Got to love the FA Cup. In no other meaningful tournament that I can think of would a team who are currently sitting bottom of their division and staring the going-out-of-business-abyss in the face be the first team in the draw for the Semi-Finals. What a story it would be if [...]

Chester City Football Club were wound up this week, with their 125-year existence ending for the sake of a tax bill. Portsmouth might have gained headlines for becoming the first Premier League club to enter administration but they somehow stagger on with debts of £60m, while the club four divisions below Pompey are now defunct thanks in part to the Blue Square Premier outfit owing HM Revenue & Customs a, by comparison, paltry £26,125.

Wolves play Portsmouth in the last match of the season. The club in administration can face playing that game without six of their best players.

Eagles make 'come to bed eyes' at speccy star Former Spurs and Ajax ace Edgar Davids, aged 37, is apparently in line for a shock move from the footballers' retirement home to Crystal Palace. Davids was approached by Leicester to shuffle out of retirement in October of last year but a short term deal could not be [.

It's a sorry state of affairs, for any club, when all that the fans have to celebrate is another year's survival.

Spade in the ground within 60days? Yet another lie...So, unless you don't have a television, have been unable to access the internet and don't know what a radio is then you must have been bombarded in the past week or so with Liverpool news left, right and centre.
