Sun, 11 Feb 2007 6:38:48 GMT - A Letter to Steve McClaren
Hi Stevie, Hope youre enjoying your new job as England boss. I must say since your appointment last August, Ive been feeling much more relaxed and secure as an England supporter. What a great run of games weve had since you took over. I particularly enjoyed the 6 hour traffic jam of getting to Old Trafford to watch that exciting 0-0 clash with Macedonia last October. A game that you followed by employing much needed tactical changes against Croatia by fielding an experimental 3-5-2 formation, which saw us crash out 2-0 on that occasion. I sure am glad I bothered making the trek to Zagreb, taking 3 days off work and spending 600 quid on tickets, airfares and hotels to witness that one. I am absolutely delighted you got the job over ONeil and Scholari. I have never been so happy as an England supporter. I know you may think I am perhaps coming over a tad cynical here Stevie, but no I really mean it, sat here typing is one very happy England supporter. You see Stevie, for the first time in my life, Ive been able to let go and get off the heart wrenching rollercoaster that is being an England supporter. Its never happened before, but for the first time, I watched an England game yesterday and really didnt care whether we won or lost. In ...
Fri, 09 Feb 2007 13:00:00 GMT - Premiership Betting (Sat 10th Feb) - Hammers To Bounce Back
WEST HAM UNITED have to be the bet of the day when they clash with fellow relegation candidates WATFORD at Upton Park on Saturday. This is simply a crucial game in the battle to survive the drop and although Curbishley has had some severe bad luck in terms of injuries to his new signings, attacking-wise he has an abundance of quality at his services. Watford on the other hand have endeavour and effort but have lacked that vital quality in the final third, especially taking into account the fact they lost ...
Fri, 09 Feb 2007 12:00:00 GMT - Why Rugby is Rubbish
been debated: Was that schoolboy in the box when he first picked up the football and so was it a penalty or not? The middle classes have taken a foul and called it a sport. It doesnt change anything. They can say they have an official world cup and should be an Olympic sport but it doesnt matter to me. The world cup final doesnt count; it should have been abandoned after five minutes for persistent handball. It wasnt a contest, just a game of football gone wrong. What makes the presence of rugby worse is rugger buggers lording it over football and sniffing over little things like diving. They constantly claim Rugby is a better sport because theres no diving like in football. NEWSFLASH thats because ...
Wed, 07 Feb 2007 9:00:00 GMT - Match Report: Aston Villa 1 West Ham 0 - Hammers Nightmare For Upson
It seems that not even £17 million can save West Ham at the moment as the Hammers slumped to a disappointing 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa. It was a day to forget for Alan Curbishleys men who lost new signing Matthew Upson to injury after just 28 minutes whilst the Villains grabbed all three points wit ...
