Spurs are thought to be weighing up a swap deal for AZ Alkmaar's Sebastien Pocognoli with left-back Lee Young-pyo moving in the other direction. AZ are understood to be big fans of out-of-favour Lee while Tottenham have been linked with Belgian defender Pocognoli recently after a number of impressive displays for his country at the Olympic [.

Berbatov… Any minute now…

0
Dimitar Berbatov's side fell to Middlesbrough in their season opener, as the very frustrated Bulgarian sat on the bench. "If I had been laughing when I was on the bench, people would say I was an idiot," he said. Obviously Berbatov has fallen out of favor with Tottenham. So like any heavily pursued footballer Berbatov revealed his "dreams", [. Click to continue reading...

Football Weekend In Review - 16/17 August 2008

0
This weekend was certainly packed with really exciting games and I am here to offer my thoughts on the ones that I watched.

The Blackburn/Everton game was certainly the most exciting of the weekend in my opinion. Blackburn looked very strong in the first half and Everton was lucky not to have given up more than one goal. Click to continue reading...

Premiership All-Star Team--Round 1

0
I'm going to do something new this season. After every round of games -- that is to say, after any league games that have been played between Tuesday of one week and Tuesday of the next (which takes into account the rare Monday night game) -- I'm going to name an All-Star Team based on that week's performances.

Is it time to panic yet?

2
The first weekend of the 08/09 season saw Tottenham lose away to Middlesbrough, Manchester United held to a draw at home to Newcastle, Portsmouth destroyed in a game that will be as remembered for Chelsea's tactical superiority as the lack of effort from Pompey players and Everton lose at home to a Blackburn side that [.

Everton and Middlesbrough suffered from bad referee decisions

0
The 2008-09 Premier League season kicks-off with the Right Result team back in action and as always there were some big talking points. Everton were familiar subjects of Right Result judgments last season and the Toffees are off to an early start this term, being hard-done-by in their encounter with Paul Ince's Blackburn Rovers outfit.

Thoughts on the first week of Premiership action

1
Let's be honest here. He had no idea where that cross was going. Not too many huge shocks this week. I have to admit, I did expect more of Tottenham, but that is my fault rather than Spurs, who have specialized throughout their history in receiving all kinds of hype and then failing to come [...] Click to continue reading...

Wenger: Arsenal not like Chelsea, better than Tottenham and Liverpool

1
Wenger's position at Arsenal has been over the years an object of respect, envy and curiosity. How does he get them playing so well so young? How can they keep winning even with a threadbare squad? How come he's not out of a job yet? More and more people are asking that last question in recent [...] Click to continue reading...

Quote of the Day...

Glory Fans - Not So Bad After All?

As a child, the summer holidays brought about a family trip to a campsite in Europe. We'd get in the car to travel down to Dover and I would always be wearing my United shirt. After hours and hours of driving, we'd pull in at our designated tin can and the holiday had begun. It wouldn't [...] Click to continue reading...

What are Spurs, United and Berbatov dreaming of?

1
Dimitar Berbatov has taken over from Cristiano Ronaldo as the 'big' story of the transfer window, and last week there were a flurry of news reports claiming that Berba was 'on his way' to Old Trafford and would line up for the Red Devils on Sunday.

Don't panic

It's one game people. I was as disappointed as anyone to lose the first game of the season but let's keep things in perspective.

Middlesbrough are a decent side at home and probably the biggest positive of all is the fact they often turn over the top four at the Riverside, it must be a sign! Click to continue reading...

Ramos Revolution Still Has Some Way to Go

0

Two goals in the span of fifteen minutes saw Middlesbrough kickoff the new campaign with a 2-1 win.

Interesting game from my point of view. There's a reason why Justin Hoyte's moving to Boro. They need a reliable left back. David Wheater on the day was a bit on the poor side leaving Brad Jones out to dry on a couple of occasions and looking very shaky on a couple more.

International News: DĂ©jĂ  vu for England?

2
Following the squad announcement of the England national team for their friendly encounter with Czech Republic, the stunning re-emergence of Emile Heskey into the international setup is a decision which has to be looked at with considerable surprise. The Wigan striker has a worthy 45 caps to his name and it is clear that Capello is one of Heskey's leading supporters, but is it not time to give others a chance rather than reverting back to old tactics?
