Options up front for the Reds

LTLF 18 November @ 07:47 AM EST
When Colin Calderwood guided Nottingham Forest back into the Championship after a three year exile in League One, the Scot knew he needed to add some firepower to his squad if they were going to live up to his ambition of producing back to back promotions. The £2.65 million acquisition of Robert Earnshaw certainly got the [. Click to continue reading...

Tomasz Kuszczak vs Edwin Van Der Sar

Man United Devils 12 November @ 06:48 AM EST
Man United keeper Tomasz Kuszczak has taken a swipe at fellow United keeper Edwin Van Der Sar. Kuszczak has said that he goes to United's number one Van Der Sar to ask him for advice but he is only rejected.
If this is true, then I can understand why Kuszczak is frustrated, but is it really the best thing to go to the papers? Click to continue reading...

Tabloid hack 1: Oi... you heard about this?
Tabloid hack 2: What's that?
1: Robbie Keane. The fool. He's only gone and said that Spurs are better than Arsenal and will definitely take their top four spot this season, hasn't he? Click to continue reading...

Not A Wise Move, Tomasz

Republik Of Mancunia 06 November @ 03:25 AM EST

Tomasz Kuszczak has stupidly given an interview with MUTV criticising Edwin Van der Sar for not helping him enough and suggesting that the Dutch goalie doesn't like him.

Oh dear.

"I must say this, Edwin doesn't help me. Maybe he doesn't like me," said Kuszczak. "He's got more experience and many more games under his belt.

Toure - 'Time to impose'

Bitter and Blue 04 November @ 01:30 PM EST
After a run of draws, we see the first rallying call from our new skipper, Kolo Toure:
"We need to impose ourselves as we have some gifted players in this dressing room," he told the club's website. "We can enjoy our football by passing it and controlling games. That's what we need to achieve now.

Where Did It Go So Horribly Wrong

Against The Crossbar 28 October @ 12:45 AM EST
I was genuinely excited when the FFA announced that one of the new clubs to join the A-league this year was to be Gold Coast United. Here was a team to be based in the fastest growing area of Australia, was backed by one of Australia's richest men and would have one of the more interesting (if slightly insane) characters of the game here in Australia guiding them in Miron Beilberg.

Why substitutions are made so late in games

Molto Calcio 26 October @ 08:22 PM EST
My son asked me why managers wait so late to make all three substitutions in games. Great question.
Its quite simple really.A manager will make the appropriate change to strengthen his or her side.Replacing a weakening player for a stronger player. A Good manager will try to exploit a tactical weakness he or she may may see in an opponent. Click to continue reading...

Middlesbrough FC news, match reports and articles - Boro Mania 26 October @ 02:50 AM EST

On Tuesday night, Boro sacked Gareth Southgate: cue rejoicing on Teesside. Southgate was the clueless manager who got us relegated for the first time in 12 years. He was the man who took us from the Uefa Cup to the foot of the table. He was the man who sold our best players, and brought in our worst.

Fulham thoughts

Bitter and Blue 25 October @ 01:28 PM EST
A common theme I have posted about this season is expectation - where victories become a formality. This is what can ultimately separate teams who do, and don't make it to the top four.
Whilst the media focus on defeats (as we have seen with Liverpool recently), too many draws can be equally damaging in terms of ambition. Click to continue reading...

D-day on Merseyside

Red's Fury™ 25 October @ 04:27 AM EST

Today's match against Manchester United at Anfield will decides Liverpool's title ambition after losing four on the trot. Some quarters were venting their anger on the manager for the recent bad run of games. Do you think it is fair to blame it solely on Rafa Benitez?

How about the eleven players on the playing field?

'The top four are no longer invincible'

Bitter and Blue 20 October @ 01:21 PM EST

"There are some good teams in the Premier League this year," the Manchester City boss said. "There is a focus on ourselves because we have the ambition to have a good season.

"But the fact there is a threat to the teams who have had those top four places is adding extra pressure.

Mark Hughes: What Big Four?

Premiership Talk Blog 19 October @ 02:13 PM EST

After seeing both Chelsea and Liverpool lose at the weekend, Manchester City boss Mark Hughes has dismissed claims of a Premier League top four. There's no doubting that City, Everton, Tottenham, and Aston Villa are all doing their best to break up the top four's stranglehold, and recent results have indicated that things won't be easy for England's top clubs.

Mr Charisma Chris Hughton Offered Newcastle Job

A Newcastle United Blog | Howay the Toon 19 October @ 12:28 PM EST

You see that great big ditch down there? The one big enough to swallow St. James's Park? That's how far my heart sank when I heard the news that Chris Hughton was offered the manager's job on a permanent basis.

Firstly, this is a huge backwards step and reeks of the lack of ambition wafting out from the Gallowgate.

Wigan review

Bitter and Blue 19 October @ 02:38 AM EST
Given the circumstances leading upto the game (preperations hampered through injury and an international break) and then during the ninety minutes itself (going a goal down on the stroke of half-time and then playing the final half an hour with ten men) a point can be seen as a very good return.
It is, I suppose, a measure of the current sides mentality that we came away with a point rather than empty handed, and also a sign of the ambition and expectation there is that there is also a sense of frustration to not come away with all three-points. Click to continue reading...

Nani Out, Silva In?

Man United Devils 18 October @ 06:15 AM EST
This morning I have already seen three stories on Luis Nani's Man United career. The 22-year old made (according to wikipedia) only four appearances so far this season, but he has scored two goals.
After being left on the bench again against Bolton yesterday, The News Of The World believe that Nani could be on his way out of Old Trafford this January, being replaced by Valencia's David Silva. Click to continue reading...

Injury woes

Bitter and Blue 16 October @ 12:01 PM EST
It's a good job the club revamped the medical facilities last season as the treatment room is a crowded place currently:

"We have a couple of doubts. Kolo has not trained since Villa due to the bang on the heel he received there, and Craig Bellamy has a little bit of stiffness in his groin.

Chief Executive speaks out.

Arsene Wenger has been informed that the Arsenal hierarchy expect him to deliver a long-awaited trophy this season.

The Gunners have failed to land a piece of silverware since tasting FA Cup glory in 2005.

France are currently second in their qualifying group, four points away from top side Serbia and four points clear of third place Austria.

Muang Thong United v Chonburi 1-1

Jakarta Casual 05 October @ 06:05 PM EST
It started with a bang, got mired in controversy and then just kind of fizzled out amid a flurry of cards and whistles as the referee imposed himself more and more.
In many respects this game was more than just a title decider. It was a barometer of just how far the Thai Premier League has progressed over this season. Click to continue reading...

Campbell Set For County U-Turn

Soccerphile World Cup Blog 23 September @ 06:16 AM EST

Sol Campbell could be set for a remarkable u-turn after Notts County admitted that they will not stand in his way if he decides to leave the club.

Campbell has made just one appearance for the Magpies since joining on a free transfer at the end of August. After three weeks of working on his fitness, the former England international made his debut on Saturday, as his new team followed the football betting odds and went down 2-1 to Morecambe.

Life Begins at 4-3 – Observations from a Classic

Premiership Talk Blog 21 September @ 11:03 PM EST

When Two Tribes Go To War Rivalries are never made, they're born. Born in fire more often than not, but like a fire they can tend to die down after a while if they aren't stoked often enough. They can even go out all together, but as long as the ash remains, fresh kindling can always re-ignite it.
