Flying Kiwis – August 25
West Ham won a game. Away from home. Scoring 3 goals. One from Stewart Downing. Another from Carlton Cole. Stop me when you reach the tipping point of your imagination, but it’s all true.
Fergie’s Chewing Gum – August 22
This one took off in a hurry last night and it seems like it’s already set in stone. Mario Balotelli will join Liverpool for something around £16m from AC Milan, pending a medical. Allegedly LFC are putting a ‘good behaviour’ clause in Mario’s contract. Probably because of things like this...

Ah, football. Our faithful supplier of goals and drama. Welcome back, friend, we’ve missed you.
Transfer Chewing Gum - August 19
We learned plenty of lessons in the first week of the Premier League. None more so than the fiasco at Old Trafford, where three debutants were forced to start and Nani ended up playing 45 minutes despite being allegedly axed (along with Anderson and Zaha) from all first team activities as the club prepare to sell him.
Flying Kiwis – August 18
Yeah, I know. You watch the news. Let me just refresh your memory anyway. So last week, Chris Wood had been told he was free to leave the club if he wanted to. Wolves were calling, and a fee was agreed. As basically the club’s fourth choice striker it didn’t look like too many opportunities were coming for Wood...

Hola amigos! The new season is upon us, and although the Premier League may not kick off for another few days, the Championship (and a few of the continental leagues) got underway this past weekend, which means there are kiwis a-flying in the world of football!
Transfer Chewing Gum - August 5
We’re inching closer and closer to the start of the Premier League season. Teams are going through their final preparations, going through the motions in a few friendlies and going through their chequebooks as they hope to close up that final transfer or two that’ll make all the difference.
Transfer Chewing Gum – July 29
Whoah-oh-oh, hold the phone! Remember that Loic Remy to Liverpool deal from last week? Well, it’s off. No go. Remy failed a medical and Pool backed that truck right up. This is really weird, and QPR boss ‘Arry Redknapp has (as per usual) had plenty to say...
What’s Up With England?
