Which is a bit of a turnaround because it used to be 'Roy Keane to launch for Patrick Vieira'. And vice versa. But a lot of today's newspapers have the same story that Keano is desperate to bring his old nemesis to the Stadium of Light to boss Sunderland's midfield. The Frenchman is currently in Jose [.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. That's the motto that you learn in school and perhaps it's something to which Roy Keane should adhere when he stands next to the dug-out at the Stadium of Light. After all, supporters pay good money to ... Click to continue reading...

The Los Angeles Galaxy just flat-lined. Coded. Went into cardiac arrest.

You don't need to watch Grey's Anatomy or ER, or be a doctor, to know the medical terms for what happened to the Galaxy's playoff hopes last night. An embarrassing 3-1 loss to Chicago all but squashed LA's faint playoff hopes less than a week after a promising win against D.

Ryan Giggs harbours managerial ambitions after Manchester United playing days

Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs has suggested he may retire at the end of this season and follow in the footsteps of Mark Hughes, Steve Bruce and Roy Keane by becoming Sir Alex Ferguson's next managerial protege. Click to continue reading...

Sunderland manager Roy Keane has revealed that he has a zero tolerance policy towards verbal abuse. The Black Cats boss announced his policy following comments from the Sunderland crowd during the Carling Cup tie against Northampton last night. He said: "One or two supporters were abusing me and that is something I won't tolerate. Click to continue reading...

UEFA is about to ruin the perfectly formed European Championships by increasing the number of competitors from 16 to 24.  Great, more football.   But 16 teams means that the whole thing is small and perfectly formed, no dead games, just great fun.  Ah well.  $$$$. Roy Keane on the X Factor phenomenon:  alright, not the X [. Click to continue reading...

We had barely digested Saturday's match before it was time for another epic performance. This time Sheffield United were to be ridiculed by Arsenal's youngest team ever in the Carling Cup. The average age was merely 18 years and 6 months and the oldest player on Arsenal's side was Lukas Fabianski at the age of 23. Click to continue reading...

Discussing deliberate fouls on fellow professionals has become a bit taboo since Roy Keane's admission about his pre-meditated knee-high tackle on Alf-Inge Haaland, but Bolton's Kevin Nolan has broken the silence to say that he urged team-mate Jlloyd Samuel to foul Theo Walcott during their match against Arsenal on Saturday.

Michael Chopra's two goals in the final ten minutes are enough to see off Middlesbrough 2-0 at the Stadium of Light.A game that was more frantic than metered, this was a game that took a long time for anything to build. Yes both sides had plenty of chances (per Soccernet, 21 for Sunderland, 18 for [. Click to continue reading...

Most teams have a theme song they blast out in the dressing room before they take the field in a bid to get the blood pumping. Former England defender Stuart Pierce used to subject his fellow Nottingham Forest colleagues to "Anarchy in the UK" by the Sex Pistols at ear-splitting volume before they took to the field of play.

The English Premiership returns this weekend after an exciting week of World Cup qualifiers.

The top two matches on the card this weekend are two games in the North West of England.
The EPL's two richest clubs Manchester City and Chelsea meet at the "Middle Eastlands" and a draw looks like a good bet, with Brazilian Robinho making his debut for City and the home players keen to impress the new owners after the recent Sheikh-up in the boardroom. Click to continue reading...

Well after that post I need to post something a little more positive so lets look back at some moments of inspiration from Roy Keane.

In another adventure of the saga called As the Stomach Turns, Jack Warner blasted back at Roy Keane with comments that you can read in this article. You know its funny, I've been to Ireland many times and I never realized that it was such a large country. Jack Warner truly is a clown and an example of all that is wrong in this game.

Roy Keane talking about Jack Warner: "He's a clown." Oh yeah! I have had my problems with Keane but this is priceless. See video in the Jack Warner/Sepp Blatter/FIFA Idiocy & Scandal News section.

Oy. Roy Keane gets tetchy, very tetchy.

A lot of this has to do with Jack Warner's unsavoury reputation.

