We’ve sourced a gif of Emmanuel Adebayor’s horrific attempted-stamp-that-actually-turned-out-to-be-more-of-a-rake on ex-teammate Robin Van Persie. And also a gif of his celebration which drove the Arsenal fans into a primitive frenzy. Click here to see them both – we await news of his ban but expect three or four matches…
What would we do without the Guardian? To save reviewing all the transfers of all the clubs, and where they’ve been left short – or bloated – we’ll just repeat everything that David Pleat allegedly wrote in the Guardian Sport Blog. We’ve even stolen the picture. It’s good though…
Well that was disappointing. And we had to suffer that twat on Sky Sports News who sits there with 10 mobile phones pretending people are calling him and he knows what’s going on. Here are the confirmed moves on a muted transfer deadline day…
We’ve already half stuck our neck out and predicted Arsenal will be there or thereabouts this season. After their opening day performance – and indeed that of their rivals – its tempting to go balls out on them. Of course it’s far too early to draw conclusions, but 6/1 won’t be around much longer…
Here is the second part of our Premier League Preview (leaving you all of 24 hours to read it) along with our predicted final table… Part one is below. Read it now before the season starts and all our forecasts are immediately proved wrong.
With only days to go until the start of the Premier League, we take a whirlwind look through the division (no-one likes long, lengthy previews) – count yourself lucky if your side gets more than a couple of lines… We also have our final table prediction, which will no doubt come back to haunt us. Read on for Part One…
Man City are continuing their relentless pursuit of John Terry, with crazy figures like £300k being mooted in the press, in addition to a possible £30m transfer fee.
Is he worth it? Purely as a player, arguably not. He is 28, increasingly injury prone, and there are whisperings of increasing vulnerability. But by signing Terry, Man City get so much more than just a footballer.
In the wake of Manchester City’s UEFA Cup elimination at the hands of Hamburg (City won 2-1 but went out 4-3 on aggregate), guest writer Gareth Freeman looks at the chances of their Brazilian ‘star’ Robinho (now without a goal in 16 matches) staying at Eastlands…
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 four in our series: Shay Given and Jussi Jaaskelainen.
After the breakdown of Kaka’s proposed £100m transfer (or £175m if you read the Sun) (If you do read the Sun you’re not welcome here) and Robinho’s reported walk-out, we felt compelled to comment on the Man City merry-go-round.
