There's a quip involving the word handball somewhere out there...

Hello once again all…few changes since the last time I got speaking to you. My career as an amateur Nostradamus fell through, Robbie Keane got me irritated and yesterday, we were in the hat along with the rest of Europe for the Euro 2012 qualifying draw.

Ireland vs. France Live Blog

Go time…

“An absolute catastrophe, which I still cannot grasp”

“The team is basically composed of overrated Premiership players….”

Look at it this way, we’re not Norway…

Manfield Town Are The Future

It's going to be impossible to do this without referencing Radiohead's album In Rainbows, which has sort of paved the mainstream way for "pay what you want" retail.

Robinho's Second Santos Debut, and Neymar's Paradinha Penalty

Robinho didn't disappoint on his second Santos debut, coming off the bench to score a Zola-esque near post flick of a winner vs São Paulo. Whatever you might think of the man who rides the Pelécopter, it's good to see such an entertaining footballer looking happy again. But don't worry, there's ...

As I'm sure most of our American readers will know, today is Super Bowl XLIV (or Super Bowl 44, if you don't speak Roman numeral). Super Bowl Sunday is an easy excuse for us soccer fans to indulge ourselves by bashing the "other" football, reminding fans of said sport that ...
