be so far from the same team, the fisherman: Filed under: As Such, Footballers Gone Wild, LOLs

At half time in England's opening European qualifier of the summer against Bulgaria, the title to
this article read "old habits die hard". What a difference 45 minutes can make. The pre-match
feeling was one of nerves, anxiety, apprehension. All the better then that Jermain Defoe's opener
should come so early in the game, just [.
On first sight, I didn't really like the draw Spurs got. I was going through the draw live while
chatting on ESPN Soccernet's live chat and prior to our name being drawn out, I was hoping for
Group B. However, having been drawn in Group A with defending champions Inter Milan, Werder Bremen
and FC [..
In my ideal world, Spurs would pip Arsenal for the EPL title, reach the CL quarters, and win both
the Mickey Mouse and FA Cup. OK I can dream! But one of the toughest thing about being a fan and a
football blogger is being subjective about your own team's expectations. Last season, in my [...]
Mistakes can happen by anyone, but here's Chris Toy's (from Studs-up.com) explanation of the
incident which led to Liverpool's draw match against Arsenal (originally posted as Pepto Dismal by
Chris) Filed under: As Such, LOLs Tagged: Pepe Reina, studs-up, stupid hands
Fabio Capello decided to tackle a couple of bottles of wine whilst naming his latest England B team
squad to face Hungary next week. The inclusions of Ben Foster, whose career highlight is being
Edwin van der Sar's number two for several years, Paul Robinson, who subsequently retired from
international football having got the call-up, [.
Bristol City have confirmed that they have captured the signature of England goalkeeper David James
on a free transfer. James has put pen-to-paper on a one-year deal with the club, a move that is a
sure signal of The Robins' ambition this season. James, who turns 40 this weekend, took over
England's goalkeeping mantle at [.
The new regulations stating that each of the 20 Premier League teams can only register 25 senior
players, of which 8 are home grown, by September 1, which will be eligible to play in the club's
League fixtures has brought about some confusion. Here is my understanding of the home grown rule.
I will not [.
Blackpool is best known for its pleasure beach, arcades, and thousands of bald-headed, sunburnt
British tourists that flock to the seaside each year. You wouldn't automatically associate
Blackpool with football, and you certainly wouldn't have predicted this time last year that they
had a realistic chance of reaching the play-offs, let alone actually gaining promotion [.
Fernando Torres' future is still very much up in the air. He may stay, he may go. One member of the
squad that Roy Hodgson can be certain wants to leave Anfield this summer is Argentina captain
Javier Mascherano who is unsettled on Merseyside. It is believed that Mascha wants a reunion with
ex-Reds boss [.
Whenever Liverpool fans read a news headline boasting the name Fernando Torres, their heart usually
sinks and they let out a dull sigh of resignation. "Torres to Chelsea", "Torres to Manchester
City", "Torres to Real Madrid". Same old, same old. But don't fret Reds' fans, I'm here to inject a
bit of optimism into the [.
Fans of the Citizens are not very different from fans of Spurs. Deprived of success over the years,
we also have to come to terms with our immediate rivals gaining success after success, although in
Man City's case, they've probably had to deal with it for the best part of the last 30 years and

Chelsea central defender and Real Madrid target Ricardo Carvalho has stated his desire to join up
with former-boss Jose Mourinho at the Santiago Bernabeu. Carvalho also described Mourinho as the
"greatest manager in the history of football". This got me thinking. Who is the greatest manager
ever? Below are the three men I consider to [.
I'm certainly not the first person to start a discussion as to whether Manchester City will be good
enough to challenge for the Premier League title this season, nor will I be the last. Until it is
mathematically impossible, and until either Chelsea or Manchester United lift their 4th or 12th
respective trophies, people won't stop debating.
With another season on the horizon, and teams up and down the country gearing up for what they hope
will be a successful season in their respective divisions, I investigate whether Manchester
United's dominance in the Premier League in the last decade is at risk with a number of ageing
stars reaching the end of [.
