Lookalikes are ten-a-penny – anyone can make Dirk Kuyt look like Sloth from the Goonies, or Peter Reid look like a monkey. It takes more to put two people together stylistically and functionally; players who remind you of one another, players with similar styles – players that could be clones of one another. Number three in our series: Dimitar Berbatov and Eric Cantona.
Tonight sees Aston Villa take on Hull in the last of the Christmas games. There are no more Premiership games until the 10th January because of the FA Cup First round.
Undeniably, we focus on the Premiership. It’s what people want to watch and read about, and its what we want to watch and write about. But for once, let’s look at the other divisions – and the next best thing is the Championship…
All results across all the divisions can be found here.
As discussed in our main story, there are two games in three days over Christmas, three days that could have a big bearing on some team’s season – and some peoples’ jobs. Here is how we think Fantasy Managers can profit from the festive fun…
There is one round of games on Boxing Day, followed by another on the 28/29th/30th December – then not another until January 10th. Which means two games in three days, then none for nearly two weeks.

John Terry’s sending off was the highlight of this scoreless draw at Goodison Park – although it was an absorbing game, with chances at either end. Everton may be slightly the more disappointed, having a goal disallowed (probably justly) and shading the number of chances. Petr Cech was certainly the busier goalkeeper. Neither side will [...]
Our sources tell us that Carlos Tevez is close to sealing a £23.5m move to Bayern Munich. United do not hold his registration and he is still on loan – and after being forced to play second fiddle to the misfiring Berbatov, can you blame him for not wanting to make his move permanent? He [...]
Throughout football writing, journalism and commentary, you hear the occasional, but recurring, adjective/phrase that seems ‘out of place’. Words that have no place in the vocabulary of your average football fan. Yet, they only ever seem to crop up in reference to football.