Let the insults fly as Concacaf primo (and total crook) Jack Warner has been in a dispute with Sunderland manager (and total thug) Roy Keane over Keane's late withdrawl of T&T forward (and total perv) Dwight Yorke. First blood went to Warner. "Your continuing insensitivity and disrespect for countries such as the twin island Republic [. Click to continue reading...

Thank you, Mr Keane, for expressing how many football fans feel about Warner in a direct, succinct manner. Back story: Warner sends a letter to Keane saying: "Your callous disregard for the rights of 'small' countries to have their players represent them as enshrined in Fifa regulations reveals a mean streak in your character.

Don't mess with Keano! I thought this whole story was pretty funny so I figured that I would include a link for it so that hopefully everyone gets a chance to see some of the nonsense that goes on with the World Cup qualifiers. Basically, Jack Warner the FIFA Vice-President and CONCACAF President who is from the Trinidad and Tobago complained because Sunderland (managed by Roy Keane) didn't release Dwight Yorke for the match against the United States on Wednesday.

The U.S. national team is back on home soil after posting a pair of road wins to kick off CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying. The Americans face Trinidad & Tobago tonight in a match-up of the top two teams in Group A (ESPN2/Galavision, 8pm).

The U.S. team has mustered a pair of 1-0 victories on the road, but will expect a more wide-open encounter from a Trinidad & Tobago side that has scored four goals in its first two matches (a win and a tie).

Roy Keane of all people shouldn't have done this. Keane whose spat with Mick McCarthy led to the Irish legend missing World Cup 2002 has now seemingly pulled a stunt of equal temerity. Bowing to pressure from Keane, Dwight Yorke, the captain of Trinidad and Tobago has withdrawn from the squad due to take on [. Click to continue reading...

Sunderland boss Roy Keane has backed Alan Curbishley's decision to quit Upton Park, despite signing the two players the former Charlton boss was most upset about losing.

Deadline-Day transfer rumours are rife that George McCartney is on the verge of a shock move back to Sunderland. The Wearsiders had a £4.5million bid for the West Ham defender rejected by the east Londoners and the player earlier in the summer. But Black Cats boss Roy Keane is desperate to sign a left-sided full-back and is [. Click to continue reading...

Seeing well-loved former United players return to Old Trafford with their new club is always a nice occasion. We sang for Roy Keane when he returned with Sunderland last season, we've sung for Teddy Sherringham when he's returned with West Ham, we chanted Alan Smith's name when he came back with Newcastle and the list [.

Before I get too deep in to this article, I want to make it clear at no point do I agree with or condone what Roy Keane did to Alfe-Inge Haaland. Whilst it's always good to see tough battles for the ball between our players and our opponents, particularly our hated rivals, there's no way [...] Click to continue reading...

Roy Keane will be reunited with former team mate Mark Hughes at the Stadium of Light. Whilst the managers have faced each other before, this will be the first time Roy does so with Hughes as City manager. Following Keano's "challenge" on Alf-Inge Haaland, he is set to be in for a rough reception. Whilst most [. Click to continue reading...

After a summer of spending, it's perfectly natural that the Black Cats would have to release the odd player or two. While Roy Keane has bemoaned the fact that a lot of his squad members would prefer to sit on the bench / play for the reserves than get first-team ... Click to continue reading...

The year 2008 will not be looked back upon with fond memories for anyone connected to Cobh Ramblers of Ireland's Premier Division. After a magnificent 2007, events off the pitch have been both comical and catastrophic for the team that produced Roy Keane. Click to continue reading...

There's two sides to every story and, while Roy Keane talks about his latest signing stepping up to the next level at Sunderland, those at West Ham claim that the defender's extortionate wage demands were to blame for the player leaving.

Whatever you want to say about Roy Keane, it would be wrong to describe him as a wallflower. The Irishman is possibly the most talkative manager in the Premier League these days, regularly adding his tuppence worth on the footballing issues of the day. He's also had plenty to say ...

By JAMES CLARKIt's not the fact that we're losing Anton Ferdinand (pictured) to Sunderland, per se. He was always a raw-but-talented defender. In many cases, his penchant for scoring goals seemed to outweigh his talents for stopping goals at the other end, at least in the Premier League. Remember, his best days with Hammers were when he partnered Elliot Ward and helped us win promotion in 2004-05. Click to continue reading...
