In the latest from The Special One (and friends) Jose and It go on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire to raise money for the Berbatov Appeal. There’s also a not very convincing apology to Nani, the return of Ameobi super-fan Dave, another mysterious glimpse at Capello and – déjà vu alert – the promise [...]

Spain’s big two opened La Liga with away defeats. First Barcelona went to newly promoted Numancia and left with a 1-0 defeat. Mario Martinez put the underdogs ahead in the 13th minute and Barca never came back. Samuel Eto’o and Leo Messi hit the woodwork (side note: are we going to call it woodwork for [...]

Did Zlatan Ibrahimovic Get Away With Handball?
By: Daryl | 7 Comments
Zlatan Ibrahimovic either a) scored an excellent goal for Internazionale after a one two with Amantino Mancini or b) scored a questionable goal for Internazionale after getting away with handball.
I’ve watched this video more times than I’m prepared to admit in an effort to make a decision, and still can’t call it. I will say [...]

Chelsea without a defeat, Tottenham without a win. Sounds ominous but it’s early in the season so you never know, right?
If you can’t see the game, or just want some internet company while you watch, then click here to follow Rob’s LiveBlog of Chelsea vs Spurs over at Premier League Offside.
Kick off is 1:30pm GMT [...]
Category: English Premier LeaguePortsmouth’s Big Man Little Man Partnership Finally Clicks
By: Daryl | No Comments
Much was made of Portsmouth’s pairing of Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe, a seemingly classic big man little man combo that produced exactly zero goals in the first two games.
But today it finally happened like we all imagined it would, when Crouch flicked on for Defoe, and Defoe turned Lescott to score. Portsmouth went on [...]
Category: English Premier LeagueToto Di Natale Kicks Off Serie A With Class
By: chris | 7 Comments
What began as the first game of the Serie A campaign quickly became The Antonio Di Natale Show with two fantastic goals in the first 34 minutes (first up top, cheeky chip after the jump). They weren’t powerful volleys launched from the other half or zig-zag runs from the other box, they were just pure [...]
Paul Scholes With Possibly the Best Handball Ever
By: Daryl | 19 Comments
It didn’t count, and it got him sent off for a second bookable offence. But Paul Schol’s handball in the dying moments of Man Utd’s 2-1 defeat to Zenit St Petersburg was still a might impressive effort.
First of all it’s bravely blatant. None of that sneaky stuff favoured by Diego Maradone, just a full on [...]

By: chris | No Comments
According to UEFA, the Greek Super League is more than twice as good as the Cypriot First Division (coefficient ranking of 25.8 to 10.1). Doesn’t matter. First it was Anorthosis, rewarded with a spot in the Group of Holy Shit I Don’t Want To Watch This, who dispatched Olympiacos from Europe, and today saw AC [...]

According to Real Madrid, Robinho is going nowhere, and that includes Chelsea. Think it’s safe to say that Real’s failure to sign David Villa from Valencia has a lot to do with it.
Real won’t let Robinho go unless they have a suitable replacement. And so if Robinho fails to arrive at Stamford Bridge, then Chelsea [...]

A publication with too much time and too little content has decided to scour the globe for the best restroom areas known to man, and on that list at #20 is one Cafe do Gol. A “soccer-themed restaurant-bar-discotheque complex currently under construction” which is owned by Romario in Rio. On the doors are caricatures of [...]

By: Daryl | 1 Comment
Well, I did get a couple of things right last week, like Daniel Sturridge scoring for Man City. But overall, not so good. Arsenal to beat Fulham? You’d think so, but no.
But maybe third time’s the charm. Here are my predictions for week three in the Premier League.

Week one, also known as “throw shit against the wall and see how much sticks”. How will new players adapt? Which young’uns will turn into stars? Will another big club begin a rough year? Will Maurizio Zamparini fire someone before halftime? All questions we need answered which won’t be answered until at the very least [...]
