England were wrong to leave out Wright…………..

Avenell Road 13 November @ 06:19 AM EST

Ian Edward Wright, known now by many a name but during in footballing career he was fondly known as ‘Wrighty'.

Born in the fine year of 1963, he went on to be a half decent striker at Crystal Palace and then Arsenal and boy, did he love to score!

He had a bit of a strange start to his career in football, he had trials at both Southend and Brighton while in his teenage years but neither club thought he was good enough and let him go on his merry way.

Arsenal are "keeping tabs on" 18-year-old Barcelona winger Gai Assulin, which seems as good a place as any to keep tabs, but only if they're properly secured with Velcro.

Question 1

Name 4 teams out of the 92 in England (Premiership, Championship and Divisions 1-2), who start with the same letter that they end with.

We shouldn’t look back in life, but why not?…………..

Avenell Road 12 November @ 02:44 AM EST

Don't know how others feel, but I'm pretty fed up with reading the football news, its either about Cesc going to Barca, or Cesc going to Barca so instead I thought over the next few days I would take a look back at a few ‘loved ones' from the team in red and white. Feel free to let me know if it's a stupid idea

ESPN Can Predict The Future.

WorldCupBlog 11 November @ 03:40 PM EST

ESPN has taken more than their fair share of stick for their football/soccer coverage, and for good reason. They're American (despite dubbing themselves The Global Leader) and, by and large, they do American sports well. Others: not so much.

But they've gone off-script with their latest venture, the Soccer Power Index, designed to render World Cup 2010 moot.

Eddie Johnson finds his way back into US squad

Soccerblog 11 November @ 08:03 AM EST

In Bob Bradley's search for Jozy Altidore's strike partner now that Charlie Davis is unfortunately out for six months or more recovering from that horrific car crash.

Johnson has always been an enigma. Great promise and an ability to get behind defenses with his speed. His was a blazing start with the MNT as he scored 7 goals in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers including a goal on debut against El Salvador and a hat trick three days later against Panama.

Some thoughts about Indonesia Under 19s v Singapore

Jakarta Casual 10 November @ 07:19 AM EST
Everyone I have spoken to or who has texted me says the same thing. That Indonesia were crap and that the Uruguay adventure has been a waste of time and money. So there you have it. Everyone says it so it must be true.
But before I jump on that particular bandwagon...
The opening 15 or 20 minutes were as good as anything I've seen from any Indonesian football team since I took up my computer to begin these rambles. Click to continue reading...

The Wednesday Wonder: Aruna Dindane

Premiership Talk Blog 04 November @ 08:00 AM EST

Is there hope for Pompey? Maybe if you're an eternal optimist. I just like to think of it as something that Portsmouth fans can reminisce about next season when they are taking the Coca Cola Championship by storm. That is just where the state of Pompey football is at the moment. One 4-0 victory is not going to suddenly turn things around for the better, but for that to happen, Piquionne and Dindane are going to have to put in these types of performances week in and week out.

Pompey back in business

Soccer Pie 03 November @ 03:10 AM EST

Portsmouth were sitting at rock bottom after seven Premiership rounds and they had always been expected to struggle after they could only reinforce the squad in the dying moments of the transfer window due to the uncertainty surrounding the club. Nevertheless, Paul Hart's team have shown a massive improvement in the last few weeks having taken no less than seven points from last four games.

Apoel Nicosia vs FC Porto

FC Porto will look to lock up second place in Group D with a win against Nicosia. The 2-1 victory a fortnight ago did not represent the game. Porto out-played the Romanian side for the better part of the game and Hulk should have had a hat-trick at least.

Arsenal - Spurs Preview: Good News and The Usual Grumble

All Action, No Plot 30 October @ 04:00 PM EST

Normally the points in this fixture are rather an irrelevance, but this time there is more at stake than just bragging rights. The sides go into the game separated only by goal difference, and the three points up for grabs could prove crucial come May. Ultimately, league position is the gauge, and this season for a change we have a realistic chance of finishing above l'Arse.

Easy schedule or not, there's no stopping the Akron Zips. While their conference schedule in Mid-American play is regarded as fairly light, Wednesday's match against Penn State was a chance at answering those critics, as the Nittany Lions came in ranked 16th in this week's RPI.
