The boy looks a bit good: Diniyar Bilyaletdinov
Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, or Диниəр Ринат улы Билалетдинев to his mates, has just signed for Premier League whipping boys Everton. I might just be getting overly excited by the accompanbying Kasabian soundtrack, but from the look of this video, the boy's a bit special: Diniyar Bilyaletdinov of Everton- Watch [...]
Liverpool 1 – 3 Aston Villa
Round my way, the most common topic of conversation is how last season really could have been the one that got away for Liverpool. Judging on last night's shocker, we'll have a lot to talk about at lunch tomorrow. Liverpool came close to breaking the deadlock when both Gerrard and young FernandoTorres had chances cleared off the line in the first [...]
Premier League weekend
Wigan 0 - 5 Manchester United After a goalless first half at the DW Stadium, and just as it was beginning to look as though Manchester United might be a really bad bet to retain their title, the partnership between Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov finally sprang to life. Rooney headed his 100th Man United goal on 56 minutes from a Valencia [...]
When Steve Bull scored 100 goals in two seasons
When you're 16, you don't have such a clear perspective on what's normal and what's truly remarkable, hence in 1989, way back when I was that tender age, I naturally thought that players bagged 50 goals a year every now and then and that it was nothing special for a bloke in the third tier of English footy to play for the national team.

More midweek action from the Premier League
Well bugger me sideways with a fish (it's as good as being buggered sideways by anything else, I imagine), Burnley only bloody well went and did it. Elsewhere, Liverpool can once again be rergarded as Prem League favourites, while this promises to be a long, long season for Portsmouth and Hull. Burnley 1 - 0 Manchester United Michael [...]
Midweek Premier League matches
Sunderland 1 - 3 Chelsea Chelsea came from behind as Michael Ballack, Frank Lampard and Deco (!) scored. Big Darren Bent claimed his second in as many games to put Sunderland one-up, but Carlo Ancelotti’s side proved their title credentials in the second half, first Michael Ballack swept the ball home from a corner, Frank Lampard then put the [...]
Burnley 0 – 2 Manchester United (1902)
Some things never bloody change, well I shouldn't tempt fate as Burnley could pull off a shock tomorrow night. Man Utd, playing in their first season after changing their name from Newton Heath, overcome local rivals Burnley on December 6th, 1902, in front of a crowd of somewhere between 2,000 and 4,000, depending on which source of info you [...]
Premier League opening weekend
We can learn a lot from the opening weekend: Throw enough money at a Man City-shaped problem and things might well turn out OK; Hull have guts but will that be enough to retain 17th spot; this chap Martinez might be a bit special and this chap O'Neill might not; Stoke will win a lot of games at home; it' going to be a long, long season for the new [...]
