Cesc Fabregas in 'spit spat'

Wednesday, 18 March 09, 10:41 AM

Did he or didn't he?

Well the news has reached far and wide, appearing online in places such as Xinhua and the Sofia Echo. Our view comes from Goal.com though, where young Cesc 'categorically' denies spitting at Hull's assistant manager Brian Horton after the Arse went through to the FA Cup semis following a dodgy, possibly probably definitely offside winner from William Gallas. (Quick before YouTube remove it)

Smug Jose may have a point – are Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal shit?

Monday, 09 March 09, 04:40 PM

He may be years gone from English football, but the charismatic Jose Mourinho is never far from the headlines, and has sensationally labelled former club Chelsea ‘an embarrassment’ as Manchester United pirouette unopposed to the title, in what’s turning out to be a bit of a damp squib of a title race.

Mourinho was speaking ahead of his Inter side’s Champions League visit to Old Trafford, where the Italian champions will hope to capitalise on a 0-0 draw in The San Siro to progress to the quarter finals. Adamant that United are not as good as people make out, the self-styled Portuguese hero says that despite their seven-point lead in the league, that he “would not allow a team of [his] to be so far behind. It is embarrassing in early March.”

“Yes Manchester United a...

C'mon Gallas, tell us who gets on your tits!

Friday, 21 November 08, 06:04 PM

OK, so Little William Gallas isn't a happy bunny. But mate, fetch the toys back into the pram and retrieve your dummy from wherever it was spat to. Man the fuck up and deal with it.

So there's one player at Arsenal who is causing disruption. Dressing room rifts. Responsible for the other players not 'fighting' as hard as they could (not Martin 'Apeman' Keown then). But don't just fanny around, point the finger, expose the bastard.

And not content with that, a certain 'S' on the French national team isn't pulling...

Tony Adams you big beaky eagle beaky thing!

Monday, 17 November 08, 01:05 AM

Continuing in our 100% individual, never been done before (ahem) - yet still uproariously funny football look-a-likes section, has anyone ever noted how much Tony Adams looks like (aka could be the brother of) this beaky fucker who I'm reliably informed is named 'Sam the Eagle' from the Muppets.

Oh - you have? Fair enough...

Arsene Wenger - sit down and shut the fuck up!

Tuesday, 04 November 08, 05:49 PM

Well it's taken him 3 days, and just when I thought there was no chance of him making an excuse for being beaten by the plucky Potters...BOOM...there it is. Stoke players are 'cowards' for tackling.  Not 'I didn't se ve incident', not 'It was ve fault of ve wefewee', but 'Please don't tackle my players, they don't like it up 'em'. Well they probably do, but not on the pitch.

Sound familiar? See every away game at Bolton for the last few years for details. Wenger's overpaid, cossetted, wrapped-in-cotton-wool collection foreign pansies and schoolchildren can't hack it when a...

Tottenham fan goes bloody mental on Sky - Arsenal supporters look away

Thursday, 30 October 08, 06:25 PM

You'll bloody love this! Especially the footage for Tottenhams 4th goal... Forward to about 2 minutes 25 seconds through this for the money shot, and realise why Sky's Fan Zone is pretty fucking good..
