Where Did It All Go Wrong For Micah Richards?

by Paul Bestall on June 14, 2009 · 0 comments

Jose Mourinho fell out with Roman Abrahamovic over him, Martin Jol tried twice to sign him for Tottenham and Barcelona were even watching him but those admiring glances and failed bids seem a long way off now. When he first burst in to the Premier League back in 2006, I was blown away by the [...]

Key Relegation Battles This Weekend

by Christopher Walker on May 5, 2009 · 1 comment

 I have spent this morning  perusing the remaining fixtures for the relegation threatened teams and it appears that everything seems to point to the round of matches starting Saturday 9th May to Monday 11th May.

Obviously they were unaware [...]

Crouch has been the victim of some vicious criticism over the last few seasons, undeservedly so [...]

The Relegation Rumble: Portsmouth

by tyduffy on March 26, 2009 · 1 comment

Until late October, Portsmouth seemed destined for a mid-table season. After a rough August start against Chelsea and Man United, the trophy-winning club won four out of seven matches, looking frisky once again. Then Harry Redknapp left for the Tottenham and the seam exploded. Tony Adams had no perceivable managerial skill. Financial problems forced the [...]

Middlesbrough Are In Freefall

by Paul Bestall on March 24, 2009 · 8 comments

Why can everyone else see Middlesbrough’s problems but Steve Gibson? Whilst his support for Southgate is edifying, it worries me that the Chairman seems so detached from the situation Boro are in by continuing to back Southgate over the evidence of results, performances and the fans. Yet by backing Southgate, Steve Gibson is in danger [...]
