Football in General Reviews

It's an all too familiar cry in football. The ball strikes the hand and the crowd scream at the referee then shout in derision when he ignores them. The debate is never about whether it was deliberate or not just simply the b****** in the black must be blind. I tire, though, of hearing television commentators reviewing endless replays ...

As the clique goes football really is a funny old game. If you think about the concept it really is more than a tad basic and can be played nearly anywhere yet people still go out and purchase season tickets for hundreds and sometimes thousands of pounds. So what is the attraction about twenty-two men trying to kick a ball into the back of the ...

I watch in dispair as first Rio was sold, then Harry Rednapp left under a cloud of suspicion (did he jump or was he pushed?) and now the sale of Frank Lampard! Is this a team that shows ambition, who aim to push on from a relatively poor season? To draw comparisions with the Man Utd, Chelsea, Spurs and even Fulham teams - they must ...

I think that Liverpool will clean up next season they have been growing in strength for the past two years and Mr houllier is doing a great job by the way im a palace fan so this is not a bias opinion treble cup winners last season and god knows what this season good luck to them obviously i think man u and arsenal will again be main rivals but it ...

I think next season Liverpool will win the title and add two the treble they did this season. As well as having a strong squad at the moment i'm sure houlier will strengthen his side and they will be fit for glory. The likes of michael owen and emile heskey alongside robbie fowler strike fear into the premierships best defenders. The Liverpool ...

Man United, Arsenal or Liverpool for the title. Since the last seven years one has seen a very steady improvement at Man United, which was pinnacled with them winning the Champions League last season. During this time most other teams had been struggling to maintain the high standards of Man. United. This was due mainly to ...

I have recently been thinking about my dream team using the players who are currently playing in the premiership and who are also from the following countries: England Scotland Wales So basically, the players are all from the UK. Below is the team that I would pick to play in my dream team: Goalkeeper – Paul ...

Am I alone? Am I the onle man in the World who can't stand the hype around football? Has the rest of the civilised World gone insane? I'm beginning to think it's a possibility. Before I start, I would like to say that I don't hate football. It is a game that requires great skill and amazing amounts of training, ...

The case for the defence of Andy Cole's strike rate. Mr Hoddle said in his statement that Mr cole needs 6 or 7 chances to score 1 goal. Let us use an example of the season when Mr Cole scored over 40 goals for Newcastle United. By Mr Hoddle's calculations this would mean that Mr Cole had probably around 300 scoring chances. ...

In my opinion the problem with referees has been going on for too long and now it is time for change. The amount of wrong decisions that cost teams vital games is stupid, there is a new despute coming up ever match. I'm a Leeds fan, and when I look back on the past season I remember the time we were robbed of all three points against ...

Football Clubs have finally lost the fight against player power. Now don’t get me wrong I am all for player power to a certain extent but when players who actually anishiate their own transfers by bad mouthing their clubs in public and through the media I am saddened by it. Now before I get onto the player whom has inspired this opinion ...

Why do people have to DIE of a silly game of football. Football roits kill people every year, WHY?. You dont see people losing their life while at a tennis match or rudby game. So why do people get so uptight and aggresive while watching a football match. The people and players behind the game of football are some of the biggest people in the ...

Many people have debated the ultimate England team. When the manager makes his selection you will hear cries of, I could have done a better job than him. Well you know what I can to. Below is a selection of football players who really should be the England team and the reasons why. 1. David James (Aston Villa) – This guy is ...

I have been very interested in the recent shift of opinion regarding David Beckham. Suddenly he is the man to take England to the next level, a captain in the mould of Bobby Moore, quiet but leads by example. In 98 he was the most hated man in Britain In 01 he is the darling of the nation! Oh how fickle we English are or should I say how ...

I was playing 5-a-side tonight actually, first time in ages. As it turned out we won quite convincingly and managed an 11-0 scoreline, myself grabbing one and making 3 or 4. But the main point is how sandy the pitches are! Being football you know its a great game to play, heh, and although some of the rules are changed - the no over head ...

In Dec. last year I finally got to visit Anfield. It had taken me years to get there, but I enjoyed almost every second. As travelling Charlton fans the Wife and I went up to Liverpool for the Weekend. From our Hotel we jumped into a cab and traveled to Anfield. As we turned the corner we saw the other half, ie. Goodison. We decided to take a look ...

Yes Man Utd is a great club winning the european cup against Bayern Munich was one of the greatest matches in history for us Utd fans anyway, but don't you fellow fans feel a little bit let down by the recent series of results the club has churned out. Three losses to mediocre, if not poor bottom of the table teams. This would have ...

It's a rainy saturday afternoon, in a small town. It's the end of the season, and I'm attempting to push a nine month old baby, in a buggy, through a small metal turnstile. It is very windy, it's cold, and I want a coffee. Oh...and I don't particularly like football. But I'm there. With baby. With no coffee, no ...

The results have just been annouced for the manager of the year and its George Burley who has won it. Usually it is the manager of the premiership champions who wins it but this year it seemed to be a majority decision that Ferguson wouldn't get it and the talk decided on who would I said that if Leeds got through to the European cup final ...
