Tuesday night Champions League fantasy
Chelsea 4-4 Liverpool Where to begin? Well, there were moments when Liverpool, leading 2-0 and then 4-3, were a mere goal short of triumph in the second leg of this Champions League tie. Liverpool scored a crucial away goal after 19 minutes, the Reds winning a free-kick 30-yards out and a quick-thinking Fabio Aurelio exploiting a gaping hole [...]
Saturday in the Prem
Sunderland 1 - 2 Manchester United After dominating the early stages, elderly gent Paul Scholes nodded in a Wayne Rooney cross to put United on their way. However, once again dodgy defending harmed United’s title charge, Kenwyne Jones poking home after Ben Foster failed to claim a Tainio cross. For his latest trick, Manchester United's new [...]
Saturday in the Premier league
Not a bad afternoon, all said and done, particularly if you're from the red half of Liverpool. Fulham beat nine-man Man Utd as Paul Scholes and Wayne Rooney were red carded, while Luka Modric's goal was the difference between the sides as Tottenham moved up to ninth. Three quickfire second-half Arsenal goals left Newcastle mired in the bottom [...]

The tragic of the cup
Offically, and in direct contrast to Championship Manager, the Cup is crap: The makers of the Championship Manager game conducted a survey and learned that 63% of the 5,000 fans polled were in favour of weakened teams being selected for the FA Cup if their club decided that priorities lay elsewhere. These findings were no shock. I'm a CM [...]

Liverpool 2 - Sunderland 0 Another wonderful, free-flowing Liverpool performance, yet another three points. All that talk of them having thrown away the chance of winning [...]
Panini legends #1: Lady’s man?
.JPG "Panini legends #1: Lady’s man?")
Who never collected a Panini sticker album when they were a lad? Who, I ask you? Finishing one of the buggers was a different matter altogether, 1986 was the closest I ever got. Here we are then with the first in my series of challenges: name the player or manager in the pic from their embarassingly different yesteryear Panini image. First up we [...]
