Home grown moans [Yahoo! Eurosport: September 2, 2010, 11:10 am] A day after Premier League clubs had the transfer window closed on them, they had to meet yet another deadline yesterday by naming their 25-man playing squads. ... Home-grown moans [Yahoo! Eurosport: September 2, 2010, 11:10 am] Yesterday, a day after Premier League clubs had the transfer window closed on them, they had to meet yet another deadline by naming their 25-man playing squads. ... Transfer dreadline day [Yahoo! Eurosport: September 1, 2010, 11:03 am] So, transfer deadline day fever is over for another year. Sky Sports News' blue riband event, their poor man's version of a general election or the X Factor final has passed and the big, bright clock will be solemnly ticking down to 00:00 February 1 2011 off-screen for the next four months. ... Deal or no deal? [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 31, 2010, 10:52 am] 10hrs 22mins and counting... Transfer deadline day: the day of the year football journalists up and down the country dread. Frantic last-minute activity as desperate players and clubs - and even more desperate agents - try to wangle late deals before that hypothetical window is slammed shut is not conducive to a quiet day at work for some. The bigger the names involved, the bigger the speculation and the greater the stress incurred. ... Don't jump to judge Jack [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 30, 2010, 11:02 am] A week can be a long time in football. Before the latest round of Premier League matches, no one had any sympathy for Joey Barton, Wigan were in danger of conceding double figures every week and Jack Wilshere was a fresh-faced man-child on whose shoulders many were pinning the hopes for the future of the England team. ... Now or never for Spurs [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 27, 2010, 11:02 am] Sometimes, football can be such a cruel game. Has Spurs not overcome their embarrassing wobble in Switzerland last week then we would all now be looking ahead to the dream fixture that is Inter-Young Boys. That would never have got old. But, as it is, it will be Spurs the unlikely underdogs [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 26, 2010, 10:53 am] Early Doors is a cynical old boot, and it has never understood the supposed imperative to support English teams in Europe, but it has to admit it is rather pleased at Tottenham's qualification for the Champions League proper. It is eight years since an English side reached the Champions League group stage that wasn't one of the 'Big Four' - that was Newcastle in 2002/03. And it is 48 years since Spurs were in what used to be known as the European Cup. ... It's The Sun Wot Lost It [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 25, 2010, 10:45 am] Early Doors thought about just copying and pasting The Sun's splenetic back page lead in full today, so bizarre and entertaining is it. Basically, the story revolves around the selection of the England Under-21 squad to play Portugal in a European Championship qualifier next Friday. It's an important game, so thank goodness Jack Wilshere and Andy Carroll are in there, right? Wrong. ... Statement of intent [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 24, 2010, 10:58 am] So that's what £350 million does for a football team, then. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan witnessed firsthand for the first time what his invested millions have bought him - and he cannot have failed to be impressed. No wonder why he has a big smile on his face. Let's all get excited [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 23, 2010, 11:01 am] A weekend goal splurge in the Premier League has got the juices flowing alright. The opening round's impressive tally of 26 goals was eclipsed by an incredible 35 over the past couple of days - and there is still one game still to go. ... Cole woe a concern for Liverpool [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 20, 2010, 11:02 am] Jamie Carragher claims Joe Cole is a 'God' in Liverpool, but if so the man upstairs must have two left feet, as the new Anfield number 10 has had a shocking start to life at his new club. Cole was sent off on Sunday for a truly silly scissors challenge on Arsenal's Laurent Koscielny. Then last night he saw a poor penalty kick saved against Trabzonspor. It was the first he had taken in a competitive match since he was 13. ... The Golden Generation [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 19, 2010, 11:11 am] Familiarity breeds contempt. In the ongoing, somewhat ravaged environs of professional football, familiarity breeds only content. Drowning under the usual dosage of sweltering transfer stories yesterday afternoon, one was quick to pick up on the news from Germany that Sami Hyppia had been forced to discount a return to Liverpool because of Bayern Leverkusen's desire to retain him. ... Plastic not so fantastic [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 18, 2010, 11:15 am] As far as debuts go, there have been better. Tottenham took their bow in the Champions League last night amid much hope and expectation against opposition as 'lowly' as Young Boys. ... Bellars: Flawed genius? Or footballing misfit? [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 17, 2010, 10:35 am] What does Craig Bellamy bring to a club? Or more to the point, what has he brought to your club? A sprinkling of gold dust, or a whole heap of trouble? These are the questions which started swirling through Early Door's fairly gnarled mind this morning as reports gathered pace suggesting Bellamy, possibly the last great maverick of the modern Premier League era, was poised to shuffle down a division to Cardiff City in the Championship. ... Bellars: Flawed genius? Or football misfit? [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 17, 2010, 10:35 am] What does Craig Bellamy bring to a club? Or more to the point, what has he brought to your club? A sprinkling of gold dust, or a whole heap of trouble? These are the questions which started swirling through Early Doors's fairly gnarled mind this morning as reports gathered pace suggesting Bellamy, possibly the last great maverick of the modern Premier League era, was poised to shuffle down a division to Cardiff City in the Championship. ... Cheer up Ian Holloway [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 16, 2010, 11:09 am] In their first top-flight game for 34 years, relegation favourites Blackpool defied to odds to claim a remarkable 4-0 win at Wigan to go top of the table. For a couple of hours. It was a day of joy for the club unparalleled since the glory days of the 1950s. ... The best league in the world. Really. [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 13, 2010, 11:03 am] 'THE BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD!' It is impossible to hear those words without imagining them spewing from the face of a Richard Keys, a Jim White or some other satellite TV mouthpiece. Such is the ludicrous hyperbole with which Sky have infused English football that the sentence quickly transformed from an opinion to a statement of indisputable fact, then to just an alternative name for the Premier League. ... Capello right to ditch Beckham [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 12, 2010, 11:03 am] Fabio Capello managed to steal his own show last night by ending David Beckham's England career in a pre-recorded interview broadcast before kick-off. Today's papers are full of it. How dare he treat Becks so disrespectfully, booting him into retirement without telling him in advance? It's disgusting, and shows just how little he knows about the English game. And so on... But hang on a minute. ... Engalnd bore-fest promises unmissable drama [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 11, 2010, 11:04 am] ED has an appointment at the dentist later this afternoon. The idea of making the appointment for today was simple: surely nothing could be a more powerful analgesic than the prospect of sitting through an evening of meaningless international friendlies. ... England bore-fest promises unmissable drama [Yahoo! Eurosport: August 11, 2010, 11:04 am] ED has an appointment at the dentist later this afternoon. The idea of making the appointment for today was simple: surely nothing could be a more powerful analgesic than the prospect of sitting through an evening of meaningless international friendlies. ... |
