In another time, in another place, this Tottenham season would be getting talked about on par with tales of King Arthur or Hercules. The Harry Kane movie would already be onto its second script and Mauricio Pochettino would be the most beloved man in football.
Again Huth and Reid were warned. It was from the corner that West Ham got their break. Reid hit the deck with Morgan’s hands on his waist – a soft one but penalty given.
“You have to work for everything. You work for your pizza, too. We will make our own.”
Despite the semi-messiness around him, Winston actually had quite a good game against Arsenal. Not so much for Woody or Smithy, but at least Jeremy Brockie got to be a hero.
Another A-League season has come and gone and for the fifth time in their nine years (and third in the last four) the Wellington Phoenix will not get a game in the playoffs.
Can we have one more look at this goal, please?
It’s a good week for kiwi footballers when Winston Reid is talking all over the media.
Seeing Tim Cahill and his Socceroos beat up Jordan made the Doc feel some sort of way, so he wrote a thing about it.
"You can lead a fantastic life here. People are used to my face right now where I live, and you wouldn't believe but, as a Premier League manager, life is pretty normal in England."
Anytime you’re able to beat the world champions just a few months out from a major competition, that’s a good thing. Even more so when you do it with a hearty comeback on the back of a group of young and inexperienced players.
Champions League footy is not exactly a pipe dream for Winston and the Hammers. It’s a genuine opportunity.
Trying to form this unbalanced City team of injury prone stars and ex-Gunners back into the dominant force of the British Isles (as well as bringing that elusive continental success) is a far tougher gig than Pep’s being given credit for.
“The weight of the away goal is too heavy, too big and is not justifiable anymore … I think it's a problem in the modern game."
Okay, first off you have to transport back in time to 1485 when Richard III of England was killed in battle at Bosworth Field. Shakespeare wrote a play about it...
Will he play or will he stay home? It was a question that divided many West Ham fans as the Winston Reid injury return dragged on another week.
Last night I witnessed an incredible game of football. It didn’t take place in the gladiatorial confines of the Nou Camp or Bernabeu, nor the tribal haunts of Anfield or Old Trafford either.
Pretty soon it’s gonna get hard to keep track of all the Premier League catch up games, with all the postponements beginning to mount.
There’s one bloke we can always rely on who is never injured and that’s Tommy Smith.
Leicester drop two points and the rest of them drop three. Turns out God is as much of a bandwagon Leicester fan as the rest of us.
I miss the old Arsenal, straight from the 'Go Arsenal/Chop up the soul Arsenal, set on his goals Arsenal
