Andrew Walker writes: John Terry must be the cornerstone of England’s World Cup 2010 challenge. In light of recent scandals, it cannot be as captain…
I was going to write another bit about Rooney’s dive this weekend, but I bore myself with the diving dogma so no doubt any regular readers we do have are bored also. And then I saw Patrick Barclay had written a piece, and I like him, so I’ve reprinted that instead. And then I saw he’s also commented on the penalty issue (goalkeepers advancing off their lines) which was going to be my other piece – so I’ve just reprinted that too. This site is rapidly turning into reprint central – but at least the quality of writing is going up…
Harsh words indeed. But after his actions this weekend, his previous comments and previous actions, there is no other conclusion to be made. Read on to find out why…
I think these are our most covered topics. We’ve discussed it many times, and provided material for Patrick Barclay. If you’ve read those articles you’ll know our position already. There were two incidents this weekend that fulled the debate – one in the United/Chelsea game, and one in the Liverpool/Birmingham game. Here is our take on them…
Roughly a quarter of the way into the new season and the Big Four have experiences vastly contrasting fortunes. We have a look at them…

There have been more goals than ever before in the Premier League. And despite the relative glut this weekend, many less draws. Plus, more players than usual are getting on the scoresheet. We look at these anomalies and the possible reasons why…
It’s patently obvious Man Utd are not the side they were. No-one can lose Tevez and Ronaldo and be as effective – especially if you replace them with Valencia (3 goals and 3 assists last season) and Owen (perennially injured, super-sub). We maintain they will struggle this season – a slip out of the top four has even been mooted. Their performance against Sunderland is one of the worst from them in living memory. So – are United a club in crisis?
Time is tight this busy Monday but having a ‘weekend preview’ as the top story is just irritating. So instead we’ve used Football 365’s ever excellent ‘winners and losers’ feature. Cheers…
