Burton & Peschisolido journey into the unknown 1:02pm on 05 Aug 2009 Good luck Pesch from everyone back home!
Owen worth Man Utd gamble 12:00pm on 03 Jul 2009 Would've had him back at Liverpool in a flash - it's a good signing by Fergie. Owen can't play 90 minutes every game, but as a third or even fourth striker to come in when and as needed, it's hard to imagine him getting anyone much better.
Experience matters in management stakes 11:33am on 20 May 2009 While I agree that having a properly experienced manager behind the bench is a much better option than someone like a Shearer, Hodgson has been unbelievably fortunate with injuries this season. He's had 7 ever-presents in his side - I doubt any other club has been so fortunate.
Fairer than the evening air? 00:18am on 14 Mar 2009 gbshaun is correct. The Alto-Lab product Chambers is using starts at about $200 US for the starter kit. For an athlete from a poor nation, that is certainly a lot cheaper than flying to Colorado or Kenya for several weeks prior to competition.

If anything, it evens the playing field for poor nations without access to true altitude training.
Scolari fails to step out of Jose's shadow 8:53pm on 09 Feb 2009 Chelsea - I hate to say this, but you're turning into a joke team. This firing is wrong on too many levels to list.
Mourinho will relish Man Utd test 3:23pm on 19 Dec 2008 Great to get Real - this is what the Champions League is all about: England's most successful team versus Spain's, 2 of the big 3 of Europe, Liverpool v. Madrid. Fantastic!

Can see United and Arsenal getting through, but Juve is a very tough draw for Chelsea.
Big Sam is back 7:23pm on 17 Dec 2008 Not a fan of Allardyce but he achieved a lot with a tiny club at Bolton and little cash and what Rovers need is an experienced hand at the wheel to guide them out of the mess they are in.

It's a good appointment and Blackburn fans should be happy.
Golf losing a great as Annika waves goodbye 9:38pm on 14 Dec 2008 We're going to miss her now that she's gone. She was the best in the world at what she does, yet never boasted or acted like a big shot. She always had time for her fans and earned everything she received.

Good luck to a very classy lady.
Wenger wise to appoint Fabregas 4:40pm on 24 Nov 2008 Wenger is one of the top 5 managers in football - to dump him would be madness.

He does have one managerial weakness however - and that is in how he lets loose canons like Gallas, Lehmann, Henry, etc, just shoot their mouths of. There doesn't seem to be that strong team discipline off the pitch and that's a problem of Wenger's own devising to some extent.

As for Fabregas as captain - I'm not convinced, although he might be the best option currently available.

Arsenal is lacking a Gerrard or Carragher, a Terry, a Giggs or Neville - a guy who is Arsenal through and through. I still get the feeling Fabregas might be on a plane to Barca next year.
Barack to the future 4:35pm on 06 Nov 2008 Standards are slipping around here ...
