Dean Windass Brings New Meaning to the Word Supersub

3
Rory Delap's long throws for Stoke have been causing headaches for Premier League opposition all season. Just ask Arsenal. The Offside has already proposed five ideas to combat the Delapidator (or whatever they're calling him these days) which were completely unworkable, if we're being honest. But that didn't discourage Hull's 39 year old tattooed striker Dean [. Click to continue reading...

United destroy Stoke

3
Sir Alex Ferguson went into the game without three of his main men. Wayne Rooney, battling a chest infection, the injured Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville did not feature in the squad, meaning starts for Jonny Evans and John O'Shea at the back, and Carlos Tevez up front.

The Gamest Lad

4

The best thing about football violence is the drug / alcohol-induced numbness that makes literally anything that moves a target. Few human experiences can top that feeling when you finish a bottle of Buckfast, do a couple of rails of blow, and then hurl yourself head-first through a pub window just to punch a kid who's wearing an opposing team's shirt.

Prospects and Parity Ahead for 2010 Champions League

0
As intriguing as the current edition of the Champions League may be, there's a chance the 2009-2010 tournament could be one of the strangest, parity-rich events in football history. Seems someone has taken the snowglobe that is European football, given it a good shake and the flakes aren't landing where people expect. Click to continue reading...

10 Things We Learned in the Premier League

1. The Big Four are Back No, not that big four. The other one. The top four Premier League teams are now Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal. No more Hull City, and Aston Villa missed their opportunity to join the party. You have to worry about Arsenal a little, but looks like this could be [...] Click to continue reading...

10 Things We Learned in the Premier League

1. Liverpool are king of the comebacks. They did it in the 2005 Champions League final, they did it in the 2006 FA Cup final, and now they're doing it in the Premier League. Two goals down at Man City yesterday and Liverpool came back to win 3-2. They also came from a goal down to [...] Click to continue reading...

Photo of the Day: Sugar Ray a Stoke Fan?!?

Boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard showed up at Stoke today seriously?
The man supposedly gave the team a peptalk before the match with Chelsea.
It was our Blues, though, that delivered the sweet 1-2, in the form of a Bosingwa-Anelka brace.

1. Billionaires always have good home security Which would explain why Salomon Kalou's equalizer on Sunday means Chelsea haven't lost at Stamford Bridge since February 2004. 2. But Roman Abramovich should definitely think about building an extension There were less than 42,000 at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea vs Man Utd. Click to continue reading...

Jamaican Me Crazy

In case you haven't heard, there's this guy called Usain Bolt who is quite a fast runner. The 22-year-old Jamaican won three gold medals at the recent Olympics and also smashed three world records in the process, so how does he plan to celebrate? Life-size gold statue of himself?

Premier League new boys - Staying up or going down?

0
At the beginning of the season people around the country were saying West Brom would survive back in the Premiership reasonably comfortably, and that Stoke and Hull would struggle and no doubt "do one" straight back into the Fizzy Pop League. After all, West Brom had brought in Scott Carson, an England International (not that that says a lot these days) and had the likes of Jonathon Greening, Ishmael Miller, Roman Bednar and Neil Clement in their ranks, people who had well and truly proven themselves in the Championship, and Stoke and Hull, having never had Premiership experience in their history would no doubt struggle to realise what had hit them against the likes of the big 4.

Sky’s ex-Arsenal legend makes the most obvious Premier League predictions of all time

There should be a rule that stops people naming teams as 'a dark horse' when it's clear as mud that they're a talented side that are expected to go well next season. While it might be a reflection that the Premier League has become increasingly easy to call, it's a shame that former pros that [...] Click to continue reading...

Are West Brom, Stoke and Hull going down next season?

That's the question that many people will be asking after the Tigers landed promotion on Saturday afternoon, thanks to an amazing strike from Dean Windass. The 39-year-old has been an influential figure for City this season, yet it's hard to imagine him or many of his team-mates cutting it in the Premier League. Click to continue reading...

Should Chelsea manager be surprised that his massive squad of world-class players are challenging for title?

After all, the Blues have quality all over the park. Chelsea's second string would probably finish sixth or seventh in the Premier League, so why have Avram Grant's expectations been exceeded by his team's strong finish to the season, which could mean a domestic-European double this season? Look at the players he has at his [. Click to continue reading...

They'll be dancing in the streets of Hanley and Newcastle-under-Lyme after Stoke City bagged themselves the second automatic promotion spot on Sunday. The Potters have done magnificently this season, coming from behind on several occasions to land wins or draws against Championship opponents and it's hard to argue that they don't deserve their place in [.
