“He’s a great champion. I hope he’s happy with us. We’ll take turns taking free kicks,” Ronaldinho speaking on the incoming David Beckham.

But still, one can’t help but look at these photos of the meeting – the one where Michael Ballack & Jogi Löw man hugged and made up before awkwardly shifting to tension breaking subjects like chicks and cars [...]

Everton v Fulham, 12:45
Looks like an Everton win, until you realize the Toffees have only picked up two home points this season. And Andy Johnson (finally) found his shooting boots on Wednesday, so maybe he’ll do a Bentley against his old employers. If you’re feeling ambitious, AJ’s 250-1 for a hat-trick.
Odds: (win/draw/win [...]

Watch this video and tell me if Phil Thompson is a) happy, b) sad, or c) indifferent.
Phil’s not exactly one to hide his emotions and feelings on live television, but Arsenal – Tottenham was such a magical game it transcended fandoms and I can imagine this was the reaction of many across England when Lennon [...]

Category: PollsNo More Free Rides For Sheffield Wednesday
By: chris | No Comments
(I cringed at the headline too.)
There are a certain number of things profession athletes can count on: money, a certain degree of fame, lots of free clothes, and not having to pony up for commutes on “official business”. That is, unless you play for Sheffield Wednesday.
