As we wait for the ‘done deals’ of a few weeks ago to be announced, and try to overcome the disappointment/disgust of England’s showing in the World Cup (well, those of us who follow England of course – I imagine a fair few of you had a good laugh at that!) it’s getting really rather [...]

I said before the World Cup commenced that I couldn’t get in to watching England like I do with Forest. If one ever needed justification for it, the group of individuals (note the lack of using the word ‘team’) provided it with another abject showing, and a deserved trouncing at the hands of Germany. It’s [...]

Stand down from your team talk duties and get a certain somebody to fill in… …. oh, and please dear God put Joe Cole on in place of Wright-Phillips, don’t play Carragher any more, get Heskey off the pitch and give Rooney an almighty kick up the arse. Sorted!

I’m sure you’ve picked up the fixtures we have to look forward to next season. Because of the arseishness of the footballing authorities I’m not allowed to post a list of fixtures and dates (due to copyright), but you can see them on the official site easily enough by clicking here. Anyway, our first game [...]

England’s start to the World Cup continues to falter. With all due respect to Algeria, we should be looking to beat them – and we didn’t, we didn’t even score – and didn’t really deserve to, to be honest. Another very frustratingly disjointed and unproductive performance, and tantrums from the ‘great English hope’ Rooney after [...]

Let’s start with the less auspicious one, we shall be starting our Carling Cup campaign against Bradford City – away at Valley Parade (or some sponsored name involving windows that I forget, officially speaking). It will take place in the second week of August, and you may have a sense of deja vu as we [...]

In between the buzzing of the vuvuzelas there are increasingly insistent whisperings that the Reds might just be close to sealing a deal for Villa fullback Nicky Shorey. Of course, we know all about him from his loan spell with us – and how tits up our league form went once that loan expired. Figures [...]

If Channel 4′s Come Dine With Me programme isn’t one of your usual guilty pleasures, you might not have spotted the Footballer-themed episode recently (and if you didn’t, you should check it out as it was funny as hell) featuring Neil Ruddock, John Fashanu, Frank Worthington and former Red (lest we forget) Carlton Palmer. Anyway, [...]

The third day of the World Cup isn’t yet over, but I can probably conclusively answer, it’ll be the constant drone of these badboys. Particularly during ITV’s coverage the noise like a million swarms of angry wasps is really rather prevalent. The Vuvuzela has probably been cause of as many headlines as any on-the-pitch action, [...]

I must admit that the discussions around our gathering before England took on USA were largely centred around the goalkeeping selection. Our straw poll seemed to favour David James as the best option, with Joe Hart second and Robert Green – who’s had a not particularly impressive season with West Ham – a fairly distant [...]
