Football in General Reviews

With the news coming this month about transfer fees being scrapped, and a new format being introduced and this could be the start of the games downfall. Fifa are planning to introduce auctions on players. Say for example if Owen wanted to leave Liverpool, an auction will take place between clubs who want his signature. I think this will be bad for ...

Well we are finally there back with the big boys and eager to stay there. It has been said that Ipswich will spend three seasons in the premier league- autumn winter and spring. Watch out we defy all the laws of chance in football and we could surprise a few teams. george Burley has made a few good signings and we have a massive fan base for a ...

I knew that we would get thrashed in this game - though I didn't forsee that we would give them a helping hand - or should I say helping punch. Sander has been looking a bit dodgy all season and in this game the roof fell in. Instead of catching a cross he tried to punch it and punched it into his own net. Now this really is his ...

Sorry I know that not many people want to hear this but I love Wimbledon. I am upset by the fact we are now in Division one. But happy that we seem to be on a winning streak. Even though half of our players were sold off at the end of last season. I hope they do well and get back up to the premiership. I hear you all yelling well of ...

Theres no doubt that the sales of Simon Davies and Matthew Etherington to Tottenham Hotspur brought in much needed revenue at Peterborough United as they re-couped over £1 million but did the money over-rule the decision to be made by Barry Fry? What I mean is, for a club like Peterborough, £1 million is a hell of a lot of money and could keep the ...

As the end of the season approaches, the customary nominations for player of the season awards are unveiled. He is my little effort for the best premiership side based solely on form this season. Manager – Alex Ferguson (Manchester United) – The most successful manager in the history of the English game. Record speaks for ...

arsenal are a simply great team. the defense is wonderful with two oldies, Tony Adams and Martin Keown in the centre and grimandi and luzhny on the outside. the midfield of parlour, viera, silvinho and bergkamp is supreme. and wenger has a host of stars to choose for up front, kanu, henry, wiltord and bergkamp. seaman is ...

The FA have decided, in their infinite wisdom, to introduce this Ten Yard Rule into the league after an experiment last season in the Autoglass Windscreen Shield. In theory it sounds wonderful: if a player shows dissent after a free kick is awarded, the free kick is moved ten yards closer to the centre of the goal. There are two major ...

Football, on every TV worldwide. The worlds biggest sport, and not only watched but played as well. It has a place in everyones heart and although no one has a good reason, people will carry on playing and watching for many centuries to come. People will pay big money to see their heros play. In the UK, there are millions of people every saturday ...

Manchester United will again run away with the Premiership title. Sure, teams like Arsenal, Leeds, Liverpool and Chelsea, have some great players and can all beat anyone on their day, but Manchester United are just too good. Chelsea are excellent when it comes to the big games, and I fully expect them to take points in games against any top ...

Well here we are now well into the season. Which players have performed best so far dooyoo think? Here's my choices based on performances so far... Goalkeeper - PAUL ROBINSON, Leeds Utd. Good shot stopper - needs to come off his line a bit more, then he will be England's No.1 keeper. Right back - LEE DIXON, Arsenal. ...

I have been a supporter of a team in Northern Ireland for approximately three years and I am surprised at how little support teams receive. Although not up to the standards of Premier League football the matches are still entertaining and much cheaper, though most teams only receive attendances of 500 or less. Due to the limited resources many ...

i think fifa should not scrap the transfer market, as it would kill of the british game. How woould teams like West Ham survive, nevermind the lesser teams in the lower divisions like Crew Alexander, who survive by selling their best players. Lower league teams, would go bankrupt, and there would only be the top ten clubs able to compete, even ...

As the years and seasons continue to pass I feel it was and is inevitable that as football becomes more and more rich and popular via Tv deals and sponsorship this once wonderful game will have to suffer. Players become more greedy and the managers have to pay to stand a chance of keeping the best. Second divition clubs will be able to ...

France 1 - England 1 Stade de France - Paris This was a very reassuring game for England and if the lions are not back yet, at least I'd say some players had some for lunch - chocolate bars?! Cole especially, he missed so many opportunities but hey he had plenty!!! Henry and Anelka were prolific as well in actions during ...

Ok I have just finished watching the France vs England match and I feel that I need to express a few things. For a start Kevin Keegan has done a wonderfull job as manager and has picked an excellent squad. I was impressed by only two of our players today namely Andy Cole and Kieron Dyer. Andy Cole had a difficult job from the ...

After the disasterous Euro 2000 and the long list of injuries (typical) English international football is at its lowest point for over a decade. Now, is perhaps not the best time to be taking on the first ever simultaneous World and European champions in their own back yard, is it? On a positive note, a good performance, ...

Steve McManaman showed that English players can be a hit over on the Continent, and people are saying it will raise the standard of the National team if more follow his lead, but I don't agree. Look at the National teams of Germany, and Spain, who have argguably the best leauges in the World. The core of their National teams play in their ...

Written off by the pundits, before the season has started, Ipswich Town will be the shock team of the season. You may knock this as a true supporter and life followers opinion of his favourite club, but... This is a side that is playing football as good as the greatest team of the late 70's, early 80's. It will be recognised soon ...
