The game against Tottenham on Wednesday evening was not a good game to watch for Newcastle fans, and that's a huge understatement. But there is good news today that it looks like Mike Ashley has found a buyer for the club, and Joe Kinnear will come in as interim manager for 6 games, so there's [...] Click to continue reading...

A thoroughly depressing evening. Roy Hodgson set the tone with an uninspiring choice of starting line-up, and the Fulham players on the pitch followed up with an utterly lifeless performance. To say this game was dull would be an understatement – writing only a couple of hours after having left the stadium, the ‘events' of [. Click to continue reading...

To say that United have started the season sluggishly would be something of an understatement with just four points in the bag from three games. Our performances thus far have been way short of the benchmark set by the Champions. In sharp contrast rivals Chelsea have started like a train, winning all but one of their four games which sees them sitting top of the table. Click to continue reading...

To say that Andriy Shevchenko's stock has fallen over the past couple of seasons would be a huge understatement. The Ukrainian striker, who was rumoured to have been signed by Roman Abramovich rather than Jose Mourinho, has struggled to make an impact in a Chelsea shirt since arriving from Milan ...

Horrible field (and you thought Home Depot Center was bad), horrible half.

It would be an understatement to say scoring chances were few and far between - they were virtually non-existent.

The best scoring chance came just before half time, Jesse Marsch blasting a shot from about 20 yards that required the hands of a diving Matt Reis to push around the post.

To call DC's performance tonight a disappointment is major understatement. From my personal perspective as I discussed on the 2Gs show with Graham and Peter on April 10th I have a certain expectation from DC in these sorts of competitions and no expectations from other teams in MLS. (in the case of that match we [. Click to continue reading...

Ever since England were knocked out of Euro 2008 I've been racking my brains for something to do while Town are on their summer break...

This weekend I think I found a replacement, the Moto GP.

I've been watching it for a while now, every Sunday I pop on BBC 2 and wait for Suzi Perry to take me through the race track. Click to continue reading...

To say Liverpool co-owner George Gillett Jr. aren't interested in their home country's soccer league could be an understatement. Gillett and his EPL side Liverpool are hoping to be the MLS's opposition in next summer's All-Star game in Toronto. Most of you know my feelings on the MLS's All-Star event but another EPL side to play [. Click to continue reading...
