Sometimes a footballer returns to his former club and gets a rapturous round of applause, take Peter Crouch at Anfield on Wednesday night.

The Blues are unbeaten at Stamford Bridge in 84 games, and it’s looking as though number 85 is just around the corner. In order to stand a chance of beating Chelsea, surely you need a match winner or two in the team, something that Liverpool are struggling with ahead of Sunday’s match.

The final score between Atletico Madrid and Liverpool was 1-1, but that doesn’t tell the whole story at all.

Sir Alex Ferguson was in the news at the start of the season, hinting that Chelsea’s squad were a bit long in the tooth to go winning Premier League titles, despite […]

Liverpool and Manchester United strikers ‘had no desire to play for badge’ claims Spurs chairman

by stresster on September 3rd, 2008 | 337 words | 16 comments

Tottenham end the summer considerably richer from a financial point-of-view, yet poorer in the sense that no trace of last season’s prolific strike-pairing exists at White Hart Lane.

Sevilla head honcho blasts Tottenham’s hypocritical chairman: He does have a point

by stresster on September 3rd, 2008 | 360 words | 8 comments

With Dimitar Berbatov disappearing into the horizon arm-in-arm with an experienced Scottish manager, the Tottenham chairman has had a thing or two to get off his chest.

The bookmakers aren’t expecting the Reds to win any silverware next season, despite the big-money acquisition of Robbie Keane, and with Gareth Barry likely (but not certain!) to follow.

‘We can cope without star strikers’ claims Tottenham new signing

by stresster on July 30th, 2008 | 246 words | 7 comments

There’s nothing like positive thinking ahead of the new season. Last season’s player of the year might have scooted off to Liverpool, while his strike partner has his agent working overtime to get him a move away from White Hart Lane. However, there are plenty of reasons to be cheerful according to Spurs’ 22-year-old midfield […]
