Hodgson makes solid start to Liverpool reign

Liverpool may have faced trickier European ties down the years, but last night’s victory against Rabotnicki was a good start to the 2010-11 season. An inexperienced Reds side was spearheaded by Frenchman David Ngog who scored a brace to secure the 2-0 victory. However, Liverpool’s season proper begins on August 15th with a tough Premier League opener against Arsenal at Anfield, followed by an away...

After Martin Jol left Fulham FC in the lurch by deciding to remain manager of Ajax at the eleventh hour, Mark Hughes is now the obvious choice to take over at Fulham. With only 2 weeks to go until the start of the season, the Fulham Board really need to name their new manager, and fast. It’s been reported today that Mark Hughes will be the man they go for, and he is an obvious choice for a number of reasons. Hughes...

Tottenham manager, Harry Redknapp, has just had his contract extended by the club which will see him in charge until 2013. The hard work for Harry really starts now, however. Redknapp’s deal at White Hart Lane was set to expire in 2011, however there was a clause which allowed the club to extend his contract by another two years, and they have just taken this option up. It’s no surprise that the Tottenham board...

On Sunday evening a much improved Spain side will meet the most consistent team of the World Cup, the Netherlands, to contest sport’s greatest prize. After an opening game defeat to Switzerland, the Spanish team now find themselves in the biggest game of their lives.

Capello should do the right thing, stand down

Posted by Anthony on Jun 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment

After an abysmal World Cup display by the England team, Fabio Capello needs to do the right thing, stand down. No one can argue that the 2010 World Cup campaign for the England team has been anything other that an unmitigated disaster, from start to finish. The team played awful football, failed to top the easiest group in the competition, and crashed out with the worst ever defeat in English World Cup history. Fabio... 

Not winning Group C is a disaster for England

Posted by Anthony on Jun 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment

England are through to the knockout stages of the World Cup, however not winning Group C is a disaster for Fabio Capello as his team now has a much tougher route through to the final. England finished second in Group C following a last minute goal for the United States against Algeria, and this means they now face Germany in the last 16 knockout phase on Sunday. If they manage to overcome the Germans, they will then... 

Although tough, England’s run in could be of benefit

Posted by Jim on Jun 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment

England look to be on the harder side of the World Cup draw following on from their second place finish in group C.  In order to even reach the semi finals, Capello’s men will have to overcome both Germany and (most likely) Argentina. Although tough on the face of it, this draw has the possibility to work in the favour of England. As anyone who watched England during the group stage will testify, they... 

Five reasons Capello got it wrong on the night

The England Manager has to take a lot of the blame for another drab performance by the England team last night, and now he really has to get it right if England are to stand any chance of progressing far in this competition. It started so well for the England Manager as Emile Heskey combined with Steven Gerrard to set up the first England goal, inside ten minutes. Unfortunately for the Italian that was as good as... 

United lost title at Ewood Park

Posted by Anthony on May 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment

When Sir Alex Ferguson reflects back on the season he may well point to the 0-0 draw at Blackburn Rovers as the result that really cost his side the Premiership title. It was a bad ten days for the Club from the North West, as his side lost to Chelsea and were dumped out of the Champions League on the away goals rule. It should not come a massive surprise to us then that the Manchester United Manager struggled to...
