What a day this had been. I suppose it was only a matter of time before Manchester City, with so much money to spend, and so little time to spend it, came calling for Emmanuel Adebayor. Snubbed by the likes of Kaka and Eto’o, the Middle Eastlands club have turned their attention to the apparently […]

The determination of Michel Platini to bring about what he sees as a level playing field in European football is not new to anybody. We have become used to his decrees from high as UEFA attempts to force quotas of homegrown players in a bid to reduce the growing power and influence of the English […]

I am not alone in smiling at the irony of ‘gobgate’. Things have turned full circle. We live in strange times when northern nancies depart from another defeat on a warm spring evening bemoaning the vicious prawn bagel munchers in the crowd at the Grove for their part in intimidating the referee and the visitors.

Picture the scene. A crowd is gathered on the steps next to the Armoury, baying for ‘you know who’ to show himself at the window of club level. There is much commotion. Irena Arshavin, a fifty-something woman plainly dressed in a shawl and tugging at both ends of the scarf that covers her head comes […]

It’s hard to believe that a fortnight ago there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth because Arsene Wenger had failed to write out a couple of large cheques as the transfer window was slammed shut. Those who over-reacted the most were, I trust, witnessing events at the other end of Seven Sisters Road last […]

We got more money from Blackburn as our cut of the deal that took David Bentley to sh, you know where, than we paid for this lad. Still think Arsene doesn’t know what he’s doing with English talent?

Monday afternoon, and I get the call I’ve been waiting for. “Nasri will show tonight”. I feel the tingle of anticipation. I want to be among the first to see his initial appearance. It’s easy to get excited. There is a touch of Arab in Nasri that adds to some romantic notion of his pending […]

I’m indebted to my cousin, twice removed (and you have to be a really bad boy to get chucked out of the San Siro), for his update on what is being reported on AC Milan blogs. This from ACholic. ‘I’m a mad. Thatta Adabayor’s agent is a using us to getta his client a better […]

With Apologies To Spike Milligan I have never admitted this before, but I played a significant role in the enmity that has grown and festered between the two sides who will fight out an FA Cup fifth round tie at Old Trafford on Saturday. Brian McClair was an old mate, but friendship was cast to […]
