How to support your team. . .

November 29, 2012

Even without any sort of virtual soapbox or moral high ground it would not be a challenging task to write once more about football fans in damning and negative terms in a week where West Ham have been forced into an apology to Spurs and the Chelsea ‘faithful’ decided to boo a manager with two La Liga titles and a Champions League win under his belt before a ball had been kicked. It was particularly ironic to hear Tottenham acting hurt given the pure filth the supporters of that club have subjected Arsene Wenger and Sol Campbell to down the [...]

Wales v New Zealand: Warren’s Return

November 22, 2012

Welsh rugby has never been the most stable, but when Warren Gatland turns his back for five minutes and Wales lose five games in a row you do get the impression the Kiwi is either a coach of such rare class and quality that he can turn mud into gold, or that his assistant Rob Howley is capable of reversing such a procedure. I’m sure Gatland always planned to return for the visit of his native New Zealand after time off through injury and doing a bit of work for the Lions tour, and I’m also pretty certain he would [...]

Spend, Arsene!

October 25, 2012

Arsenal held their Annual General Meeting this week, with the fans given a chance to question the board and hopefully receive answers regarding the future spending plans of a team that has seen their best players leave on a fairly regular basis in recent years. Without sounding too critical it is fair to say Ivan Gazidis was rather guilty of using his training as a lawyer when answering, or rather failing to do so, questions from the crowd, and other board members were interrupted for the same reason. The overwhelming feeling at the end of the meeting appears to have [...]

City in Amsterdam: Ajax ho!

October 23, 2012

All the old money/new money argument that goes on in the world of football right now is very amusing to any fan with a modicum of knowledge about the roots of the bigger clubs who are now complaining about the PSG’s and those rich folk, but the fact of the matter is no team has suffered so much as Ajax from the professionalization of the game. The mid-nineties saw and Ajax team built through youth development and extension of Cruyff’s thinking conquer Europe, and even the modern Barcelona side can’t match them for the sheer number of stars produced at [...]

Moto GP: Motegi

October 5, 2012
Motegi

Were the season to play out with the riders that started last time out, the four races we have left may feel a little bit like a procession for Jorge Lorenzo as the Yamaha man makes his way to another world title, and one you’d have to say he deserves. However, this weekend we have the equivalent of a banker’s wildcard being thrown into the mix with the re-introduction of possibly the greatest rider of his generation back into the mix, as Casey Stoner returns from the horrific crash that ended his title challenge to potentially help his team-mate to [...]

Liverpool v Man Utd: Preview

September 20, 2012
Evra

Sadly for the fans a few of the better contests in the Premier League have become rather unpleasant over recent years, what with the nastiness over Sol Campbell at White Hart Lane and Adebayor’s inspired celebration against Arsenal for City, but I doubt any of those moments produced as many words written in anger as the one last term in this fixture. We all know what Luis Suarez said, or at least those of us who read the reports do, and it is clear both managers want to move on from the unsavoury incident and focus on the football. On [...]
