Europe so I look somewhat “wrong”. Right? Well, not quite. I did say at the end of the […]
