Match Fixing in England?

2008-10-16T19:30:22+00:00

There just might be. There's an investigation going on right now into Derby County's 2-1 win over Norwich City at Carrow Road on October 4th, and the suspicious Asian betting activity surrounding it. I'd say it's suspicious for anyone in Asia to be putting money on Derby County winning a game of football, even if The Rams [.

Despite their loss, QPR stay 4th (would have moved up to 2nd with a win) - Updated Table

QPR's impressive start to the season suffered its latest setback as - despite dominating the second half - Elliott Ward's first half penalty gave Coventry City all three points.

In Praise Of… Justin Fashanu. Norwich City vs Liverpool. February 9th, 1980.

2008-09-20T12:37:44+00:00

You have to have some degree of sympathy for David Fairclough. Hamstrung from the start by the "Supersub" nickname that he acquired when he first appeared for Liverpool, everything he did seemed to be overshadowed by something or someone else. So it was with his hat-trick for Liverpool against Norwich City in February 1980 - [.

Dowie: QPR's success will be down to "solid" defence
Author: Zehaad Hassan/http://www.sport.co.uk
Iain Dowie, the QPR manager, is delighted with the way his team have responded since they were downed 3-0 against Sheffield United five games ago and believes that a watertight rearguard is the key to promotion to the Premier League.

Former striker WISHING he had never left Arsenal

2008-09-15T18:17:10+00:00

Former Arsenal striker Arturo Lupoli has admitted he was 'too hasty' in leaving the Emirates last season. The 21-year-old Italian was tipped for great things by Arsene Wenger but a lack of first-team opportunities led the striker to seek pastures new. He now turns out for Norwich City of the Championship, on loan from Italian side Fiorentina, [.

Half Time: Toronto FC-Chivas USA

2008-08-31T03:33:57+00:00

Two teams with shaky defenses=open, entertaining game.

The teams ended the first 45 minutes tied 1-1, but both could and probably should have had more goals than that.

Toronto FC opened the scoring when Rohan Rickets found a streaking Jim Brennan on the right wing with a piercing ball.

San Jose Earthquakes-Chivas USA Post-Game

2008-08-24T08:11:31+00:00

Not the most stirring of games.

But both teams got a valuable point.

And Chivas USA pulled into a tie with the Galaxy in the standings with an identical 6-9-6 record.

Preki wasn't happy:

"I'm disappointed we didn't get three points. I thought we were the better team on the night.

Edu Money Turned To Grass?

2008-08-21T03:04:00+00:00

Toronto FC lost a key part of their midfield when Maurice Edu transferred to Scottish Premier League outfit Rangers this past week, but they may stand to gain something else that was on their wishlist: a grass pitch.

Edu's transfer fee was reportedly in the range of $5 million, of which Toronto FC will get $3.

Managerial "Sack Race"
EDP24 "...The bookmakers don't rate [Norwich] City's chances for promotion this season - and one company has him down as a 16-1 shot to be the first Championship manager to be sacked this season.
Roeder is rated at 16-1 to get the elbow from Carrow Road, although it's another former West Ham manager, Alan Pardew, who SkyBet reckon could be the first to pick up his P45.

Sunday Galaxy Gameday: The Knives Are Out

2008-08-03T16:13:34+00:00

The Galaxy are ugly and getting uglier.

Sniping. Name-calling. Signs of locker room discontent. Is the Galaxy big enough for all this?

This is a team whose confidence looks shot and whose players are riven with doubts.

The basic question: how can a team with David Beckham, Landon Donovan and Carlos Ruiz in the line-up not only look so bad in Sunday's tortured 4-1 loss to Dallas, but have failed to win in the last six games?

Is David Bentley Really Worth 15 Million Pounds?

2008-07-31T08:26:20+00:00

So David Bentley, the right winger who many believe will be the successor to David Beckham, has signed for Tottenham Hotspur in a deal worth 15 million pounds. But is he worth it? For Tottenham, Blackburn and David Bentley, the transfer move is a win-win-win. The former Blackburn, Norwich and Arsenal player will improve his game at [.

Pipe Dream: Jason Shackell from The Hills to Silicon Valley

2008-07-29T20:58:00+00:00

Before I really begin this post let me preface it by saying, "no one is asking". By that I mean I know that no one is asking me what I think MLS should do in regard to signing players nor would I ever feign being qualified to tell anyone over there what to look for in a player. I say this because I don't want this post to come across like one of those that you read on some other blogs where a guy who's got less access and insight than the janitor at HDC tells you who Chivas USA should sign, so please don't take it too seriously.

Americans Know Nothing

2008-07-21T12:20:00+00:00

Continuing the excellently homogenous style that STT is quickly becoming synonymous with, we stay in America today to highlight the press unveiling of one of English football's unsung heroes. For those of you outside of East Anglia, it probably slid under the radar that ex-Norwich winger Darren Huckerby was tragically snubbed a contract extension this summer and basically forced out of the club he's supported all his life.

How Not to Interview a Footballer

2008-07-18T22:30:33+00:00

This incredible interview was sent to us by Unprofessional Foul. As you may know, ex-Norwich City player Darren Huckerby has recently signed for San Jose Earthquakes. Could be worse, lots of sun, etc. Only downside for Darren (or "Derek", if you're too lazy to remember your guest's name) is that he has to be interviewed [.

Childhood Football Kit Amnesty

It's that time of the year when lots of new football kits are being released in readiness for the new season, and SPAOTP will be bringing them all to you very, very soon - never fear.

In the meantime, we'd like to conduct a short interactive survey on a not dissimilar topic - that of football kits.

Snippet: Norwich in for "QPR's" Gorkss?...QPR 'Revisionism'?...Ferdinand's Interview (Continued)

2008-07-17T07:01:00+00:00

-
Obviously an impossibility because it's been categorically stated on QPR messageboards that Gorkss to QPR is an absolute, categorical done deal (and even more than that!}. Although as this has dragged on and on, various posts have suggested something else. The article also speaks of QPR "are understood to be offering him eye-watering wages" which is at least the second article which spoke of the high wage QPR were offering Gorkss.

Unconventional retirement

2008-07-14T15:56:02+00:00

The day before the transfer window opens, we have a great "only in MLS" story: New England's Chase Hilgenbrinck is giving up soccer to join the priesthood.

In terms of surprise retirements, that ranks alongside Tampa Bay's R.T. Moore, who left the Mutiny to go to dental school.

Typing "Darren Huckerby" into YouTube, your list of videos look like this: "Tribute" "Tribute to Greatest Ever" "I'll Miss You Darren Huckerby" etc etc. So, to start off [.

He will join the Earthquakes when the MLS transfer window opens on July 15th. First reported on Soccer by Ives, the 32-year-old former Norwich City player had been in talks with Toronto FC [.
