2-0 in the San Siro, 0-0 in the JJB: Boro next

06:18 PM, Friday, 14 March 2008

Arsenal fell flat on their tummies last Sunday, flat as flat can be. OK, it was one of the worst pitches that they've played on in centuries, and it was impossible for their Gunners to play their slick passing game, but we knew about this already. Chris Kirkland ...

Bizarro team of the season so far

11:55 AM, Tuesday, 04 March 2008

Considering the fact that the PFA tend to ballot their members in November over who should get player of the season, I don’t feel too much guilt the idea of giving out a preliminary bizarro team of the season. The bizarro concept comes originally from Superman, becam... Posted by jjodf · Comments (0) Topics: Premier League,Liverpool,Fulham,Wigan,Newcastle,carr,leacock,premier league,seinfeld

Don't Panic

02:29 PM, Friday, 04 January 2008

While I was away in Barcelona, I only got to see bits of the City and Wigan matches. Given Cities home form, I don't think that a no score draw was that surprising or that bad a result. They've already had good home results at home against top four clubs. But the Wigan result was...

Arsenal vs Wigan Preview: Diarra and Denilson?

01:38 AM, Saturday, 24 November 2007

The big news for the Arsenal ahead of this weekend's game against Wigan is the absence of six first teamers from the Arsenal squad - Alexander Hleb, Mathieu Flamini, Abou Diaby and Robin Van Persie are injured, Gilberto is fatigued from his exertions in South America, and Cesc Fabregas is...

English Transfer Madness: Nugent / Utaka / Bellamy / Koumas

04:05 PM, Wednesday, 11 July 2007

Well... not madness per se, but again a great example of how British players just seem to cost so much more than they need to. Dave Nugent has signed for Portsmouth for a fee of  just over £6 million. He joins from Preston North End, where he has played well enough to earn an...

Against all odds, Wigan survive

06:19 PM, Sunday, 13 May 2007

Heading into the final week of the season, what appeared to be the most unlikely scenario turned into reality for Sheffield United as a 2-1 defeat at home to Wigan - coupled with West Ham's win at Manchester United saw them return to the Championship after just one season in the top...

Premier League fearing West Ham survival?

09:38 PM, Saturday, 05 May 2007

 West Ham notched another win earlier this afternoon with a 3-1 victory over Bolton to haul themselves out of the relegation zone for the first time in five months, leaving Wigan needing to beat Sheffield United to have any chance of surviving. The Hammers recent form has been... Posted by Danny · Comments (2) Topics: Premier League,West Ham,Wigan,premiership,Relegation

.The weekend that was - Feb 24th/25th

05:50 PM, Monday, 26 February 2007

* It may well have been the last Carling Cup final in Cardiff, but what a final it was. Billed as 'boys against men', it was the young Gunners who went ahead through Theo Walcott, but only for a Didier Drogab brace to take the trophy back to Stamford Bridge. It was a game that saw some wonderful...
