You, Sir, Are Up For Review!

Normally those words aren't a positive sign. Not for Sven-Goran Eriksson, who must've interpreted this as music to his slightly overgrown ears. Or maybe it's complete bollocks. April ended with rumors that Thaksin Shinawatra would be releasing Sven f ...

LFC 1 - 0 Man City

Sven To Be Canned, But What About The Puppet?

Judging by recent comments by human rights advocate and Man City owner Thaksin Shinawatra, the reports coming out today stating Sven-Goran Eriksson will be unemployed come the end of the year. Patient guy, that Thaksin. So the paychecks in Manchester ...

Twenty Minutes of Hysteria

For everyone who considered Diomansy Kamara a flop was proven wholly incorrect yesterday. His two goals were incredible: a dismantling of Corluka before the nutmeg (yes, NUTMEG) of English wunderkind Joe Hart; and an absolute scorcher in the 90th tha ...

Goal of the Week - Jozy Needs You.

Ok guys, that cracker goal Jozy scored against New England (which I got to witness from 6 rows up!) is actually losing to Landon Donovan. How? I have no friggin idea. Maybe the Beckham affect infects polls here. But this has to change. No ...

Manchester City 3-1 Pompey: What a Game!

I don't usually say this about a game that Pompey have lost but that was 90 minutes of heaven! Despite the fact that at times we looked awful; despite the fact that Jamo made some rediculous errors; despite the fact that Sol n Sylv looked like the ...

Michael Johnson or Psycho T?

Chelsea is busy prepping for its trip to Manchester to face City. I, on the other hand, am wondering if Michael Johnson will actually be in the XI for City.  If not, I guarantee you he's in San Antonio. Why you ask? Because that man is good for 20 a ...

No, Seriously, Leave My Giant the F Alone

The latest disturbing news coming from Anfield is that Rafa Benitez is looking to complete a trade this summer with Manchester City that would send Peter Crouch and bring in Michael Johnson. I would name a source, but I lost the link (worst journalist ev

Benjani Could Still Join Manchester City

Pompey favourite Benjani could still be on his way to Man City. Despite the paperwork not being completed on time last night, there is a rule which sometimes allows the transfer to go ahead even if it was completed after the deadline. Pompeys top s

Spurs Go Marching On! (To Semi-Final)

What a dream game for Tottenham Hotspur! Jermaine Defoe scores six minutes in as Spurs dominate City early only to find themselves down a man minutes later as Didier Zokora receives a harsh red card. Defoe was then forced to come off in favor of Teemu

Spurs Notes

- I feel like Spurs finally, FINALLY, made a bit of a statement Saturday when they won at Fratton Park. With Zokora at Centre Back and a pretty potent Pompy team on the pitch, recent scoring woes aside, Spurs pressured the ball, made things difficult

Odds and Ends as We Wonder How Adriano is Getting Along

•Man City are in the picture for Adriano again. Well, maybe anyway -- this time the interest is official, with no less an authority that Thaksin Shinawatra putting his name forward. •More on the Davide Marchini saga: His agent/mouthpiece Lorenzo Ma

Portsmouth 0-0 Manchester City

In a game that I thought would contain a good few goals, it turned out that out-of-favour striker Dave Nugent came the closest to scoring. After a long ball and a header down from a City defender, Nugent unleashed a venomous strike that beat Joe Hart in t

EPL Round 12: Sunderland AFC vs Manchester City FC

Sunderland's winless streak extended to 6 today with a 1-0 loss to Manchester City. Boo, I say. And Boo again. In what was (apparently) a fairly even contest, Stephen Ireland scored in the 67th minute to put City back up to 3rd in the EPL, leapfr

Sorry I've been such a bad blogger this week. No recap of the Fulham match, no mid-week news, and now this lame attempt to combine both with a preview of Monday's Man City match. Apologies in advance for your reading displeasure... EPL Round 11:

International break... Bah
