Becks fights the good fight [Yahoo! Eurosport: March 11, 2010, 10:54 am] As expected, the circus surrounding David Beckham's return to Old Trafford with Milan became little more than a sideshow, as United stormed to a 4-0 win on the night and 7-2 on aggregate. At least, that's what happened in footballing terms. ... Roll up! The circus is in town! [Yahoo! Eurosport: March 10, 2010, 11:02 am] Even as it watched from its dank, sordid little grief-hole yesterday, Early Doors couldn't but feel a little sorry for David Beckham. The Milan, England and sometime LA Galaxy midfielder looked lost at sea as footage of his arrival at Manchester Paul Calf Airport came through.Watching him flanked by police as he slowly made his way through the fevered scrum that greeted him was a little window into the circus that constantly surrounds him. ... Roll up.. roll up... [Yahoo! Eurosport: March 10, 2010, 11:02 am] Even as it was watching from its dank, sordid little grief-hole yesterday, Early Doors couldn't but feel a little sorry for David Beckham. The Milan, England and sometime LA Galaxy midfielder looked lost at sea as footage of his arrival at Manchester Paul Calf Airport came through.Watching him flanked by police as he slowly make his way through the fevered scrum that greeted him was a little window into the circus that constantly surrounds him. ... Liverpool winning the race for seventh [Yahoo! Eurosport: March 9, 2010, 10:51 am] Despite going down 1-0 at Wigan last night, Liverpool still have their noses in front in the race for that much-coveted final Europa League spot. They obviously like it in that tournament. Despite playing just two matches in the nascent competition, their goal average of four goals scored for every one conceded means it's evidently their kind of place. ... Band on the run [Yahoo! Eurosport: March 8, 2010, 10:55 am] Well, would you look at that - it's another blog led by John Terry's antics. Early Doors would love to focus on something else, such as Paul Scholes's 100th league goal, perhaps. ... Play-off veto a rare piece of sense [Yahoo! Eurosport: March 5, 2010, 11:04 am] The Premier League's decision to rule out the idea of a Champions League play-off is a rare piece of good sense from football's authorities. The concept is a better one than the ludicrous '39th game' idea, but then that's a bit like giving the Best Picture Oscar to Beverly Hills Chihuahua instead of The Hottie and the Nottie. ... All questions, no answers [Yahoo! Eurosport: March 4, 2010, 11:01 am] England looked every inch the eighth-best team in the world last night as they came from behind to beat Egypt 3-1 at Wembley. The win was the 500th for England in their history, but it came thanks to one well-crafted goal, a poor piece of goalkeeping and a strike that was clearly offside.The crowd booed the team off at half-time and the players complained about the poor state of the pitch afterwards. ... What about the result? [Yahoo! Eurosport: March 3, 2010, 10:59 am] There has been plenty of talk surrounding England's friendly with Egypt tonight at Wembley, the national team's first match since November, but little about the match itself. As is the way with international friendlies in England, the pre-match view is decidedly inward, focusing on whatever trifling matters are the talk of this little island, rather than checking out whichever ragtag bunch of Johnny Foreigners happens to be arriving. ... Blunt knifes out for Terry [Yahoo! Eurosport: March 2, 2010, 11:01 am] It's hard to believe that just five short weeks ago the news of John Terry's alleged affair with Vanessa Perroncel was still to break. Since then England have lost a captain, a left-back and any hopes that this time there would be no media frenzy to act as a ready-made excuse for underachievement at a major tournament.England fans will get their first chance to voice their displeasure at their erstwhile skipper tomorrow when England take on Egypt at Wembley. ... Blunt knives out for Terry [Yahoo! Eurosport: March 2, 2010, 11:01 am] It's hard to believe that just five short weeks ago the news of John Terry's alleged affair with Vanessa Perroncel was still to break. Since then