Still, as this Premier league football blog points out he did have a go at Allardyce the other day and it was a moderatly amusing dig. Having said that, someone on Radio 5 last night was saying how Rafa and Martinez think there's a group of managers (Sam, Sir Alex and a few others) who pick on Rafa ...

Other things that look to be a bad idea while driving include walking your dog. As this bloke here found out.

I'm pretty sure Homer did that in the Simpsons once. Who would have thought copying an idiotic cartoon character could backfire in anyway?

Without having any "facts" to hand, just working off instinct, it does seem we get more fractures and serious mucle tears/pulls in the last few years on the pitch than in the days of old when tackles used to be about a week late in some instances. Anyone have any thing on this? I seem to remember "...

You'd be bordeline with 2 pints of Ale. Yes. In Washington State, and in England I believe, the limit is .08%, which is absurdly low. I think politicians keep lowering it because there's no "drunk driving lobby" to stop them, so it makes them look like they are doing something while ignoring health...

Spurs food poisioning.

This story on the BBC website has really brightened my day. Always nice to see Spurs in the proverbial... Genius quote for Redknapp too... "We've closed the training ground. It's off limits. We're just going to train there and that's it" Ummmmmmmmmmmmm. So you've not closed the training ground and i...

We won't win the thing anyway, but at this rate we'll struggle to get past the last 16. As for Bridge's decsion,...

Piennar on drink driving charge.

Steven Piennar has been arrested for drink driving according to this BBC News report. Now drink driving is always stupid, but what poseses footballers to do it? He's hardly going to be short of a few bob for a taxi. In fact, he could have probably just left the car altogether and got a new one... Th...

Could David Moyes replace Fergie?

I've just been reading this Premier League manager blog and it suggests that David Moyes is the ideal man to take over from Sir when he finally decides to retire. Now, Moyes has certainly done a good job at Everton but has he really got what it takes to manage a club like United? He's got a very tig...

I've been to a fair few non-league games in my time and the atmosphere is usually cracking. I've paid a lot more than £7 quid for the pleasure too. Standing behind the goal the team you're supporting is attacking for both halves of the game is a rare treat as well.

Wolves punished for weakened team.

Wolves have been handed a £25,000 suspended fine for fielding a weakened team against Man U ealier this season. The BBC News story is here . Am I alone in thinking that this raises many serious questions. Ok, it looks like Wolves broke some rules, but why hadn't we heard of them before? Wolves are n...

Porto v Arsenal

I'm strangely looking forward to this game, not least because I think it'll give some indication as to the strength of the EPL when compared to other international leagues. As this Champions League football blog points out Porto aren't exactly giants, but then neither are Arsenal. It should be a fin...

Great player. From what you hear a nice bloke, but a deeply troubled man.

As for the other stuff... Chants can go beyond the pale, but there's worse ones than that... I'm thinking of THAT one about Wegner. Now that really is a disgrace.

It does seem a daft idea... But it could happen, it only needs the approval of 14 of the 20 teams. It would wreck the league though. In fact, I think offering four Champions League places did a lot of damage too as it meant you pretty much got the same reward for fourth as you did for winning the th...

Meh, I like him. I'm not planning on making him my best man or anything, but as a footballing personality he's fairly entertaining.

Now usually I'm as blinkered as the next man when it comes to anticipating World Cup victory for England. Despite the fact I know we're not very good, the closer to the tournament we get the more convinced I am that we're going to manage to go all the way regardless. This year though, I just can't b...

Ummmmm.... Is Robbie Savage comparing himself to Roy Keane?

In response to Birmingham's Roger Johnson having a bit of a go at him Savage said: "“I would never have gone up to someone like Roy Keane and said what Johnson said in my first season in the Premier League. He was out of order." To which I say. Well he didn't, did he Robbie? He said it to you. A jou...
