Football managers are famous for storming into the dressing room after a defeat and ‘throwing the teacups around’. Alex Ferguson favours the hair dryer treatment, standing two inches from a player’s face and letting rip.
It makes Saturday’s win all the more sweet knowing it really got under Fergie’s skin to the extent he went into [...]

A big day of sport starting with Australia spanking India in the Cricket World Cup, I thought the Indians would put up a real fight with their batting lineup but the Aussie juggernaut rolls on.
Then came the main course Manchester United v Arsenal at Old Trafford in the F.A. Cup and the Gunners just controlled [...]

In the Premiership. Just come back from watching the Arsenal v Newcastle game, finished 1-1, Arsenal played well in the first half but looked fairly sluggish and didn’t hit their stride in the second half even though Newcastle had Laurent Robert sent-off.
Manchester United dropped a couple of points by drawing at home with Manchester City, [...]

Just come back from Bar Humbug where we watched the Liverpool v Arsenal game.

Look guys while you’re bashing away at the keyboard, thinking about where to take your potential date to make the right impression, forget the fancy restaurant or trendy bar, do what nature intended and follow your instincts to the football. Apparently after taking her to the match you’ll be whispering in her ear in the [...]

I watched the Arsenal v West Ham game this afternoon at the Half Moon pub in Winchmore Hill, a good crowd in there today.
Arsenal won 3-1 and it was pretty easy in the end although West Ham were very unlucky to have Steve Lomas sent-off after about 13 minutes for pulling back Pires in [...]

Football’s changing.Everton have two guys from China in their team and now US World Cup player Brian McBride is making an impact, three goals in his first two games for the club at the start of a loan period from the Columbus Crew.

Getting some exercise

Monday night for me is football night, the one time a week when I get a really good sweat going. I play with a bunch of guys at a sports centre near the town of Ware, about ten minutes from where I live. We play outside, under lights on their five a side pitches although [...]
