Football in General Reviews

Will he ever play football again? That is the question running through arsenal supporter's minds after the horrific injury to striker Eduardo da Silva just 2 minutes into their game against Birmingham on Saturday, in which he suffered a compound fracture to his fibula and an open dislocation of his ankle. The horror tackle by Birmingham ...

Football in Cyprus is the most loved sport there is. It is a popular game for the Cypriots. I have friends with children that live in Cyprus and they all go to football training clubs. Even girls' teams are set up with some football clubs in Paphos. FOOTBALL CLUBS There is one football club in particular, ...

It is with regret to announce that Steve McClaren has resigned as coach of England. This will be the headline when Russia beat Israel to reach Euro finals. On a personal note I won't be sorry for this to happen because this man is not suited to the job and what England needs is Jose to mould the team for the world cup. On domestic scene ...

A pet hate of mine is watching "macho" footballers get "seriously injured" and pushed to the floor by a small gust of wind. This is a little rant and my solution to combat these silly amateur dramatics. Diving (or simulation) - where a player feigns injury/ tackle to gain an advantage, generally a free kick or ...

Football season is with us again shortly. Football is in such demand that it is difficult to know when the season ends and when it begins. One famous ex Arsenal striker gave an interview on TV other day one of the things which he said was that for seven weeks in the summer he used to sit in the bar and it took 4 weeks for him to get in ...

This season promises to be one of the most exciting seasons in a long time, despite the lack of activity in the transfer market, there have been a few decent signings who will be keen to make an impact this season. Chelsea have brought in Shevshenko, a player I rate very highly. Although I feel they have been stung with the price they had to pay ...

The football season is upon us once more, I’m not talking about the big money soulless experience that is the Premiership, those poor lambs haven’t started yet. The real action is a division lower in the Coca Cola Championship. Having experienced my club being in both divisions I can honestly say that the only draw of being in the top ...

I have to admit until about two weeks ago i was one of these girls that hated football. When the world cup started i felt i will give it a chance and support my team down the pub with everyone else. I had a go in the sweep stake and pulled out Ghana so i thought if i want a chance of winning i better have another go then pulled out Brazil. All my ...

I apologise if I am touching on a subject that has already been expressed but I need to get the issue of sportsmanships in football off my chest. Watching the World Cup has opened my eyes to the extent of the problem, which is making a mockery of the sport. Diving has been a part of the game for too long now, with players simulating to ...

Football, Football, Football. the beautiful game its been described as for years. the feeling we get from executing the perfect volley, the sublime freekick etc cannot be replicated however i disagree, the old game (pre 60's)was a gentlemans game with sportsmanship etc but todays game, influenced by the italian game, is one of ...

Sorry but got to let rip - I DETESTE any thing football related as does my partner. Recently after arsenal lost their game, (hahahahahahahaha) whilst traveling home trough Central London there were hordes of grown men actually crying because their team lost - how very very very sad. Not only did we have to put up with ...

Origins ****** It used to be thought that football began in the middle ages in North of England by drunken men kicking a pigs bladder around the streets of Burnley. But a similar game was played earlier in the middle east by men who kicked around the head of a goat. However, as we all know, like most things it was probably invented in ...

Ok now I know all of the guys are going to look at this review and think oh my god a girl is writing about football and I also know that you are going to look at my rating of just two stars and think I am going to start nagging about how it takes my boyfriend away from me most of the time. I know that we girls are stereotyped for hating football ...

On boxing day, how many red cards in the premiership were given? too many! they were pretty much all for stupid things. To list them: Danny Murphy for throwing the Ball away - 2 yellows Laurent robert for stepping across a player - 2 yellows Lee Bowyer for a reckless challenge - straight red Muzzy Izzet for falling ...

I can't believe not only was I in on a Friday night but had to sit through an hour of blokes pulling balls out of huge brandy glasses while John Motson gave commentary that was about two minutes behind what was going on. Anyway in my opinion the draw does seem to have been fairly kind to England as we are drawn against a holiday resort, ...

Sunday Morning Football. You can't beat it in my opinion, A rag tag bunch of blokes in all shapes and sizes kicking a ball around a football pitch, I love it. I have been playing Sunday Morning Mens football since I was 15 years old, some 20 years ago and I have seen it all, Players who are so drunk from the night before that ...

A Christmas poem more or less about football in general Just thought I'd submit a little something me and my younger brother came up with, I hope you'll enjoy it, especially if you are football savvy. It's more fun to express how we feel about premiership football in this way, so a rhyming review, for ...

Football is Britain’s favourite sport, but not mine anymore - well not to watch anyway. I love kicking a football around when I get the chance and I even chose the game for my chosen sport in my P.E. GCSEs. What really annoys me though is watching the game on tele. The only football matches I might pull myself to watch are ...

=== Intoduction === The start of the 2004/05 Barclay Card Premiership season is drawing tantalisingly close. Proceedings get under way on the 14th August. My team, Tottenham Hotspur, are in action against Liverpool. This game can be seen on Premiership Plus, with kick-off at 12.45. There has been a frenzy of transfer action already this ...

The first twenty minuets of this game David Beckham was like a man possessed. He was soon yellow carded but it had no effect he was still charging in with the tackles. He was very lucky to still be on the pitch at half time. The rest of the first half was very poor. There was good running off the ball but most of the passes went astray. ...
