The sight of Diego Maradona slaloming through the England team in the 1986 World Cup is a thing of beauty. A tubby but mesmeric knife through stodgy Anglo-Saxon butter. The resulting goal arguably the greatest in World Cup history is suitably ripe for a doting animation and football artwork aficionado Richard Sawbrick has [.

There was a classic Jasper Carrot sketch many years ago. It was about these middle class wannabes
who had a couple of Mercedes in the driveway but sod all in the fridge. Ever since I moved to this
part of the world I have been reminded of that almost daily.
The new Indian League franchise got their squads ready during the week, with a fantasy league type
auction.
The six week run tournament, seen each team bid for an "Icon" player and a foreign coach set up
in the same style as the Indian one day cricket format currently used to great effect.
Like an outdated fantasy league auction, the new Premier League Soccer featuring six teams based
in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal bid for the rights to sign several "icon" players."
Hernan Crespo, who scored nine goals for Parma last season, drew the highest bid and went for
$840,000 (£536,000) at the sprightly age of 36.
"F**king kick him, you ponce" Â Peter Reid, bringing the beautiful game to the
India
Trying to break the massive, all-conquering hold cricket has on India ain't gonna be easy, but
the organisers of the new Indian Premier League Soccer tournament are doing their best to get the
locals interested by getting a number of ex-greats involved.
Perhaps I'm showing my age but Robbie Fowler most definitely ain't of my era. I was getting
ensconced in Bangkok as he started making ripples in the Premier League and I remember him scoring
a quick fire hat trick for Liverpool against Arsenal in one of his early games.
Now I've moved on from Bangkok and he has moved there.

Video highlights of Everton winning the 1984 FA Cup Final
In the latest WSC magazine there's an article suggesting that, for most fans after they get to
about 30, all the great goals have already been scored, all the great albums have already been
made, and from there it's a case of comparing things unfavourably with when you were younger.
I can see this to a point, and it was with great delight that I was reading about Howard
Kendall's mid-80s Everton side this morning.
I was born under a bad sign with a claret and blue moon in my eyes, but Lordy a-things
ain't been the same since Big Sam walked in-a town...
"I've got the world by the balls and yet I can't stop feeling that I'm still the mortadella,"
confesses Sam Allardyce. "It's the nagging feeling that I came in at the end; that the best is
over.
Fabio Cannavaro will begin his Indian journey this February
This Monday, the six franchises of the new IPL styled soccer league put down bids for the
marquee players. Fabio Cannavaro, the 38 year old former Ballon D'Or defender drew the highest bid
of $830,000 and was sold to Siliguri.
It would be remiss of us to let the day pass without mentioning that, having never been further
than the first round before, Southern League Premier Division side Stourbridge beat League Two
stragglers Plymouth Argyle 2-0 on their own patch last night to reach the second round of the FA
Cup for the first time in the club's history.
They lost again yesterday, of course, a two-nil reverse at Southend United which left them
anchored to the bottom of the entire Football League and this morning, in an act entirely at odds
with the slow, long, drawn out procedure of the take-over of Plymouth Argyle, Peter Reid paid the
price for his failure as an alchemist with his job.
Earlier this evening, we wrote on the extraordinary impromptu press briefing given by two
Plymouth Argyle players and their manager, Peter Reid. This evening, in the second part of a
double-bill, a little more background about why professional footballers should be talking about
going on strike, courtesy of Mark Murphy.

Following on from Peter Reid and Bryan Robson can we expect the Thai FA to continue to look to
England's World Cup squad for its coaches? Specifically the midfield?
In that case can we expect to hear that Steve Hodge has been announced as the new Thai coach? Or
Trevor Steven? Or even Ray Wilkins?

Plymouth Argyle face a fight to hold onto their talented 19-year-old Irish striker Joe
Mason.
Manager Peter Reid has revealed a number of clubs have inquired about Mason and while Reid is
desperate to see the Ireland under-21 international stay at Home Park, the Pilgrims' financial
plight could force them into a reluctant sale.
Hard times at Home Park, and I'm not just talking about having to endure Peter Reid as a manager
– as a Plymothian (albeit a Plymothian with a love for Tottenham Hotspur in his heart, and a mere
fondness for the Pilgrims) it really pains me to say that.

Their Words "When we got beat in the FA Cup final in 1986 that was one where I just couldn't handle it. We'd ended up coming second to Liverpool in both the cup and league and, as players, we were asked to do a bus tour around the city. There was no way I was going on that." Everton alum Peter Reid.
