Ireland Wants a Do-over

Soccer Tickets Online 19 November @ 10:52 AM EST

The FAI (Ireland's ruling Soccer organization) has demanded a reply of their match in which they lost to France yesterday. All of this comes over more bad calls/non-calls by officials and has even been brought to light by a French player who was involved in the incident.Â

I want to make clear that I am writing with the question.

Algeria Takes The Champs-Élysées. Next: The World!

WorldCupBlog 19 November @ 05:10 AM EST

This is a picture of what's currently going down in the center of Paris. No, that is not a Frenchman celebrating the lack of video replay in football. No, that is not an Irishman infuriated by the lack of integrity by one Thierry Henry. Hell, it's not even the CEO of Caran d'Ache.

I'm So Dizzy My Head is Spinning

LadyArse - Arsenal and the world of football from a woman's perspective @ OleOl 05 November @ 07:46 AM EST

Literally, Nope, not drink induced, although that's how it feels. I have an inner ear infection which basically means I can't move without falling over. Under Doctors orders I'm confined to bed to keep my head as still as possible which in itself is causing problems as my neck stiffens up and threatens to bring on a full blown migraine.

History
It all began as a clash of cultures. Feyenoord were supported by the dock workers from the built up part of Rotterdam, while Ajax by the richer, more sophiscated side of Amsterdam.

Magic moments
This fixture is full of goals, goals, super goals as big Frank frank would say.

Caught Offside 04 November @ 12:37 PM EST

Thanks to our friends at Dirty Tackle for bringing this to our attenion. Imagine you have two teams who quite literally hate each other to the core, two local rivals who can't stand the sight of each other. Then you take an away team who takes the spoils and you add a player who wishes to create mayhem.

Bolton 0-4 Chelsea : The goal feast continues

A Chelsea Fans Blog for Chelsea Fans 01 November @ 08:53 AM EST
Chelsea rattled in another four goals yesterday as we beat Bolton 4-0 at the Reebok stadium and let's face it, it could of been so much more. After the display in midweek I predicted that the game yesterday would be a much more difficult game and to Bolton's credit for 43 minutes of the first half it was. Click to continue reading...

Fan goals don’t count, geniuses

Dirty Tackle 28 October @ 01:36 AM EST

You'll probably see this everywhere, but here it is anyway.

A couple of Barnsley fans decided to waste everyone's time by running onto the pitch during injury time and scoring a goal on Manchester United during Tuesday's Carling Cup fourth round match. United keeper Ben Foster made the mistake of trying to strip the ball from the one fan, which set up an admittedly pretty nice little 1-2 that resulted in his fellow pitch invader scoring off the volley.

DTotD: Did he kiss it all better?

Dirty Tackle 26 October @ 01:46 AM EST

Remember when you would fall and hurt yourself when you were little (as opposed to when you were insanely drunk this past weekend) and your mother would try and trick you into thinking your bruise or scrape was instantly healed by "kissing it all better"? Well, I'm pretty sure that's what the Fenerbahce physio does for Roberto Carlos (0:30 into the video above) after he took an Abdulkader Keita punch to the head in the 74th minute of Fener's 3-1 win over Galatasaray on Sunday.

Blackburn Hit For Six By Rampant Gunners

English Football Banter | The Latest Football News, Chat + Debate 04 October @ 09:27 AM EST
Arshavin and Fabregas were once again in imperious form for their club as The Gunners dismantled Blackburn Rovers at The Emirates Stadium this afternoon. Arsenal ran riot in the second half against a Blackburn side low in confidence and suffering inconsistent form in the league this season. The home team once again produced some spells of incredibly stylish flowing football that can only be associated with this Arsenal side - who have become widely recognised as the most easy on the eye team in English football today.

A message to Harry Redknapp; Keep it shut!

Wrighty7 03 October @ 05:02 AM EST
I wanted to write this the other day when I actually read a piece that Harry 'check out my eye-bags' Redknapp wrote in his column in the Sun newspaper. My apologies for it being later than a London bus.
He seems to have a massive opinion on Adebayor-gate and my advice to him is to keep his mouth shut. Click to continue reading...

Amanda Palmer's 'Leeds United'

From a Left Wing 30 September @ 06:47 PM EST
Amanda Palmer is one half of The Dresden Dolls. "Leeds United" is off her solo album, Who Killed Amanda Palmer?. The track isn't directly about Leeds but the pounding on the keys, the blaring horns, the voice hoarse from shouting/screaming/singing taps into the riot of football crowds. She explains that the whole idea of turning out to support your team & getting into brawls with each other struck her as "Roman" and a good subject for her. Click to continue reading...

