Robinho has made a fantastic start to his Man City career, scoring 8 goals in his first 11 matches, including a delightful chip over Manuel Almunia on Saturday. It is often said that players need a time to acclimatise to English football, particularly Brazilians (more failures than successes…) and the fact Robinho has made such [...]
Just to compound my frustration, anger and irritation at the dirty, cheating b@stard James Collins, he has been awarded 3 bonus points by Fantasy Premier league (the most available) for his underhand, dishonest defending. He should have given away two penalties, he should have been sent off – instead he walked away with the man [...]
The second game of the afternoon: As I type this Sunderland are pushing for an equaliser, being 1-0 down with nearly 70 minutes gone. Roy Keane will be aggrieved if its stays this way – Sunderland should have had two penalties in the first half, both denied by Mike Dean. The first was the manhandling [...]
Thanks to Sky there was a double header this afternoon. First up: Spurs won this 1-0, thanks to a Roman Pavyluchenko goal set up by the excellent Aaron Lennon, a clear MOM. The home side dominated throughout but were never safe with a one goal margin – Blackburn always seemed to be in it despite [...]
For the first time for nearly a century all of the current big 4 – Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd, and Arsenal – failed to score on the same weekend. Arsenal were the only side to lose, 3-0 to Man City, to further compound their misery and disarray. This is the most testing period Arsene Wenger [...]
Torres starts for Liverpool, while Lucas comes into the side for Xabi Alonso, while Fulham remain unchanged from the side that defeated Tottenham. Jermain Defoe and Lassana Diarra are both injured for Portsmouth, replaced by John Utaka and Richard Hughes. Hull are unchanged from the 2-2 draw with Man City. Lampard does indeed make it [...]
Steven Gerrard, contrary to our expectations, has not recovered and will play no part against Fulham tomorrow. Frank Lampard, on the other hand, is expected to be fit for Chelsea. Fat is a great healer. Fabio Capello is quoted as saying of his first year in charge of England “I think it is impossible to [...]
Yet another packed weekend of football – the games are coming thick and fast. Again, every team plays over the next three days with Wigan v Everton rounding off the games, on Monday night (live on Setanta Sports 1). To appease the traditionalists, there are a raft of Saturday 3 o’clock kick offs (6 to [...]
The Official Fantasy Football League – http://fantasy.premierleague.com – a cut above the rest. There is no particular reason why you should listen to me, as my team is currently labouring in 269,928th place (out of 1.7m) suffering from an obsessive refusal to accommodate the points machine Ronaldo. Further examination of the Ronaldo fantasy football phenomenon [...]
