COS Big Up – August 19, 2008

The COS Big Up brings you a daily batch of our favourite stories. Avast ye mateys!

Studs Up today riffs on why Dimitar Berbatov is like a tampon and why the transfer window as a whole is as painful as a spoon in the eye. (Studs Up)

In a glorious piece of investigative journalism The Spoiler takes a look at the new Manchester City kit and asks if they are getting fatter. (The Spoiler)

The Offside meanwhile brings us a video clip that will bring a tear to Paul Robinson’s eye, it is of a fellow goalkeeper making a complete pig’s ear of a backpass. Nice. (The Offside)

And finally…New(ish) Gooner site Gingers For Limpar takes a long hard look at Juande Ramos and his lofty claims that Tottenham can be compared to Manchester United. In a Spoiler-esque piece of forensic journalism, Gingers for Limpar has actually gone and found some statistics which pretty much close the case on Ramos’ claims. (Gingers For Limpar)
