England
10 men England lost 1-0 to Ukraine in Dnepropetrovsk after Robert Green won the dubious honour of being the first goal keeper to be sent off for England. Fortunately Fabio Capello’s side have already qualified for South Africa next year and the Italian will be reasonably pleased with the way the team battled with a man down. Rio Ferdinand on the other hand…
Emile Heskey played 72 minutes and James Milner came on for the second half in place
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty and, without wanting to get political, “suspicion of conspiracy to rob” sounds a bit like a thought crime to me, nevertheless, I’ll just leave this here…
I made a bit of a n00b error yesterday with a post referencing classic Greek mythology that unfortunately is synonymous these days with bad ju-ju happening to your computer.
Because of that it’s possible the URL is getting hijacked and re-directed to a site that shows this scary warning sign.
Hopefully it should go without saying that this website is entirely clean of such crap. The website showing you the warning most certainly is not!! I would strongly advise not
Gabby Agbonlahor’s recent run of form has been recognised by Fabio Capello and is included in the England squad to face Ukraine and Belarus.
James Milner and Emile Heskey are also in the squad, but there’s no place for Ashley Young.
Curtis Davies’ agent, Phil Sproson, has recently been running to the papers in order to push on his client’s contract negotiations. As I speculated, Martin O’Neill isn’t overly impressed with this being aired in public. Go on Martin, you tell him:-
I always thought that it was private information with a contract but if the agent of a player chooses to divulge them then that’s entirely up to them.
I don’t really want to bring this into the public domain,
It was another Europa League night without Aston Villa tonight. I know, I know, I should be over it by now.
I’ve just finished watching a fine, battling performance by Rapid Vienna at Celtic Park earning a 1-1 draw. Although Celtic certainly went at the visitors, especially in the second half, in fairness it was a defensive error from Rapid that allowed the hosts to get back on level terms.
This Rapid Vienna side comfortably beat current top of Bundesliga
Blackburn Rovers vs Peterborough United
Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton
Chelsea vs Bolton Wanderers
Arsenal vs Liverpool
Manchester City vs Scunthorpe United
Barnsley vs Manchester United
Sunderland vs Aston Villa
Portsmouth vs Stoke City
Games will be played week commencing October 26th 2009 – Sunderland vs Villa will be Tuesday 27th.
Sunderland away is definitely winnable, but it’s Cup football and anything can happen. Arsenal vs Liverpool and Spurs vs Everton are obviously the games of the round and also mean that two tough opponents will definitely be knocked
Yeah, lame headline I know. I wouldn’t normally do a post for this sort of thing, but there was a detail in the OS WEBFLASH caught my attention.
The point of the story is that Marc has just been rewarded with a new three year contract and considering his new squad number for this season it’s fair to conclude that he’s rightly held in high regard. He and Nathan Delfouneso have both impressed Martin O’Neill and can be considered
Not the greatest surprise in the world, but the news is just breaking that Marlon Harewood will be joining Newcastle on loan and is expected to travel with his new team mates to Ipswich at the weekend.
A move like this was always on the cards and it’s frankly quite surprising that it’s taken this long. Marlon has effectively dropped down the pecking order to be fifth choice striker at Villa, but that’s never stopped him giving 110%. Anyone
