The new England manager
So another Italian has abandoned a sinking ship......But seriously there is but one choice for the job, it simply has to be John Terry as player manager........
The odds are that the Premier League is bent
Some things are just coincidental and some things are not, there is more to them, it is not just luck that has led to a rather unlikely outcome or occurrence. Today Howard Webb referees yet another big Manchester United game. Today Martin Atkinson ...
The topsy turvy rollercoaster
What an improvement on recent league games, we finally clicked into gear and destroyed the opposition, and frankly thank goodness for that. defeat today would have been an utter disaster. A mixture of better finishing and some more incisive play in t...
This squad is not effing good enough
Frankly we are not good enough and it was shown again today against a deeply average Bolton Wanderers side. Yes, we could have won it, but we didn't, Bolton could also have won it, they had a few chances too. Overall we had more of the ball and did...
Sack the manager, oh no, not quite just yet….
If any game of football lived up to the old cliche 'it's a game of two halves' then this was it. We were poor in the first half and so much better in the second. I have to also add that finally we had something go our way for once, although we have...
The Ox goes off, Arshavin comes on and the rest is history
This game was so utterly predictable. The unpredictable part of it was that young Oxlade-Chamberlain started and was arguably our best player, also that Nico Yennaris came on at half time for the hapless Djourou, this also swung the game in our direc...
Dean reduces chances even further and other news
I was not optimistic going into Sunday's game, we have massive injury problems, our squad is down to the barest of bones, our form is poor and consequently confidence is low, and then I heard that the hapless and compliant Mike Dean is to referee the g...
Two step forwards, one step back
We started the season appallingly, no doubt a big reason for this was the late transfer deals which meant that it took us a fair few weeks to get into gear, and those in the know seem to agree that the board were far more to blame for this than our man...
Flaws exposed by plucky Swansea
Firstly I have no time for anyone who is so fickle as to suddenly turn on our manager after a short series of poor results, get a grip on reality and try to be objective, I know it's hard sometimes but engage your brain before letting loose with any bi...
My line up versus Swansea
I have to assume that Per passes his late fitness test as I cannot consider the alternative, to be honest even if Per is still unwell, he is still probably a far better option for us than a fully fit Squillaci. There are rumours that Arteta is not fi...
Injuries and Premier League conflicts
So there is at last some good news on the injury front, Carl Jenkinson has had positive scan results and is back in training, TV5 is not far off and may be back for Manu. Per looks unlikely to beat his flu in time for Swansea, while Johan Djourou is ...
