    Rate Them - Then Slate Them

    Okay, a new idea for a thread. Rules as follows... You post a picture of a well-known figure who you "Rate!" and reasons why you rate them. With the wide-ranging opinions we often have on here, it's highly likely that, while you think they bring a bit of quality to the world, the next person...

    Rafa Benitez

    In an ideal world, Rafa Benitez would have flown back to England with the rest of us on Monday, tingling with excitement after watching one of the finest international tournaments in decades and clutching a notepad full of potential summer signings. In an ideal world, as manager of one of the...

    Chelsea fans will feel crushed today

    Thanks guys, really glad you liked it! Here's the follow-up: High up near the rafters of the Luzhniki Stadium, as the early morning rain washed away the tears of his expensively assembled superstars, the Super Tsar himself, Roman Abramovich, sat disconsolately wondering what might have been...

    Celtic v Rangers

    I'm told by my Scottish friends that when it comes to excitement, you'll have to go a long way to beat an Old Firm derby between Glasgow Rangers and Glasgow Celtic. I've always been a little dubious of that claim. After all, I've been to Tottenham against Arsenal. Could it really be anymore...

    Fabio Capello

    David Beckham’s long wait for a century of England caps should finally come to an end in Paris tonight, thus bringing to an end the tedious and never-ending speculation over his future. Beckham has been a fine ambassador for the nation and deserves this great honour, but England must move on and...

    Ribery Set To Shine

    With Euro 2008 now less than 100 days away and UEFA showing no signs of inexplicably kicking anyone out of the tournament to make room for England, it’s time for acceptance. Naturally, this acceptance will come easier to you than it will to me, which is why I decided to get the heads-up on a few...

    Slipperduke's Mission To Millwall

    With a few edits, this is what the good people of Singapore will be waking up to tomorrow. MtS had a very lucky escape in being cut out of the final edit. 500,000 people could have found out exactly what his idea of a pre-match meal is... As a mere, and very occasional, foot soldier of the...

    Flavs 5 three characteristic flaps, one uncharacteristic handling fumble, one characteristic great save, not good but still on his way back and the alternative is worse Clarke 7 good goal, excellent assist and generally decent Barrett 6 done ok Mulgrew 7 like him, good left foot and added inches...

  13. Keegan classics

    if only so we can hear more pearlers like these: 'It's like a toaster, the ref's shirt pocket. Every time there's a tackle, up pops a yellow card.' 'The ref was vertically 15 yards away.' 'There are two schools of thought on the way the rest of this half is going to develop; everybody's got...

    Wiggy's ratings!

    Collis 5 not much to do, one ridiculous parry when Flavs would have caught it, little attempt to stop the goal Hunt 4 how does he get away with it, twice tried to usher the ball out for a goal kick and twice the attacker retrieved it, shows how poor he is Francis 9 mom. Class act, good on ball...

  16. Late substitutions - why?

    Apologies if this has already been said but can anyone explain to me why after calling Black from warming up along the touchline it took another 10 minutes to get him on the pitch as substitute? What was the reason for the delay? With that heat we needed some fresh legs and the 10 men out there...
