Short EPL round-up

2008-09-29T22:32:00+00:00

Tottenham lose (is that news?) 2-0 to Portsmouth, credit Jermain Defoe with a goal and essentially an assist on Peter Crouch's.

Manchester City lose 2-1 to Wigan. Anyone surprised that they appear to be super schizophrenic? Amr Zaki with another goal. That's tied for an EPL best with 4, I think.

Top 5 West Ham fire-sale players - Newcastle, Tottenham and Arsenal would be interested

2008-09-24T10:55:38+00:00

Personally, I am not convinced that West Ham will be handing over money to Sheffield United this side of 2020 with all the expected appeals, but this morning's newspapers are full of stories that the Hammers will be forced to sell their star players in January. Here is a rundown of the potential movers and [.

Ramos COMMITS Himself To Spurs

2008-09-22T16:48:35+00:00

Juande Ramos is appealing for time and patience to end Tottenham's early-season slump but knows results must change quickly before it becomes a full-blown crisis. After a dismal 0-0 draw with Wigan at White Hart Lane the Spaniard denied a report he is homesick and yearning to return to Seville - from where he was controversially [.

Anelka is not good enough

2008-09-22T12:52:28+00:00

I have never been a fan of Nicolas Anelka so I know I am totally biased against him. Actually, that isn't totally true, when he was a teenager at Arsenal I was as impressed with him as was everybody else. It is since he left Arsenal that he has been such a disappointment. Watching Chelsea play against Manchester United on Sunday, I couldn't help but feel that Anelka looked totally out of place.

Spurs Pick Up Point, Remain In Last Place

2008-09-21T16:57:10+00:00

Spurs picked up their second point of the season, but remain bottom of the Premier League. The Lilywhites did not do enough to warrant anything more from a disappointing stalemate at White Hart Lane. And the final whistle was greeted by boos from some sections of the ground. Once again, Tottenham looked toothless up front and the Wigan [.

Should Juande Ramos be worried?

2008-09-16T12:25:11+00:00

Not for the first time over the past few seasons, Tottenham have let their expectant fans down with a very poor start to the season. Sitting rock bottom of the Premier League with just one point from four games is a million miles away from where Tottenham fans and Ramos himself, would have expected them to be.

Titus Bramble: What’s the Worst That Could Happen?

Oh. Like the man says: "A finish any striker would be proud of". But if you're a defender burying it past your own keeper with a near post header, maybe not such a proud moment. Take a bow Titus Bramble, we've missed you. For those keeping track, this is first Brambleanigans since all the way back in [.

Southampton heads north to London to play QPR today. Saints have a single win with 3 loses in their first 4 games. It's not an encouraging start even for Saints fans who don't have high hopes for this season.

QPR have a few knocks and we should expect a few new faces since their last game, a 1-1 tie with high flying Bristol City.

The Quick Six

We have six games coming up in the space of seventeen days which I think can erase from memory our disappointing double defeat opening to the season.

It all kicks off with Villa on Monday night. This is a game we can certainly win. Villa are no mugs but they are beatable, especially away from Villa Park.

Girl of the week - Dylan Hardy

People Need To Learn Stadiums Have Cameras

For anyone who thinks briefly scanning the sections around you means privacy at a football stadium, it doesn't. There are cameras everywhere, and they're all watching you. Not the person next to you. Not the drunk guy with questionable figures painted onto his chest. You. All you. At least that's the thinking you should take [.

Premiership Prospectus 2008/9 -- Everton

2008-09-08T12:31:00+00:00

2007/8 Review

Everton enjoyed another very good season under the stewardship of David Moyes, flirting with Champions League qualification for much of the campaign before finishing fifth. This was despite Everton allowing opponents more attempts on goal than they themselves created. The Toffees were able to overcome this imbalance thanks to some very sharp finishing from their strikers, dead ball prowess, and excellent goalkeeping from American Tim Howard.
