The Liverpool/Chelsea Rivalry

By: Rob | Comments 3 Comments

So its another all-big-four matchup this weekend, as Liverpool take on Chelsea. Its probably a bit to much to ask for a game like last seasons Champions League second leg (above), but it does serve as a nice reminder that not EVERY match between these teams is a dreadfully boring draw.
The clubs have, in [...]

Correlation, its not always Causation.

By: Rob | Comments 10 Comments

So the big talking point of the day, is the apparent “proof” that Man United get more stoppage time when they’re down than when they’re up. Of course, this has been suspected and pointed out before, but now, apparently it is backed up by statistics.
As Chris on the Front Page via The Guardian has [...]

Why Setanta Sports going into Administration matters to us all.

By: Rob | Comments 9 Comments

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, [...]

Is Going Down The Best Thing For Newcastle?

By: Rob | Comments 5 Comments

My God, they’ve had a roller-coaster season. And today Newcastle United found themselves condemned to Championship football after losing to Aston Villa. Middlesbrough join the Toon in the second tier, and despite Hull and Sunderland both suffering final day defeats, it was enough to keep them in the top flight.
The turmoil at Newcastle this season [...]

By: Rob | Comments 4 Comments

We haven’t talked about the North-East’s favourite soap-opera for awhile – unfortunatly it took a distressing turn, as apparently when Joe Kinnear was taken to hospital this weekend, it was because he needs to undergo an Op on his heart.

Getting out of training. Newcastle United Style.

By: Rob | Comments 1 Comment

Newcastle United had to call off training this morning when Geordie Striker Andy Carroll and French midfielder Charles N’Zogbia came to blows after a late tackle from the former on the latter. N’Zogbia is reportedly trying to get out of Newcastle, and perhaps he felt that giving a local boy a bit of a thumping [...]

Confession Box: What was your biggest moment of football treachery?

By: Rob | Comments 14 Comments

I was going through my meagre living space earlier on, and I found a T-Shirt – wouldn’t have meant much to most people on first glance, but it was a Portugal Shirt. In fact it was a Portugal shirt from Euro 2004.
Euro 2004, of course provided one of the best games of football you are [...]

Barton gets 12-game ban from FA

By: Rob | Comments 1 Comment

Joey Barton has been given a complex 12 game ban by the FA after his assault on former Manchester City teamate Ousmane Dabo. I say complex, because instead of doing the thing that we could all understand and giving him a 12 game ban, the FA have decided to ban Barton for six games, with [...]
