ROMFORD’S ACCEPTABLE REJECTS
What a start to the new season. Romford Rejects did the town proud last Tuesday (12/05/2015) with a comprehensive 13-11 victory over Hawtrey at the PlayFootball Romford Ground in Romford. But in a frantic match (how else could it be featuring relatively slim able-bodied people in their 20s and 30s chasing a football on a … Continue reading
What next for David Moyes?
When a manager gets sacked or resigns from, and I’ll try to be as respectable as possible here – your ‘Stokes’, your ‘Fulhams’, your ‘Cardiffs’, your ‘Sunderlands’ your ‘QPRs’, your ‘Crystal Palaces’ (you get the picture) – it is all part of the managerial merry-go-round. One boss is ousted or leaves and ends up at … Continue reading
Nothing like a good moaning to start the day: Wenger excuses do not mask title failure
After a blip that saw not only Arsenal’s title challenge come to an end, but also left them out of the Champions League places – culminating in that horrific 3-0 defeat to their nearest challengers Everton – The Gunners’ hopes of a 17th consecutive campaign in Europe’s elite competition have been fulfilled having won their … Continue reading
Moyes would probably have done as good a job as Martinez at Everton this season
After David Moyes’ sacking by Manchester United last week, anyone who knew nothing about football would think he achieved diddly-squat at Everton, having read much of the press. And that the Merseyside club’s current position is all down to his successor, Roberto Martinez. It doesn’t seem to matter that most of the squad are … Continue reading
How much praise does Yaya Toure want?
Toure is widely recognised as one of the best players in the world So Yaya Toure thinks he is not rated because he’s African. What a load of tosh. Obviously, being pinpointed as Manchester City’s main source of danger before every game, and being lauded nearly every day, either on television or in newspapers, particularly … Continue reading
What is it with West Brom and strikers?
West Bromwich Albion don’t seem to have much luck with strikers do they? In January last year Peter Odemwingie wanted to leave the then Europa League hopefuls (‘Europa League hopefuls’ – now, there’s a phrase that is not often used) for bottom-of-the-table and eventual relegation casualties Queens Park Rangers somuch that he drove down to London and … Continue reading
Five transfers that could and/or should happen in the next week
Adam le Fondre to Crystal Palace – One can win the league with just 1-0 wins, but despite Palace’s resurgence under Tony Pulis they have still struggled to score goals with only 18 so far this campaign. It’s a shame that the Championship’s top scorer last season Glenn Murray has been out of action since … Continue reading
Why Alex Ferguson left Manchester United at the right time
A lot has been said about how Alex Ferguson left behind a stagnating team – not least the subtle dig that he got out because he knew the side wouldn’t be up to it this season. But if it is true that he thought his last Manchester United side were on the way out, he … Continue reading
Man United should learn lessons from Ravel Morrison failure
It’s been another wasted weekend for Wilfried Zaha. When Manchester United spent a fee that will rise to £15million for his services last January most of us didn’t expect him to be a regular starter. But surely we envisioned him having more game time to his name than the paltry 167 minutes out of a … Continue reading
