This was the face that told the story, as Liverpool was stunned at Craven Cottage yesterday, taking a 3-1 loss with them into their Champions League clash against Lyon this Wednesday. (So much for that Manchester United revival, huh guys?)
The loss thrusts the spotlight back on Rafa Benitez. But is such scrutiny deserved? [...]
Ivan Klasnić is Indestructible
By: Daryl | 4 Comments
Liverpool’s win over Man Utd got all the Premier League attention this weekend, so Ivan Klasnić giving us yet more proof of his indestructibility went a little more under the radar than perhaps it deserved to.
You probably remember Klasnić as the Croatian striker who suffered kidney failure while playing for Werder Bremen in 2007, and [...]
Don’t You Know Who Marlon King Is? (Allegedly.)
By: chris | 6 Comments
Marlon King was once infamously described as being a £60m footballer by Watford, what with him being their key to Premiership involvement. Turns out he was neither the key nor was he worth that amount of money. Rather he was worth £3m two years ago before delving into journeyman loan status, which puts him as [...]

Poor Liverpool. They just can’t catch a break this year. Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard are injured, and a couple of weeks ago they were already approaching the maximum number of losses any team in the [...]
Sir Alex Is In A Letter Writin’ Mood
By: chris | 1 Comment
Days previous the news on the Sir Alex parchment front was his apology, which was never really an apology, for calling Alan Wiley fat. Or unfit. Or bulbous. Something. Seems this letter writing business was such a pleasant experience that Fergie has taken to it again, this time penning a few words to a young [...]
Category: English Premier LeagueNot Sure Who City Are After? Make Someone Up.
By: Rob | 2 Comments
The Sunday Mirror it seems are bored of trying to figure out which players might join Megamoney Manchester City in Janruary, and have decided to just go ahead and make up players.
According to the above picture, they’re now after Carlos Toure of Barcelona. They don’t even mean Yaya Toure, who is mentioned as well. [...]

You’re young, talented and in the door of the big boys’ club at the tender age of 17. You’re a phenomenon. You’re the youngest ever debutant at the club which produced Wayne Rooney, while garnering a favorable comparison.

Nicklas Bendtner and his car had an oopsie earlier this week, from which he emerged without serious injury, but still wearing his goddamn shoes, much to Emmanuel Adebayor’s dismay. As with most near-death victims, when posed on the reason he isn’t missing sitters six feet under, he claims a higher power intervened.
“I believe that somebody [...]

The world is not lacking for stories detailing how Roy Keane did the exact opposite of what you’d expect from your normal living, breathing, feeling living being. Today we have another story about the man currently leading Ipswich Town into a plummet to League One. A story which should draw no gasps, no blank stares, [...]
Category: English Premier LeagueFernando Torres is Ridiculously Good at His Job
By: Daryl | 18 Comments
He may look like your awkward freckly teenage nephew (or maybe even niece) but Fernando Torres is arguably the most graceful goalscorer around these days. There’s something about the way he moves with the ball in the box that makes it look inevitable.
Torres claimed a hat-trick today, as Liverpool demolished Hull 6-1 at Anfield. It [...]

By: chris | 24 Comments
If you’re someone who’s suspected that the set of rules which apply to a certain home team at Old Trafford aren’t quite congruent with the rules applied to everyone else, you’re not alone. Fortunately, those in your camp include those with the time, resources and desire to ponder this theory through pocket protectors and finely [...]
How To Win Fans, By Mickey Owen
By: Rob | 13 Comments
What a Manchester Derby. Man United took the lead three times, only to find local rivals Man City come back three times, at least untill the 95th minute, where Michael Owen forever endeared himself to the Man United support by popping up with a last gasp goal.
An absolute sucker punch for City, whose spirit [...]
