Poor old Cesc is off to the shops! …..

Avenell Road 17 November @ 02:58 AM EST

The Boys From White Hart Lane 16 November @ 09:31 AM EST
Apologies about the lack of posting recently. I've slipped into an euphoria-induced coma at the sight of Tom Huddlestone and Peter Crouch both coming on for England in Doha on Saturday. The prognosis? I'll be okay in the long run but Jermaine Jenas definitely won't go to the World Cup.
I promise normal service will be resumed shortly, once the deluge of Uni work is eased a little bit. Click to continue reading...

England were wrong to leave out Wright…………..

Avenell Road 13 November @ 06:19 AM EST

Ian Edward Wright, known now by many a name but during in footballing career he was fondly known as ‘Wrighty'.

Born in the fine year of 1963, he went on to be a half decent striker at Crystal Palace and then Arsenal and boy, did he love to score!

He had a bit of a strange start to his career in football, he had trials at both Southend and Brighton while in his teenage years but neither club thought he was good enough and let him go on his merry way.

With J Hutcherson -- For the United States National Team, proving it in Europe no longer has the same impact it did in the Arena era. Results will do that, and the United States has shown they can get them against mid-tier European teams. Even against the elite, the US hasn't simply rolled over.

...and I would really appreciate it if I had an Arsenal win to enjoy, sadly that does not seem to be the case due to another round of utterly pointless internationals.

I hope it sticks for a while..

Best Football Advert Ever… The Toon Honey Monster

Inthestands.co.uk - Football Banter For the Masses - Football Blog 29 October @ 10:21 PM EST

I'm rolling back the years here to an advert from 1996. It is Kevin Keegan giving the Sugar Puff's Honey Monster a run out at Wembley for the Toon Army and the big man grabbing a powerful header on the backstick. Classic...

Produced at a time when Newcastle were at the height of their popularity across the country, as they played some of the best football around and Keegan's men were pushing for the title.

Hammers!!! (That Was a Real Ball Pein).

Avenell Road 26 October @ 01:29 PM EST

Last year when we was going through our barren (pre Arshavin) spell if someone had said would you be happy with a 2-2 draw away against the Whammers I would have taken that all day long. But this year we have progressed as a team, a team that can pass forwards and create chances with ease. We still lack the mental capacity to finish games off.

Ukraine 1-0 England: Silver Linings

All Action, No Plot 12 October @ 01:48 PM EST

Do excuse me while I momentarily don my England hat: this missive, from one of the souls frequently to be found loitering around AANP Towers, appeared on football365.com earlier today:

Whatever the rights and wrongs of Rio's concentration lapse, the curious manner in which Green was sent off, the withdrawal of Lennon and the fact that we lost, it strikes me as far more useful than if we'd played with 11 and coasted to a comfy victory.

Jonjon's view on Yesterday's game.

I had to talk about the game as I was about to burst inside..

That was magnificent, that performance showed many aspects of the new improved 2009-10 team...

A while ago, I think it was Ave and me that talked about the fact that if we learned to finish off our chances we dont need to worry about defending.

The Old Man of Senegal.

Avenell Road 04 October @ 06:18 AM EST

Has the transfer window opened again? I awoke to see the headlines about Arsenal being linked to three players. Bolton's Gary Cahill just as a back up centre half, he could be just the answer especially with Johan out until February with a knee injury, Song our other back up centre half going to the Africa Cup of Nations.
