Why Selling RVP Was Calamitous For Arsenal

Giles Picciotto — Tue, 14 May 2013 17:35:07 +0000

Last summer, on the fateful day that Arsenal sold Robin Van Persie, I told those around me Arsenal had just made a 70 million pound mistake. My friends , though they may prefer to call themselves an unfortunate audience who had to listen to my boring ramblings, pointed out that Arsenal had actually just made [...]

Agueeeeeeeroooo… Twelve months ago, we had the mother of all finishes – Mrs Finish? – in injury time at The Etihad. It was a moment of sporting ecstasy and agony that has been relived across the lower leagues in the past few weeks. First, on the final day of the season at Griffin Park, football gave us [...]

Sometimes football just makes you smile. Wednesday night at the Westfalenstadion was one of those fulfilling occasions. The exciting, energetic and skilful Dortmund destroyed Mourinho’s men from Madrid. The fan owned club that has risen from the brink of bankruptcy in 2005, is on the verge of a Champions League final eight years later. From near [...]

Sport meet politics. Politics meet sport. Oh you two know each other already. Then let’s get cracking. The death of the first and only female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, has brought old divisions to the fore across society. And football is no different this week. The national game was very much alien to Downing Street [...]

Being Sepp Blatter For A Day

Robert Ursell — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:32:07 +0000

The amount of time and discussion it’s taken to arrive at the imminent introduction of goal line technology is in keeping with the way people think about football. Many are afraid of any changes to the game. Especially ones seen as drastic. I’ve written many times about the game evolving and that is true of [...]

It is often referred to as ‘the impossible job’. We don’t need scientific proof to know that managing the England football team is an extremely difficult task. However, the latest charismatic Englishman to be given the reigns, is threatening to erase the painful memories of Sshteve McLaren. Roy Hodgson is not without his strengths. England [...]

“He’s Not That Type Of Player”

Vojin Soskic — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 21:21:33 +0000

Once again we have heard those six famous words. He’s not that type of player. Or words to that extent by those rushing to absolve Callum McManaman of full responsibility and consequence for his horrendous tackle on Newcastle’s Massadio Haidara. The continuous use of the phrase that diminishes responsibility in professionals – yes professional players, not novices – is astounding. Too [...]
