Lucas has seen enough!
So we’re a few games into the season, and because making snap judgments is always the safest, most solid way to look at a situation, I’m going to take a look at who’s surprised us the most, and who has, well, been led by a bald Dutchman into the middle of the […]

Lucas thinks that England’s problems go far beyond whatever fool happens to be in charge.

After watching England at the Euro U-21 Championships, it’s occurred to me after a long while that England are going to have a pretty tough time on the international stage once the “Golden Generation” as it were, gets older. There […]

Lucas thinks time is running out for Tottenham and England.
I’d like to cover two things here. Firstly, something troubling to me as a Tottenham fan, and secondly, the fact that Sam Allardyce should probably be managing England rather than Newcastle.
At Tottenham we have a shedload of talent, which is great. But if we don’t […]

Lucas is upset at having his footballing innocence whittled away to… a very whittled thing.
As I’m writing this I’m eating a big plate of chocolate chip pancakes. Taking an already unhealthy breakfast food and adding chocolate is a uniquely American thing - like the Big Mac, or segregation. Another trait strong in Americans […]

Lucas comes to a Liverpool’s hero’s defense, and takes time out to attack everyone else.
Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher is retiring from international football, and that is just a goddam disaster. Carragher isn’t one of the best players on the team- he doesn’t necessarily deserve a starting spot, and in fairness, when Chelsea’s John Terry […]

Lucas takes a look at the clubs salivating at the mouth after watching Henry wave au revoir to the Emirates.

Arsenal were already closer to fifth than they were to Manchester United or Chelsea the last two years and now they’ve lost Thierry Henry, everyone has that filthy, filthy television lucre, and the transfer season has […]

Lucas takes a quick look at what Spurs have been doing on their holidays.
With the transfer window opening up again, I’m going to look at who Spurs should be bringing in, and who, as before, should just f**k right off. Unlike Liverpool, Tottenham are one of those clubs who have about 9 months of rumours […]

Lucas looks back on a season where Tottenham amazingly won just as many trophies as they did last year.
Aspirations of reaching the Champions League via the Premiership and winning the UEFA Cup faded away, but for Tottenham Hotspur, a second consecutive top-five finish has to be considered a good thing. Consolidating their position as […]

Lucas looks at what positives the Premiership can take from American sport, in addition to taking American dollars.
One of the biggest problems facing the Premier League, obviously, is the ever-widening financial gap between the “big clubs” and the “small clubs.” With no structure to stop the free-spending of a team like Chelsea, a team […]

New boy Lucas wonders what the point of the Premiership will be when all of the Big Four are backed by foreign billions.
David Dein, one of the crucial figures behind Arsenal’s rise over the last decade, has resigned, reportedly over an issue of the team’s sale. I will say that I really, really hope, for […]
