Ups & Downs...

On the Bench @ 05:11 PM EST
A few weeks ago, I posted an article saying that I was disillusioned with football and that I had lost all faith in it. Well fast forward a few weeks and its safe to say that I am back in love with The Beautiful Game. And of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that my team has a great chance of winning the FA Cup ;-) . Click to continue reading...

An extract from Torres' autobiography.....

On the Bench @ 05:14 AM EST
Even as a Liverpool fan I thought this was kinda funny, this was stolen mercilessly from the bbc message boards. Enjoy
"Flying into Manchester airport for the signing was one of the most exciting days of my career. The limo transferring me took a while longer to reach the ground than I expected but once there I was greeted by a sea of red. Click to continue reading...

Who's Worse....Alan Smith or Emmanuel Eboue?

On the Bench @ 04:08 PM EST
I write this article as I watch Emmanuel Eboue miss a golden chance to put Arsenal ahead in the San Siro. By the time I get to the end of this article we will find out if this miss was to ultimately prove crucial.
Watching the terrible miss made me realise what a shambolic player this guy is. Click to continue reading...

2 Angry Men......

On the Bench @ 05:26 AM EST
I agree with you all that what Gallas did was petulant and a poor show, but I didn't deny that. My point was that Cahill was a pussy if he was crying when he celebrated his goal, and would normally get the piss ripped put of him. Instead its alright cause he showed some emotion.
Im sorry but losing a family member to 6 years in prison >>>>>>>>> losing 2 points in the premiership. Click to continue reading...

Cult Heroes.....Djimi Traore

On the Bench @ 03:18 PM EST
I was chatting to my friend Saran the other day when a conversation cropped up about this month's Goal of the Month competition. It was in reference to Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's screamer against Wolves in the FA Cup, where he rolled back the years with a sublime dummy. "That guy is a legend" we both agreed.

My Weekend Football Rants......

On the Bench @ 09:22 AM EST
Have Arsenal blown it?
After the most ludicrously crass and irritating Eduardo(RIP) saga, Gallas' wetting his pampers with his childish petulant strop and Man Utd literally breathing down Arsenals necks, you have to start wondering whether Arsenal's "kids" can hold their nerve and win the title.

David Beckhams Condoms.....

On the Bench @ 08:54 AM EST
Is there anything that this man won't brand? Seriously, where do we draw the line? He has branded some Chinese condoms with some hilarious tag lines and photos to go with them.
Bedroom eye? What the hell is that? Why have they chosen such a ridiculous picture to put on the packaging? What the hell is the world coming too? Click to continue reading...

David Moyes, says what we have all been thinking....

On the Bench @ 08:33 AM EST
David Moyes has been accused of racism by the Nigerian football association for making claims against the real age of Yakubu. African footballers suffer greatly when it comes to whether they are the age they say they are, Ghana and Nigeria always seem to do well in competitions with age restrictions.

Spur's Fan Gatecrashes Team Photo

On the Bench @ 03:02 PM EST
After all the news surrounding Eduardo's snapped banjo it has gone un-noticed amongst many people the hilarious incident after Sunday's Cup Final where a Spurs fan managed to gatecrash the celebrations after the extra time win for Ramos' side.
It is not quite sure how the man managed to escape the clutches of security but fair play to the Spurs team for helping to join in the fun by spraying him from head to toe in champagne. Click to continue reading...

WTF!!!, moment of the weekend....

On the Bench @ 08:53 AM EST
There are moment in football that just make you chuckle sometimes, I have never really hidden my disgust for all things Real Madrid, so this incident on the weekend against Getafe has bought a wry smile to my face. The perennially injured Robben thought he had scored, but sadly it was disallowed for some odd reason, Getafe then duly played on and scored the winner leaving everyone totally bemused.

**Tw*t Watch**

On the Bench @ 09:45 AM EST
I think we are all aware of how stupid Stephen ireland is, he is famed for pretending his grandmother had died to get out of an international game and posting on an internet website under a stupid username expressing his hatred for the beautiful game. Can we forget his strip show celebration or his simply ridiculous hair transformation. Click to continue reading...

Tottenham players get a bit too excited....

On the Bench @ 06:52 AM EST
Well, only a few hours after completing the biggest triumph fro Tottenham football club in years, some of the lads decided to take a trip to Faces nightclub, where Ledley got a bit too hammered, to hilarious effect, just look at the pictures below. What the hell will Juande be thinking? Unfortunately no stories of any roasting have appeared yet, but give it time and im sure something will turn up. Click to continue reading...

Premiership Ups and Downs

On the Bench @ 06:18 AM EST
Going Up

Man Utd

They can smell blood, only 3 points behind the leaders now, and bare in mind that before the game against the shambolic Newcastle they could have potentially been 8 points behind. With Rooney and Ronaldo in scintillating form it will be difficult for any man to back against them, the strength they have in depth at the moment is kinda scary, and even the man of glass got a goal, things must be looking up.

Champions League Questions....

On the Bench @ 06:12 AM EST
Why couldnt Rafa motivate his team for Barnsley as well as he did for Inter?
Is C. Ronaldo the biggest of all the big game bottlers or can he blame the lasers?
Why was Arsenal's most loyal player kissing the Barcelona badge?
And why did he give the silencer after he scored his goal? Click to continue reading...
