    Cheated Chelsea Lose The Plot

    It was a night that should have been memorable for the beauty of Michael Essien's opening goal, but it is a raging Didier Drogba who will linger in the mind's eye. Furious with the referee's failure to award any one of four possible penalties, he shouted and screamed in his face before being...

    Nerves Jangle As Race Intensifies

    And that is why you can't write novels about football. It doesn't matter how expertly you construct your prose, nor how gripping your final chapter, the human mind is simply incapable of making the implausible plausible on as regular a basis as reality. Who would dare to write a story about a...

    Villa Fans Need A Reality Check

    The Premier League table has an eerily familiar look, doesn't it? In amongst the excitement of Liverpool's emphatic victory at Old Trafford and the discovery of stardust in the boots of Andrey Arshavin, this was the weekend when Aston Villa finally dipped out of the top four. There can't be many...

    2009 calendar

    Great news for all those people who are fed up with buying a calendar only to find out by June that half of the players illustrated, no longer play for us. We are participating in a Coca Cola League initiative whereby the monthly pics will be interchangeable. Thus, if a player leaves for or...

    Nicky Bailey

    Due to my inability to get back to Southend for the Leeds game (money and timing issues), I had to settle for sitting in the North Stand at Portman Road with a few uni mates, watching Ipswich vs. Charlton. The ability to watch a game as a complete neutral can be pretty damn useful at times...

    Why The Laughter Has To Stop

    It's very rare that you can brutally assess and pass judgement on a football club, as this column did with Tottenham Hotspur two weeks ago, and still be able to come back one match later with plenty of new material. Tottenham, though, are a glorious curiosity for the neutral, but an excuse to...

    This is a vital season for Arsenal

    At this time of year, particularly in the UK, it's not unusual to be struck down by the post-holiday blues. Everywhere you look you can see the sad, sun-tanned faces of those who have let their problems ebb away on a hot beach, only to return home to the sickening blow of normality. For some...

    The battle for succession at Stamford Bridge

    With Avram Grant deposed, the battle for succession at Stamford Bridge is on and there's only man that I want to see given a chance in the hotseat. The enduring bone of contention with Chelsea is that, with limitless funds, they've spent five years building up a very good, but very workman-like...

    As we are all footie fans ,then I think it is O.K. to talk on here about that magnificent Champions League Final last night .Macca at his argumentetive and aggressive worst would not have looked out of place in the Chelsea team in respect of the way they argued and complained about every...

    Newcastle v Chelsea

    Chelsea may have made hard work of it, but two well-taken second half goals gave them a vital victory over Newcastle here at St James Park, and set up a nail-biting finale to the season. Level on points, but separated by a yawning gulf of goals, Avram Grant will have to pray that Manchester...

    Chelsea scramble through

    Chelsea scrambled into the semi-finals of the Champions League with a 2-0 victory over Zico's Fenerbahce that was anything but comfortable, either for the club or for those unfortunate enough to be watching. The continual criticism of their minimalist style of football can be tedious, but you...

    The Grand Slam

    The tension that has been slowly building all week is now approaching critical mass. The clock is ticking down to Grand Slam Sunday and the mind games have begun in earnest. This is what football is all about and I love it. Mind you, I don’t support one of the big four, so I can settle back and...

    How long are people going to keep coming with performances like yesterday. If you were a neutral you would have said both teams were relegation candidates. Ball was hardly on the floor at all. I will keep coming regardless, but i know people who have been to a few games and would not suffer...

    Totally unbiased match preview

    I normally have a team to write the betting previews on the front page of ladbrokes.com, but I pulled rank and insisted I do the Southend vs Col Ewe one. I did of course maintain the company policy of keeping these things neutral and unbiased:
