Keano quits Cats

0
Roy Keane has done what he never did as a player and admitted defeat. Keane threatened it after the weekend's humilation by Bolton and on Thursday the Irishman decided enough was enough as he and Sunderland parted ways.

No Goal Feast for Spurs But is that a Good Thing?

1
Cup-holders Tottenham broke the spell of victorious Championship sides in the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup last night. And just as it seemed all the underdogs were winning, both Watford and Blackburn were knocked out. It was business as usual for Redknapp's side, and after an early scare, they came back with Pavlychenko's penalty and [. Click to continue reading...

Oh, What a Night!

0
Burnley fans might need a bit of time to recover from yet another Carling Cup shocker last night. A magnificent win over Arsenal puts them through to the semi-finals. Derby also stunned Stoke last night scoring a controversial late penalty, but didn't kill their Premiership opposition in quite the same style that Burnley beat Arsenal. Click to continue reading...

Five officials?

0
Have you ever seen a goal that shouldn't have been? Have you ever seen a penalty box foul not given? There seems to be a talking-point such as this in most games. But, no more, say the FA. Currently being trialled in Scotland the utilisation of two extra officials standing by the goals at either ends [. Click to continue reading...

The Gunners Gun Down The Blues

1
Arsene Wenger broke out into a big smile when asked if his team won ugly at the end. ‘Yes, a little bit' he responded and laughed. Ah, now we haven't seen that kind of contentment from Wenger for a while. After beating Chelsea he truly looked like a relieved man. And you can't blame him – Arsenal, [.

A Sorry-Looking Sunderland Smashed into Smithereens

0
Poor, poor Sunderland. A surprising amount of folks fancied them against Bolton, including footy pundit Mark Lawrenson. And then just look what happened. It was an embarrassing display that forced some sad Sunderland fans out the stadium five minutes after half-time. Sunderland's confidence lasted as long as 10 minutes, to get a goal and then give [.

The Battle of Manchester

0
Ahead of Man City's derby against United both teams have been talking in strong words. Fergie is back to his old self, after praising the ref mid-week, and he scoffed at the suggestion City are a threat to Man U (which seems a little forgetful considering Man City beat them both home and away [.

Bruce wants FA to see sense

0
Wigan boss Steve Bruce has called for changes in the disciplinary system after Emmerson Boyce was unjustly sent-off recently. Boyce was dismissed for two yellow cards in the draw at Newcastle.

Ferguson explained that Rooney apologised to him and the players for falling in the penalty box untouched by the chasing defender. Click to continue reading...

Steven Gerrard And Xabi Alonso - Clay Pidgeon Shooting

One of several new virals launched in the past few days by Adidas, we'll be adding a new video every couple of days. My question is this - is it real?
