A bit of Football Trivia

FOOTBALLSUP 12 November @ 06:37 AM EST

Actually, a lot... pretty much every football trivia question ever in fact. Thanks to Steve (from whom you can also find all the answers).

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.

Football Filter

FOOTBALLSUP 28 September @ 09:40 AM EST

Every so often we see a football site that draws a nod of admiration. The latest to elicit such a response is the excellent Football Filter, an RSS based news and content aggregator. http://footballfilter.com is the address - once there you can view football news categorised under broadsheets, tabloids, blogs, podcasts, and more, and you can search by club.

Football Weekly

FOOTBALLSUP 18 August @ 09:57 AM EST

Football Weekly is the Guardian's superb Football podcast. It is released every Monday, in an edition that reviews the weekend's fixtures, plus a bonus edition every Thursday (Football Weekly Extra) which previews them.

The anchor is James Richardson, of Football Italia and recently deceased Setanta fame, and he is joined by various combinations of Guardian football correspondents, most often Barry Glendenning, Sean Ingle, Sid Lowe, and other peripatetic guests.

The Transfer Window

FOOTBALLSUP 25 July @ 11:07 AM EST

Pre-season friendlies and meaningless tournaments have begun, and teams are shaping up for the new season. Man City have bought half a side, including four strikers, and don't look to have stopped yet. The other big/rich sides have been less active - Zhirkov, Glen Johnson, and of course Michael Owen the most notable.

The Transfer Window

FOOTBALLSUP 09 June @ 11:07 AM EST

In the absence of any meaningful football this summer (excluding a nod to the U21s) we'll focus on the endless transfer sagas in the Premiership and beyond (don't forget Simon Cox). So far Garry Barry has defected, without European football, to Man City - and Madrid have splashed out on Kaka.

Across the Divisions…

FOOTBALLSUP 16 February @ 06:27 AM EST
We're getting into the business end of the season - there are only thirteen Premier League games remaining. In this article we do a quick run through the divisions, looking at the current leaders, the likely challengers, and the odds for all involved. Your divisional yankee should be Man Utd, Cardiff, Leicester and Rochdale if you can't be bothered to read on. Click to continue reading...
