The problem is, that means the next game for England. On a different matter, one of the interesting things about yesterday’s little piece about the Lord Wenger leaving the club was the way the commentaries on the piece could be analysed. Including not just the comments that went up on the site, but also those…
The return of Keane from a championship chasing club to a relegation flirting club just six months after he went the other way for more money, is proof if it were needed of the financial disaster facing Liverpool Weetabix. Liverpool were, let us not forget, held up as a model of how football could move…
In a radical move Arsenal FC has announced that it is to offer a number of its supporters for sale in the January transfer window. “It is important to be able to rotate the fans as well as the team,” said the Head of Things, at the Emirates Stadium. “Some of these supporters have been…

A senior officer at the Met apologised to local residents and said that his officers were taken by surprise. “Two sets of celebrations took place at once, and we really hadn’t expected it,” said DCI Yard, of…
So now we can guess why Portsmouth failed to push the case against the Tiny Totts over the behaviour of the Tott supporters who used racist abuse against Sol Campbell.
