    Spanish Football is in trouble..

    The death knell of Spanish Football as we know it is sounding. The rampaging bulls of Barcelona are over-taking the now wounded lion of Madrid in an attempt to show dominance not just in Spain, but in Europe as well. With the capture of David Villa for around £34.2million the sands of power are...
  2. Our League Two Record

    I heard a "This time next year we'll be Champions" chant at both Stockport and Southampton games so I thought I would provide some food for thought for anyone expecting an immediate return to League One... We have spent 20 seasons in fourth tier in 6 separate spells including 7 finishes in...

    Scudamore Is A Mad Fool

    I hope you’ll ignore the sheen of cold sweat across my face today. I’m not ill, I’ve just been reading those interviews with Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore. It was a most disconcerting experience, rather like jumping into a cab and realising, as the engine roars and the locks...

    An open letter to Spurs fans

    Dear Spuds I see from the celebrations you enjoyed last night (and the numerous Facebook updates from your kind) that finishing in the top 20% of the Premier League for the first time in a generation is like winning the Euopean Cup to you. I'm glad that has put into perspective your ambitions...

    Fourth? Pah!

    Has there ever been a tag-line as profoundly underwhelming as the ‘Battle For Fourth’? Even for the English, who celebrate mediocrity with such enthusiasm that Tim Lovejoy has been encouraged to forge a career in broadcasting, this is a new low. Fourth? It’s not even a place on the podium. It’s...

    Malta's Premier League Champions...

    Surprised this hasn't already been discussed seeing as the news has sent shockwaves around Europe and beyond! Much fancied Valletta (who spent big by Maltese football standards this season) were pipped to the title by Birkirkara this year...

    Durham City FC

    http://unibondleague.pitchero.com/tables.php Played 38 games won 2 drawn 0 lost 36 but they have 0 points because they had 6 deducted!!! They were Northern League champions in 1994 and again in 2008, gaining entry to the Northern Premier League First Division North. They won that division at...
  9. Europa League

    Now that the Champions League final has been sorted out, it is now down to the Europa League. Liverpool are trying to rescue a dire season and Roy Hodgson will try and become one of Fulham's greatest ever managers by doing something quite incredible. Who will you be watching? Who do you think...

    BOGMISH Rd 1:2 - Stockport v Freddy's debut

    Aptly enough on the day after relegation back to the fourth division, our second first round tie throws up two 4th division promotion seasons. The first one, was the 1986/87 season and ORM's nomination of Stockport away. Football was having a bad time with the Bradford Fire disaster and Hysel...

    Rules for women during the World Cup.

    I am not sure if this has been posted before or not. 1. From 11 June to 11 July 2010, you should read the sport pages so you are aware of what's going on regarding the World Cup and will be able to join in conversations. If you fail to do this, you'll be looked at in a bad way or be totally...

    Life In Tottenham

    Grown men bounce into each other like rubber balls on the street outside, screaming incoherently at each other in beery ecstasty. At the front door, a woman tries desperately to light a cigarette in shaking hands, eventually giving up and asking the bouncer to help, tears of joy in her eyes. All...

    A Bit of Fun RM's new Bentley breaks down on the way to Court

    Apparently, red faces all round and air was blue as RM's smart new 10 registered Bentley broke down close to Tower Hill tube station this morning. RM hastily tried to find a cash machine to enable him to top up his oyster card - only to find his card bounced. Apparently, he managed to...
  14. League two

    with results not going our way I think its now time to build for next season. Play the youths Steve and give them experience in preparation for next season League Two champions 2010/2011
  15. Real Outclassed in El Clasico to Forget

    Lionel Messi and Pedro Rodriguez sealed a dominant win for Barcelona in El Clasico, seemingly deciding the La Liga title race as Real were left out thought, out fought and out classed. This will, by no means, go down in history as an El Clasico to remember. Barcelona entered the contest coming...

    English Football Not ****ed. Yet.

    For the first time since 2003, the Champions League will enter the semi-final stage without English involvement. Lyon, bane of Liverpool, will play Manchester United’s conquerors, Bayern Munich, while Barcelona will bound on from their mauling of Arsenal by taking on Inter Milan, the club who...
  17. ESB's Masters Preview

    The Masters at Augusta is one of the most eagerly anticipated sporting events, this year given more impetus by the not-so-surprising return of Tiger Woods. At the risk of overshadowing a landmark event in the golfing calendar, Woods has pledged to put his previous indiscretions behind him and...

    Rubbish Arsenal Fans

    This is the uncut version of a column for tomorrow's Irish Examiner. I have to strip out 125 words before I can file, but I wanted the full version to get read before I took the knife to it. These people, they really, really grind my balls. The Arsenal fans. Not the Irish. They're lovely...
  19. Xavi Takes Centre Stage in Football Spectacle

    When two teams of the highest calibre collide, it wouldn’t be beyond the realms of possibility that they negate each other and the feature becomes something of an anti-climax. Not when Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola are around. No. This was special. Barcelona flew out of the traps as if to...

    Ronnie Whelan to replace Rafa at Liverpool.

    Listening to the podcast of Spoony's 606 this morning, a 'Pool fan phoned and said it is time for Rafa to go. He called on the club to appoint 'somebody from within... an ex-player or something.' The obvious name the caller first suggested was Dalglish. When Marcotti said that there's probably...
