Pottinger tackles… Henry loves Basketball

Right then, whilst I'm here I might as well sort this shit out.

First things first, I WANT the game to be replayed. Having said that it would be an absolute travesty if FIFA ordered a rematch of the game, as it would set an extremely dangerous precedent in football whereby the result on the pitch isn't final.

Egypt force play-off

Inthestands.co.uk - Football Banter For the Masses - Football Blog @ 07:34 PM EST

Although there were four big play-off games in Europe for us all to watch along with numerous friendlies, possibly the biggest game of the day was held in Cairo between Egypt and Algeria.


A rivalry that goes back to 1989, the intensity leading up to the game today reached fever pitch only a few days ago when the Algerian team bus was attacked by fans with rocks.

Rafa does love his facts…

Inthestands.co.uk - Football Banter For the Masses - Football Blog @ 02:45 PM EST

We all know about Rafa Benitez's press conference last year where he randomly came out with a load of facts despite being unprovoked and we all know that it was the turning point in Liverpool's season as they lost the title that was surely going to Anfield...

Some bright spark at ESPN brought to my attention that their 5 losses in the Premier League this term spells out one of Rafa's favourite words.

Best Football Advert Ever… The Red Devil Honey Monster

Inthestands.co.uk - Football Banter For the Masses - Football Blog @ 10:43 PM EST

A follow up to last weeks advert from a few years later, the Honey Monster now finds himself a reserve goalkeeper for Manchester United in a European fixture...

I'm pretty sure Peter Schmeichel should have been sent off for the foul, instead good ol' Honey Monster gets subbed on and pulls off a blinder of a save Rene Higuita-esque.

Serie A Review

Inthestands.co.uk - Football Banter For the Masses - Football Blog @ 09:50 AM EST

The highlight of this weekend's fixtures was the match at the Olimpico in Turin between Juventus and Napoli. After numerous quality acquisitions over the Summer for Napoli, they had been expecting a good start to the season. However, after a less than impressive start, Roberto Donadoni was sacked and Walter Mazzarri brought in to try and settle the ship.

"If only I could play for Thailand"

Guardian has brought it to my attention that the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) have signed a 3 year sponsorship deal with McDonald's, worth an estimated £545,000.

But thats not the best bit, as part of the deal the Thailand football team gets free big mac's, McFlurrys, and Mc Chicken-ish stuff.