England have lost a captain, a left-back and any hopes that this time there would be no media frenzy to act as a ready-made excuse for underachievement at a major tournament.England fans will get their first chance to voice their displeasure at their erstwhile skipper tomorrow when England take on Egypt at Wembley. ... Eurosport-Yahoo! podcast 01/03 [Yahoo! Eurosport: March 1, 2010, 4:44 pm] Alex Chick, Jonathan Symcox and Tony Mabert discuss a good weekend for Wayne Bridge and a bad one for Aaron Ramsey. Stop press! Striker scores with head! [Yahoo! Eurosport: March 1, 2010, 10:59 am] Yet again, Wayne Rooney scoring with his head has sent people into frenzy after the striker came off the bench to win in the Carling Cup final for Manchester United against Aston Villa. Eight of Rooney's last nine goals have been aerial ones. Admittedly that's noteworthy, but hardly headline-making. Yet, once again, he's described as 'head boy' on at least one of today's tabloid headlines. ... Imagine a world without Portsmouth [Yahoo! Eurosport: February 26, 2010, 10:55 am] Just in case you hadn't noticed, Portsmouth have been in a bit of financial bother of late. Pompey are set to confirm today that they are going into administration, the first Premier League club to do so. ... Mourinho's mental magic [Yahoo! Eurosport: February 25, 2010, 11:02 am] Say what you like about Jose Mourinho, but he certainly knows how to make a statement. The Portuguese manager did not celebrate either of his side's goals as All of Italy should cheer for Inter [Yahoo! Eurosport: February 24, 2010, 10:52 am] Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has denied quotes attributed to him saying that every neutral in Italy will want Chelsea to beat Internazionale in their Champions League clash in Milan this evening. That may well be a correct assertion, but Italian football fans should really be hoping the Nerazzurri can beat the Blues and reach the last eight, for the good of their national game. ... Same old Mourinho [Yahoo! Eurosport: February 23, 2010, 10:59 am] Great to see Jose Mourinho is at it again. That is, getting under everyone's skin, annoying the hell out of people and making headlines across the continent. Indeed, it seems he has never really stopped being Mourinho since leaving Chelsea in 2007. Certainly it is not the first time he has had an altercation with the authorities in Italy, where he is increasingly being viewed as a serial trouble-maker. Which he is, kind of. ... The worst game ever? [Yahoo! Eurosport: February 22, 2010, 11:00 am] With the much-coveted fourth place up for grabs, the meeting of Champions League hopefuls Manchester City and Liverpool on Sunday promised much. How everyone unfortunate to have been at Eastlands or in front of the telly at home were let down in Liverpool find their level [Yahoo! Eurosport: February 19, 2010, 10:52 am] Not so long ago, Liverpool were competing at the very highest level, proving they were still a force to be reckoned with in European football by making it to two Champions League finals in three years between 2005 and 2007. Not so any more. Last night's The Fabianski back-pass fiasco [Yahoo! Eurosport: February 18, 2010, 10:56 am] When recounting Arsenal's injury predicament ahead of last night's match against Porto, Early Doors made a glib remark that while the Gunners were missing Arshavin, Song, Gallas and Eduardo, the good news was that so was goalkeeper Manuel Almunia, in a cheap bid for sneery LOLs and ROFLs. Well, who's ROFLing now? Porto, that's who.Arsenal reserve keeper Lukasz Fabianski put in a calamitous performance that greatly helped the Portuguese side to Rooney rises above Beckham hype [Yahoo! Eurosport: February 17, 2010, 11:03 am] Early Doors was all set up to do a 'Beckham-watch' style bit this morning after watching Milan host Manchester United. You know the sort of thing: "5' - Gracefully swung in another sumptuous corner which one of his lesser team-mates fails to meet with a header; 13' - Sent tumbling by that brute Patrice Evra. Perfectly symmetrical cheekbones reflect the San Siro floodlights as he heroically hauls himself back to his feet." That sort of thing. ... |
