Adebayor madness mars Man City win 3:18pm on 13 Sep 2009 I can't be the only one who doesn't care that much about his goal celebration. Storm in a teacup, really. I think there's been more controversy surrounding the discussion about whether or not it was a controversy, than whether or not the incident was in itself controversial. If you get me.

Hilarious.
Injuries take their toll on England's lionheart 10:20am on 17 Jul 2009 Clearly it's sad that Flintoff is going, but how can he complain of burnout on one hand, and on the other play for that sickening marketing scheme that is the IPL?

Daft.
Governor criticises government (again) 10:45pm on 17 Jun 2009 Would be easier to get rid of the bank of england and stop giving banks (including BoE) free reign to create money out of thin air. Credit crisis solved, need for central banking removed.

But obviously that will never happen.
England player ratings 4:00pm on 18 May 2009 I think the ratings are pretty accurate, but let's not lose sight of the fact that the West Indies were truly awful and Australia will be a far tougher test. I'm sure the players are well aware of this though, so this was a good warm up at least.
Man Utd pile on agony for Wenger 6:56pm on 06 May 2009 Fair play to Ronaldo. I've been critical of him in the past for going absent in big games - and he did - but this season he's proved me wrong, which is good for the neutral because he does score some excellent goals.

Rooney had a stormer too. Well played Man Utd.
Getting the recipe right 1:47pm on 09 Feb 2009 # 25: He does talk a lot of rubbish... he's kind of rugby's version of Geoffrey Boycott. Only for me he's slightly less annoying, so I can just about cope with the commentary.

Just don't make me listen to him over a period longer than 80 minutes.
Getting the recipe right 1:41pm on 09 Feb 2009 Good article, and it is fair to say that Wales, Ireland and France all put in good performances, with Ireland-France being by far the best game of the weekend (lovely rugby by both sides... will Ireland finally realise their potential?). England were less than impressive, but there are a few things to bear in mind. England, except for 15/20 minutes in the 2nd half, didn't really look like conceding... as a poster above noted, both England and Wales opened up big leads and let the opposition huff and puff for the rest of the game. Wales did it with more verve and nous, but a win's a win. Furthermore, Italy were truly awful and England barely had to get out of 1st gear and still ran in five tries.

I'm not suggesting England are going to win it this year, but perhaps judgement on their potential should be reserved until Cardiff next week. It was still a big win, almost all the chances were taken and nothing else was really tested. Three things need improving: the pack needs to function more cohesively (lineouts good, scrums, for some reason, not great, and I'd like to see some good old-fashioned brutality at the breakdown); LESS KICKING AWAY OF POSSESSION; and if Goode starts again, please, please keep a deeper line. It was far too flat against Italy, and with such a flat line and such conservative distribution, how are we going to know how good the backs are?

Here's hoping the Welsh get a bloody nose (or at least a good game) next week!
You've got to hand it to Ron 9:47pm on 05 Dec 2008 199... ripped Chelsea a new one? Good in the semi finals? What are you on about? THe man just doesn't turn up for big games
You've got to hand it to Ron 6:09pm on 04 Dec 2008 89:

'You don't watch much football do you? You obviously missed last season's CL Final (The biggest club game in the world)

You might want to check out his goals and assist record against Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool too.

Some people are just sheep......'

Yeah he got the goal but he was awful in the semi finals and his overall performance in the final wasn't great. ANd he missed that penalty.

Furthermore to the best of my knowledge he's only scored once against chelsea and never against liverpool... but these stats are a few months old. The majority of his goals are against poor clubs and I was talking about his overall performance.

I'm not denying he's a good player, but not the best in the world and certainly not the best ever in the EPL
You've got to hand it to Ron 3:17pm on 03 Dec 2008 I laughed at the blog, but your lauding of Ronaldo is silly... I realise the press (and the BBC especially) love him to death, but there's not a chance that he is at Bergkamp's level in terms of skill.

The crucial missing link though is that while he's in the right place at the right time in games against bad teams, he never, ever shows up for big games. He's marked out of them and loses his bottle.

That is not 'best player in the world' material for me.
