With the first quarter of football almost over in most leagues around Europe, now is a good time to measure the current progress of some of the giant clubs on the continent. Actually, analyzing the success or failure of clubs in general won't be nearly as exciting as identifying a more specific object of analysis.

While he was honored as Estonia's best player in the past half a century by the nation's football association, Mart Poom could not earn even remotely the same kind of respect on club level. Despite boasting a variety of Eastern European and English clubs on his resume during his early days as a player, the legendary former Estonia goalkeeper is best remembered for an extremely inactive spell as a back-up keeper at Arsenal F.

Ivan Rakitić's 24th minute goal sealed the deal for Croatia as they played Belarus in Zagreb on Saturday. Vedran Runje produced an excellent string of saves to ensure that the score stayed 1-0; it was a wonderful game on his part. As Croatia were without Luka Modrić and Belarus Alexander ...

Some moments are never meant to be forgotten. The entire world of football witnessed one such shocking moment a little less than two years ago in London. On a rainy evening at Wembley, hosts England were expected to advance to the finals of Euro 2008 with just a draw needed against visiting Croatia.

Oh Spurs. You do warm the cockles of my heart on these blustery Autumnal nights. I love these little PR stunts. You know, the happy, smiley, 'look-at-us-we're-all-friends' gems that pop up on the official website from time to time.
This latest one has provided some excellent feelgood pictures, all coming from the clubs official squad photocall. Click to continue reading...

Another week of Premiership action is now in the books, and Thursday means one thing: it's time for the Thursday Throwdown from A to Z. Here we go...

A� is for Anelka. Chelsea fans should be counting their lucky stars that both Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba are in spectacular form.

If you are Paul Hart - by far the bookies' favorite to become the first sacked manager in the Premier League this season - you would need a miracle to save Portsmouth from relegation at this point. Four games into the new season, Pompey are yet to scrap up a single point, which is a clear indicator of how the team roster was in desperate need of major bolstering on the final day of transfers.

I feel like Mr Pink after the dust settles in that brief, but oh-so-memorable shoot-out. I'll just tip-toe around the bloody mess, pick up the case full of loot and hot-foot it out of here.

The bloody mess is Bentley to Man City, Petrov the other way, David James splattered all over the place, and even Anton Ferdinand, sitting lifelessly on a chair minus an ear.

Deal Almost complete.

Sky Sources understand Niko Kranjcar has passed his medical at Tottenham Hotspur ahead of his proposed switch from Portsmouth.

A fee in the region of £2.5 million is said to have been agreed between the two Premier League clubs, with Tuesday's transfer deadline looming.

Time for Harry to raid Fratton Park again?

Even though Portsmouth have now successfully been taken over by Sulaiman Al-Fahim it seems that the club may still see a few faces leave the club and one of those faces may well be Niko Kranjcar if the Croatian international decides that the club is unlikely to prosper after selling off the heart of the team in the past year.

The NSW Premier League's regular season is now at its halfway point, and Sydney United are still well out in front, despite a setback on Friday night.
Behind them is a chasing pack of three, with no other teams within coo-ee of the leaders at present. So then, a look at the top four in this season's competition, and a preview of what the back end of the season might hold. Click to continue reading...

I am not quite sure how much of an audience an article about the German Bundesliga can get, but I will still give it a shot. After all, if there is one league that has continued to offer an air-tight title race throughout the year, it has to be the German first division. With two games to go, as many as four teams� have a realistic chance of being crowned� champions.

It's always this way, isn't it? You wait forever for one bus and then four or five come along at once. After a fairly drab season by Premier League standards, it's all gone frigging loopy as the fight for European and domestic dominance reaches its final stretch. A month ago we (well mainly I, but I'm sure you, too) were bemoaning the lack of really exciting games from the 08-09 Premier League season.

The time for boldness has arrived. We definitely won't be relegated. We just might get into the top half but its by no means certain. Its not all over yet by a long way; the fat lady hasn't sung, but at least she's standing in the wings.
A lot of fans have gone from desperation to over enthusiasm but I'm just sticking with not being desperate. Click to continue reading...

One cannot help but notice that when it comes to the German football players, not many of them fancy playing in the Premiership. I first started following the German Bundesliga around half a decade ago; the reason why I tuned in every single week to catch up with some Deutsch football was that I could never get to see enough German representation in the Premier League.

While Juande Ramos' career at White Hart Lane is done and dusted, remains of his legacy can still be spotted. Over the summer, Tottenham wrapped up an exciting £9 million deal for Barcelona's Giovani Dos Santos. Once viewed as Barca's successor to Ronaldinho, fans around the league - myself included - were anxious to see the Mexican's talents. Click to continue reading...
