Arsenal fans, like me and my colleague Rayed, this season have experienced a series of emotions. From the highs of smashing Fenerbache, Sheffield United, Blackburn and Porto, to the lows of playing poorly against weaker teams such as Fulham, Hull and now Stoke.
This is an emotional rollercoaster that does not do justice to the Arsenal fan, who got so close last season. It simply doesn\'t...
The World Cup draw in Durban is only 400 days away now! I thought it\'d be a good opportunity to think about which teams names will be in those little balls to be drawn out for the groups for 2010. Here are my predictions and why I think each team should be there:
(the UEFA section will be done later, it is the longest and hardest one)
AFC - Australia, Japan, Korea Republic, Saudi Arabia
&...
Mourinho\'s declaration that he will head back to England when his contract is up at Inter raised a couple of eyebrows yesterday. Is he sick of Italy already? Or does he simply love England more than Italy? Whatever the case, the fact is that he has made his intentions known publicly. For one, the Board of Directors at Inter Milan will not be too pleased with what he said yesterday, given that...
The first song written by the supergroup Traveling Wilburys showcases the wonderful and unbelievable talents of 5 awesome musicians. The song and group\'s conception is the stuff of legend. In 1988, George Harrison had lunch with Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne (from Electric Light Orchestra) to discuss helping him write and compose a song to be added to the B-side of his next single \"This Is...
Upon listening to this song for the first time, you will most likely be thinking that the singer is simply singing a tribute to his brother, Daniel. This is, however, not completely true. It\'s because of this perception that the writer of the song, Bernie Taupin, who has been Elton John\'s lyricist for more than 40 years, has said that \"Daniel\" is possibly the most misinterpreted song he has...
Premier League football was back this weekend and despite the international break, it was a case of deja vu for pretty much all the teams. Hull City continued its wonderful start to the season both home and away to notch up another win against West Ham while Manchester United and Chelsea imposed their dominance in ruthless fashion with thrashings against West Bromwich and Middlesbrough...
We\'ve just finished another international week. The players are all ready to ready to return for their clubs, well, almost everyone. Rafa Benitez has expressed frustration at an injury sustained to Fernando Torres whilst he was playing for Spain this week.
He has suggested there be a two-tiered qualification system to avoid so many international dates and potential injuries. I think he is...
What another great couple of days of international football played all over the globe. If there\'s anything that shows the universality of football (apart from the World Cup itself), it\'s the fact that qualifiers are played on all continents at pretty much the same time.
Not to mention the passion shown by both players and fans alike when the national team is on show. These last couple of...
We are about to head into an international week, a series of World Cup qualifiers from all over the World. Football lovers such as myself live for these types of tournaments, they are bigger than all the big leagues in Europe, because they generate interest from even the most indifferent of football supporters. I however, fear for the next few major world tournaments. FIFA and UEFA have clearly...
Another international week means another interesting couple of days of international football. World Cup qualifiers dominate once again on every single continent where the race of the 32 spots is just beginning to heat up. We might not yet be at the business end of the qualifying tournament, however every point counts given a long qualifying campaign.
Starting off in the Africa, this weekend...
