With the World Cup now over (as far as I’m concerned) the attention turns back to Leeds United and the latest rumours gathering pace. With the transfer window opening in less than 48 hours, Leeds United fans may soon get an idea as to whether we’ll be spending anything this summer or whether Simon Grayson’s promise of âmore signings,’ simply means âmore free transfers.’We start with an .. more …
One outstanding point of our embarrassing World Cup exit is the Frank Lampard goal that never was. A goal that landed a good couple of feet behind the line, was apparently missed by a linesman and referee who have brought further embarrassment to FIFA on the global stage.Whilst the goal may not have changed the outcome of a dismal game for England, the matter shouldn’t be ignored and put to .. more …
So, another World Cup ends with dreams of âwhat could have been’ as England fail once more. This time however, it hasn’t ended quite as it should have.Usually in World Cup’s we go out to the ill-fated penalty shoot-out, or the controversial decision that should have won us the game. And this World Cup looked like it was gearing up to end in the usual way for England.At 2-0 down, it looked all .. more …

I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that I’m delighted to see football back on the BBC. For far too long, the BBC has squandered the licensing fee on antiques programmes, “celebrity” dancing and other such nonsense, whilst sports coverage deteriorated and was capitalised by Sky.Maybe Jonathan Ross’ departure has freed up some much needed funds to invest into the national game, or maybe someone .. more …
I’ve been toying with the idea of adding a forum for a while now and have finally decided to add them to the site. One of the main reasons for this was to keep the site active when there’s nothing .. more …
The 2010 World Cup is starting to look a little like a World War IIre-enactmentwith the French bailing out early, the Yanks firing in late, whilst England are left to deal with the Germans! And then of course, there’s the Italians who were total non-starters and leave the Jules Rimet trophy in Africa as they head for the airport.A 1-0 win over Slovenia was all it took to send England into a second .. more …
I’ve laid off the World Cup updates for the last couple of days because, quite frankly, words fail me.After another dismal performance from the England team, we were left with one game to decide how early our flight home will be. A game against Slovenia no less. A team we’d usually beat as routine, but after a storming qualification campaign where England finished as top goal-scorers in Europe, .. more …

An average display against the Yanks, followed up by a dismal display against Algeria sums up England’s World Cup so far. The Three Lions cowered under the pressure last night, and a nervous, below-par England never looked like beating a poor Algerian side.The tongue-in-cheek headline of the New York Post following our draw with the USA instantly sprung to mind as the Algerian’s celebrated like .. more …