Home-Grown Quota a Response to Ridiculous Spending?

English Premier league 15 September @ 08:34 PM EST

The clubs in the Premier League have agreed to a new rule for next season that requires 8 players on the roster (out of 25) to be "home-grown". Â Basically, 8 players you recruited and trained yourself.

Now, I know I was going off the other day about the "Everton Way", but this is an interesting twist on the same idea.

Ade heading for a 6 game ban – homegrown rule introduced

The Goon Blog - an Arsenal blog. 15 September @ 08:34 AM EST

Afternoon guys, I can actually type which makes quite a change today.

It has literally just been announced that Adebayor has been hit with two FA charges, one for his stamp on van Persie, the other being his celebration.

He is fast heading for a six match ban, personally, I would add another couple of games onto the ban for City's ridiculous defence of him.

Josh’s eye witness account of the City game

Arsenal Insider 15 September @ 06:30 AM EST

I went to the game on Saturday and decided to post some thoughts on the game as a travelling Gooner; there is only one place to start. Adebayor has now become the most hated figure amongst Arsenal fans, even more so than Ashley Cole. When Adebayor turned towards the Arsenal fans before his 90 yard gallop, he made himself enemy no.

Seriously... what the hell was he thinking?

No Short Corners 14 September @ 09:01 AM EST
It should have been a completely glorious day for Manu Adebayor. In Saturday's 4-2 win over Arsenal that kept Man City perfect through four, the livewire strike danced on the ball, cleared his line and buried a header to make it four straight games from go with a goal for the Citizens.Oh yeah, and he ummm.

I saw something other than Adebayor on Saturday…

EPL Talk 14 September @ 08:24 AM EST

Saturday's Manchester City v. Arsenal match was exciting for many reasons: six goals, fast, fluid play, a fun atmosphere, two players playing against their former team, fans throwing all sorts of things at one certain player... All of this made for a great match. While I'll only mention Adebayor's celebration just this once, we can all agree it provoked emotion from both sides, which is ultimately why we watch football.

Caught Offside 13 September @ 04:45 AM EST

So here is the celebration that could well land Emmanuel in hot water. He claims he got caught up in the emotion, but would that explain running 100 yards specifically with the intent of inciting a potential riot. Watch the reaction of Man City boss Mark Hughes, he is not impressed!

Man City 4-2 Arsenal : Adebayor the villain as Arsenal crash

Arseblog 13 September @ 03:23 AM EST

It was inevitable that the headlines this morning would be about Emmanuel Adebayor. However, while many of us thought it'd be because he scored a goal (ex-Arsenal players always score, dontcha know?), I doubt many of us thought Adebayor would sink to the depths he did yesterday.

I think the referees assessor needs to look very closely at Mark Clattenburg's performance yesterday because he allowed Adebayor to get away with an extremely nasty foul on Cesc in the first ten minutes.

Lampard & Gerrard PLC

THBN - Tottenham Hotspur Blog News 09 September @ 03:24 PM EST
Who said that Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard can't play together? After watching tonight's International home tie against Croatia, it's plainly obvious that they can. Both players got two goals apiece as England ran riot against a Croatia team lacking our own stars, The Modfather and Charlie.
Lennon started the match and had an outstanding first half; getting fouled in the box which led to Lampard scoring from the spot for his first and then sending in a peach of a cross onto the head of Gerrard, which put England two up. Click to continue reading...

Manchester United vs Arsenal, 2-1: Arsenal stutter at Old Trafford

The Gunning Hawk 30 August @ 03:00 AM EST

A Diaby blunder gave Arsenal their first defeat of the season after the champions came from a goal down to win at Old Trafford.

Abou Diaby headed into his own net from a Ryan Giggs's free kick after Wayne Rooney levelled for United from the spot. Arshavin had broken the deadlock in the first half with a magnificent strike.

Upton Park repercussions

The Beautiful Game (2) 27 August @ 11:37 AM EST
A lot of attention still on West Ham after the massive brawl before/during/after some Carling Cup action against Millwall earlier in the week. Claims of racist chants certainly won't help.
The reaction, obviously, comes first from British authorities, who vow to never let it happen again. If that's a reasonable promise. Click to continue reading...
