Video Of The Week: The Big Match – April 1979

Twohundredpercent 08 November @ 07:00 PM EST

This week's Video Of The Week takes us back to the race for the Second Division title from the 1978/79 season and features three matches from an episode of London Weekend Television's "The Big Match", presented as ever by Brian Moore. The first match is between from Selhurst Park and is between Crystal Palace and Notts County, the second match is from The Goldstone Ground and is between Brighton & Hove Albion and Blackburn Rovers (about whom Moore says, "they've already been relegated to the Third Division, so at least they'll be relaxed) and the final match is from Roker Park, and is between Sunderland and Cardiff City.

Amusement from some idiots

Another Arsenal Blog 02 November @ 10:50 AM EST
Terry Venables was always an extremely overrated manager, and it appears that he is about as gifted as Harry Redknapp at being an oracle of the future. I chanced upon his Sun column from the weekend, in retrospect it makes absolutely brilliant reading but not for the reason that he intended: "Watch you back Arsene! Click to continue reading...

Defeat To Manchester United Could Cost Rafael Benitez His Job – Terry Venables

Anfield Talk 24 October @ 11:29 AM EST
Former England manager Terry Venables has claimed Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez could lose his job if his side taste defeat to Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday.
Having lost four games in a row, their worst record for 22 years, the Reds are under huge pressure to get a result in Sunday's clash against their arch-rivals in order to get their season back on track. Click to continue reading...

What happens next?

Middlesbrough FC news, match reports and articles - Boro Mania 22 October @ 03:47 AM EST

After 27 years supporting Middlesbrough Football Club, I could be forgiven for thinking I had seen it all. Cup finals, relegations, promotions. Liquidation, Europe. Memorable victories and crushing defeats. I thought nothing about the club would ever truly surprise me again. Tuesday night, I was proven wrong.

Use of wing backs will only put teams in a flap

The Arsenal Column 07 September @ 11:11 AM EST

With the use of wing backs decreasing in the modern game, Chile coach Marcelo Bielsa has set his side up to play in an intriguing 3-3-1-3 formation but he must be wary of the it's weaknesses.
______________________________________________________________________________

Three years ago, during England's ill-fated 2008 European Championship Qualifiers, then manager Steve Mclaren made a bold move which shocked and surprised everyone; he was to play a 3-5-2.

Paul “Gazza” Gascoigne

Retrofootball 04 September @ 03:14 PM EST

El otro día en Retrofootball hablábamos de Mágico González y os mencionábamos otro grande, Paul Gascoigne.

Para nosotros es uno de los jugadores ingleses más carismáticos de todos los tiempos. Cabe mencionar a otros como Bobby Charlton o Peter Shilton, pero sin duda "Gazza" es de los más recordados por los aficionados de las islas.

Chelsea Captain and Owen ‘Two Of A Kind’?

Republik Of Mancunia 08 August @ 04:30 AM EST

I was immediately drawn to an article written by Terry Venables for The Sun entitled "Owen and JT are two of a kind". It wasn't because I am particularly fond of Venables or the tabloid paper but because I was intrigued as to how the two players could be alikened.

Whilst the initial reaction towards Owen wasn't great, our feelings for the former Kop hero have warmed.

Robson was one of the greats

Soccerphile World Cup Blog 06 August @ 07:51 AM EST
Bobby Robson's passing was an event charitably marked by the soccer world. He left the world at 76 as one of the major coaches in the world with a CV as impressive as any.
While his two heroic World Cup exits dominated most of the obituaries, his achievements in coaching winning teams in four countries are to my mind his greatest. Click to continue reading...

England’s women aim to outshine men in Finland

View from the Terraces 25 July @ 03:42 PM EST

A report by the Commission on the Future of Women's Sport which the BBC's Gordon Farquhar blogged about earlier this month points out that just 2% of media coverage on elite sport focuses on women. Now I first got into writing about football by following one of my best friend's journeys through the matches, tournaments and politics of women's football in Oxford.

Jermaine Pennant and the British in Spain

SoccerLens 11 July @ 04:27 AM EST

So Jermaine Pennant, the forgotten man of Merseyside, has jumped ship for sunnier and warmer shores, namely, Real Zaragoza. Perhaps this move will come as a bit of a shock to some of you?

Well he was linked with Real Madrid pre-Galacticos II era, so his move to the Mediterranean is not as much of a surprise as first thought.

Football is corrupt: Get in while you can!

Football in the Capital 06 July @ 06:39 PM EST
Ever wondered why so many rich people and wannabees get involved in football. Clearly Reading the book by Tom Bower, Broken Dreams, about the amazing corruption of Brian Clough, Socceroos Boss Terry Venables, Arsenal supremo George Graham and former Leicester player come $25 million dollar income player agent Dennis Roach football is a great way to pocket the odd $200,000 in cash for doing sod all.

Southgate makes tough decision

Middlesbrough FC news, match reports and articles - Boro Mania 21 June @ 04:05 AM EST

Middlesbrough have announced that, after 3 years as assistant manager, Malcolm Crosby has left the club.

The angry majority of Boro fans have been calling for boss Gareth Southgate's head for a long while now, but this back-room departure comes somewhat out of the blue. According to the report on BBC Sport, and Crosby's comments, the decision was down to Southgate.

"El Tel" has to eat his words..

Soccerblog 29 May @ 03:36 AM EST

Terry Venables has learned that it is wise to mince one's words - just in case you have to eat them later.Here's a quote he gave to the Mail online that he must be finding a bit hard to digest now.

"If it does come down to Messi against Ronaldo, well, Messi is one of the best players in the world, but give me Ronaldo.

Defeat and Red Card Spoils FC Barcelona's Title Party

All About F C Barcelona 24 May @ 01:09 AM EST


FC Barcelona - 0, Osasuna - 1
A second consecutive defeat and a red card to debutant Muniesa spoiled the night in which Fc Barcelona was handed the La Liga Trophy. The Red Card more than the defeat spoiled the mood as a defeat was expected with team Guardiola lined up. In my preview to the match, I emphasised on the importance of having some of our main players on the pitch, especially the defense. Click to continue reading...
