Places Three to Six in the Championship

thetwounfortunates 21 November @ 11:03 PM EST
Places Three to Six in the Championship have had an amorphous look all season and while the occupants of the automatic spots have an ominous aspect, few would bet on the four currently browsing the magazines in the promotion foyer to be the exact same four come May. We said this about Burnley last year of course, but what are the chances of the current quartet hanging on to those lofty perches? Click to continue reading...

Regarding Henry

The Footbal Tragic 20 November @ 09:00 PM EST
Everyone is having their s(pr)ay about the already notorious Thierry Henry incident. That his act was abominably unethical is undisputed; the more significant fallout from his brazen piece of gamesmanship is likely to be yet more discussion about the issue of video assistance for referees.
To clear the ground first: the calls for a replay of the match are essentially unfounded. Click to continue reading...

Tonge's no longer stoking the fire

thetwounfortunates 19 November @ 08:52 PM EST
Michael Tonge's loan move from Stoke to Preston after Tony Pulis's unsuccessful attempt to establish the languid midfielder as a Premier League player comes as little surprise; his spell at the Britannia Stadium having been as excitement packed as a Cabinet meeting to discuss the Lisbon treaty. Tonge is one of a special breed of players who look the part – and his formative years in some dramatic Click to continue reading...

‘Big Spending’ Tottenham’s transfers since summer 2008

SoccerLens 11 November @ 06:51 AM EST

Much has been made about Tottenham's spending (almost £150m on transfers in the last 16 months), which presumably pushes them above the Big Four in spending and leaves them second only to Manchester City.

On the surface, it's a lot of money for not a lot of success. However, keep in mind that this Tottenham side has also seen a lot of exits, some of them at fairly good prices too.

Port Vale Preview

FC Boro 05 November @ 05:41 PM EST

Stevenage embark on another FA Cup journey this weekend as they travel up to Stoke to face League 2 side Port Vale.

Newcastle United Go Top of the Championship

A Newcastle United Blog | Howay the Toon 02 November @ 10:18 PM EST

There aren't many things worse than what's happened to our club over the past week or so, and I was hoping that it wouldn't have too much of an impact on the NUFC players. Fortunately (and rather fortuitously), they battled to a hard fought victory over Sheffield United.

The Blades made the Newcastle players work hard for this victory, which on another day, could so easily have gone against us.

When Wycombe Made The FA Cup Semi-Finals

Twohundredpercent 02 November @ 06:06 PM EST

It's the FA Cup First Round this weekend so, in the first of five pieces about the Oldest Cup Competition In The World (and there's a phrase that is probably copyrighted by The FA), we take a look back at Wycombe Wanderers' run to the semi-finals of the competition in 2001.

The FA Cup is a competition that throws up surprise results every season, but some records remain and one that may never be broken is that no-one from the bottom two divisions of the Football League has made The FA Cup final.
