Worst uniform ever

Dan Loney Says It All 03 November @ 08:31 PM EST
Working on the MLS Anti-Awards for 2009. Last chance for suggestions, but I'll give you a hint - couple of local Southern California players figure big.
But speaking of worst, I wanted to point out that the Daily Telegraph is an idiot.
The topic is worst sports uniforms. Coincidentally, one of my favorite sites, UniWatchBlog, is running a contest for worst American sports uniform of all time. Click to continue reading...

What's In Store? The Co-op Cup

The Scottish Football Blog 27 October @ 12:00 AM EST
A midweek prediction special as Scottish football's least revered competition reaches the quarter final stage.Dundee v RangersRangers rediscovered some vim on Saturday but, crucially, still couldn't overcome Hibs. This is a poor Rangers side further distracted by off the field disasters. Quite a contrast to Dundee who are flying high and luxuriating in new found riches. Click to continue reading...

Pure and Absolute Domination

Arsenal Station 30 September @ 07:59 AM EST

Does anyone really need any commentary on last night's 2-nil victory over Olympiakos? It was just pure, absolute domination for 90 minutes. Olympiakos registered only one true scoring opportunity but Mannone came up trumps when called upon not long after the restart.

As the match was getting into the later stages and it looked like it might be one of those nights when Arsenal just can't get the ball to actually cross the goalline, I was thinking to myself that, if this match finished scoreless, it would've been the most one-sided nil-nil draw I had ever seen.

Foster: Thanks Fergie

Man United Devils 28 September @ 05:00 AM EST
Man United goalkeeper Ben Foster has thanked manager Sir Alex Ferguson for having faith in him. Foster didn't have the best of games in the Manchester derby, he was then rested in the Carling Cup last Wednesday but he was picked for the Stoke match last Saturday.
Foster didn't have much to do in the Stoke match but hopefully keeping a clean sheet will have given Foster some much needed confidence. Click to continue reading...

Spirit Of Shankly? You’re A Disgrace!

Republik Of Mancunia 09 June @ 04:30 AM EST

The Spirit of Shankly Supporters Union should be a good thing. Only this week did I look at how pathetic the majority of Liverpool fans had been in reaction to their Yank takeover, but this union is nothing but a disgrace that does not deserve to associate itself with a great manager, and man, Bill Shankly.

Arsenal throwing in the towel?

goalpost.tv 11 May @ 05:15 PM EST

It's no doubt that Arsenal couldn't perform in the last two matches .First being the second leg of the champions league semi final in the emirates as they lost 1-0 at the old Trafford it was crucial for them not to give away goals at emirates .The main reason for man u to win this match was because of Cristiano Rolando's beautiful performance and arsenal worst defense because the main players in the defense were Gallas and Clichy who couldn't play the game though Gibbs and song tried their best, having an advantage like that for Manchester united is enough for a win like that(3-1) .

Bad Football kits - Coventry away

| Post Match Pint 01 May @ 08:47 AM EST
It has gone down as one of the most infamous fashion disasters in English football kit history.

Coventry City, who wear a Sky Blue home kit, made the now infamous choice of chocolate brown as the colour of their away strip in the 1970s.

The kit was made in 1978 by Admiral, who also made the England kit at the time, and featured three white curved stripes than ran from the side of the shirts and right down to the shorts.

Remembering Hillsborough with the Dutch

Sniffing The Touchline 15 April @ 09:36 AM EST
Sunday's Dutch league match between Groningen and Ajax was postponed after fans thought it would be a tremendous idea to set fire to toilet rolls and throw them towards the pitch. What the fans didn't realise was that hot firey paper near plastic seats leads to hot melty plastic and nasty noxious black smoke, which will make you sick. Click to continue reading...
