    Score It, O'Hara!

    Someone really needs to find out what Harry Redknapp is saying at half-time, because if we can patent and market it, we'll make a fortune. After an abject first half at White Hart Lane, Tottenham burst into life in the second, scoring four goals in twenty minutes, helped in no small way by the...

    EPL Half-Term Reports Pt II

    Bolton - Not one of our most popular pupils, this one. Prone to fits of violence and if there's a ruckus in the playground, you'll invariably find him at the centre of it. That said, he has settled into his work better this term and is beginning to achieve some reasonable grades. A bit more...

    Shots on Target Southend 6 Huddersfield 2 Shots off Target Southend 5 Huddersfield 3 Corners Southend 4 Huddersfield 2 Sadly, today was nothing more than a game between two mid-table sides squabbling it out with little quality on show and little to excite the punters. Huddersfield may have...

    Football Manager 2009 Review

    I have a confession to make. My name is Iain Macintosh and I'm a Football Manager-aholic. It started with the original Championship Manager, way back in 1993. It took 45 minutes to load and there were no real player names, but it changed my life. The first football management game that didn't...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 6 - A Century United

    This week, Tom (A Century United) from all the way up the top of Scotland answers the questions. Below is a picture of him amongst the starting 11 for the League 2 Playoff Final. The woman in white sitting on the number 1 forgot her boots that day, thus why Duncan Jupp got the nod. 1) How...

    Woeful Reds Ravaged By Redknapp

    The Tottenham Hotspur revival continues. Not content with robbing Liverpool blind in the League ten days ago, Harry Redknapp's resurgent warriors battered them in the League Cup as well. This emphatic and fully deserved 4-2 victory means that the North London side have racked up an astonishing...

    Benzema's 2nd goal

    Such a good finish. Ball coming over his shoulder and shows the technique to flick the ball in to the corner. Shame Lyon's defence looks dreadful this year!

    Ramos Must Take The Blame

    Tottenham Hotspur may have taken their place in the draw for the second round of the UEFA Cup, but not even the most ardent of their fans will have been convinced by this lacklustre, disjointed performance. Despite taking the lead in the second half and, in doing so, wiping out the danger of the...
  9. Request from Ron

    Just received this... I think in his quiet way he is asking for Mildew to get some support for a change.

    Arsenal Put Plenty Past Twente

    Crisis? What crisis? Arsenal's early season jitters were massaged away last night with a comfortably comprehensive victory over FC Twente that secured their place in the group stages of the Champions League. In today's hyper-sensitive, overly-neurotic game, it doesn't take much to put that 'c'...

    John Maine

    Just remembered he was on telly the other night in some show or another and i remember thinking where have i seen that bloke before. I finaly twigged after about five minutes and laughed at what a plum that bloke really is. This is the same bloke that when Alvin offered his resignation because...

    Slipperduke's Slippery Euro08 Coverage

    I thought I'd wander out over here for the next few weeks, as it's all going to get a bit busy. Here's the first of many..... He may be the best player in the world, but Cristiano Ronaldo certainly isn't the smartest. His refusal to pledge his loyalty to Manchester United has led to intense...

    Toupee or not toupee

    Listening to the ignorant and blustering Alan Green last night moaning all the way through his commentary slots on the England match that this is "dreadful" etc. made me think about his frankly ludicrous syrup. Who do you think has sported the most ridiculous hairpiece ever? Along with Green...

    Your worst stalker ever.....

    Watched some programme about some stalker who shot his ex-bird of three weeks in Harvey Nicks last night and it got me thniking about my own worst stalker. When I was 18 I worked for a company called Unijet who were tour operators who have seen been brought out by First Choice. Like most first...

    Liverpool v Chelsea Champions League

    Tonight, for the third time in four years, Liverpool meet Chelsea in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Football’s most festering rivalry is back and the dirty war has already begun in earnest. There’s something very strange about the relationship between these two teams. They are...

    Chelsea v Everton

    Chelsea hauled themselves to within two points of Manchester United with a 1-0 victory over Everton that I would be tempted to call dour, if it hadn't have preceded the least informative press conference since Rafa Benitez told us nineteen times that he was concentrating on coaching the team...

    Turkey striker, Nihat.

    While England’s footballers sulk in their sun-loungers, the rest of the continent will be contesting the 2008 European Championships. Iain Macintosh, who still won’t allow the word ‘McClaren’ to be uttered in his home, runs the rule over some of the potential stars of the summer. This week, it’s...
  18. South upper -

    thought they did a good job on Saturday of reminding the dreadful ref of his responsibilities regarding time keeping - got the goalie booked - shows how home adavantage should be - and given how "robust" Carlisle are at home shows how important the support is - will Barnard get any...
  19. Just got back...

    We won! Hooray! Totally different experience for me today, standing at the back of the west stand when I'm usually in the south. Was nice to meet old faces (Yorkshire, Ben, Cricko, J etc) and those for whom I was a virgin (the beeyotiful & charming Miss West Stand Sarah, Sam, Southminster &...
