Why I’d like to see Sheva be a sucess in the Premier League
By: Rob |So apparently despite interest from Roma, Andriy Shevchenko intends to see out his Chelsea contract and prove his worth, assuming he isn’t forced out by the club. Good on him. For a multitude of reasons, I genuinely hope he’s a success, and finally blows away the last couple of torrid years.
Firstly, he’s always seemed [...]
They Aren’t in the Premier League Anymore…
By: Rob |…But that doesn’t mean they’ve stopped being brilliant comic value…
Open Thread: Who do you want your club to sign this summer?
By: Rob |So the transfer season is well and truly upon us. Santa Cruz is finally going to Manchester City, Tevez is about to leave Manchester United (Though not the city entirely, perhaps). So I thought I would open this up to all you Offsiders. Who do you want to see wearing your colours next season?
It can [...]
Common Sense lost as Transfer Market goes a bit crazy
By: Rob |So, looks like Glen Johnson is going to be back in the big four, as he’s about to sign for Liverpool. Good on him, he’s had a pretty good season for Portsmouth and a great game for England last week. I don’t have a problem with that.
How much is the move for? Well, £17m. [...]
5 Reasons Why…Looking for Eric is the best Football Film Ever
By: Rob |Today I got that rare oppurtunity to indulge two of my great loves at the same time, football and cinema. Usually when that happens, the results are really tragic. Football on the silver screen has a very chequered past, but things seem to be begining to change. Earlier this year we had The Damned United, [...]
What you can buy for £80m
By: Rob |You might have read that Real Madrid have had an £80m bid for Ronaldo accepted. I thought it might be interesting to note what they could have spent that money on, or indeed, what Man United could spend that money on…
1.4 Kaká’s
1,600,000 tickets to see Britney Spears in London
80% of Newcastle United

Ronaldo off to Madrid for £80m. For Real this time.
By: Rob |Manchester United have, at the behest of the player himself, accepted an £80m bid from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo. Let me be the first to say Eighty million pounds? How fucking absurd.
“At Cristiano’s request – who has again expressed his desire to leave – and after discussion with the player’s representatives, United have [...]
Why Setanta Sports going into Administration matters to us all.
By: Rob |There’s no doubt about the dubious impact that BskyB has had on the Premier League. When England’s top league was merely Division One, no-one thought you could put proper live football on, and get a decent audience. So Sky bullied their way in, gave the league a rebranding, and made everyone pay, first for Sky, [...]
Chelsea try to hijack Kaka transfer
By: Rob |Well, we should have seen this coming. Despite reports yesterday that Kaka’s move from Milan to Madrid was basically done and would be formalised early next week, reports are coming through from Sky Sports that Chelsea are attempting to move in on the deal with a better offer (for player and for Milan) that would [...]
Promotion Profiles – Birmingham City
By: Wayne Farry |Sorry for the delay with the second of these but it’s been a long time since I was so disappointed as I was after Wednesday night. The last few days have been sort of a blur but I’m back and lucid as ever, so must keep going. A few weeks back I covered Wolves and [...]
