We see your Xavi and Iniesta, and we raise you Barry Ferguson Posted: 25 Oct 2010 07:51 AM PDT Barca-who? Who says the Premier League no longer attracts the best players in the world? Stats from Opta reveal that the most effective passer in England’s top-flight might just be Birmingham midfielder Barry Ferguson. Last season the Scot topped the charts for most completed passes and this season it look like he will be in [...]

Video: Jozy Altidore grills some steaks Posted: 25 Oct 2010 07:32 AM PDT Philly cheesesteaks, Jozy-style If Jozy Altidore’s promising young career takes an expected dip or ‘does an Adu’ as its technically known, at least he has got a trade to fall back on. It turns out the Villarreal striker, who spent last season on loan at Hull, is a dab hand at making Philly cheesesteaks.

Cesc Fabregas believes Arsenal are miles better than any normal team Posted: 25 Oct 2010 04:58 AM PDT Captain overstates Arsenal’s quality slightly Now I can accept that Arsenal deserved to win against Manchester City yesterday. But I cannot accept that the early sending off of Boyata did not affect the outcome of the game. In an interview this morning, Cesc Fabregas has suggested that the inequality in numbers was not a factor [...]

Lewis McGugan hits goal of the season free kick for Nottingham Forest against Ipswich Posted: 25 Oct 2010 04:49 AM PDT It’s genuinely not just here because I support the team! Ok Ok, so I am a Forest fan, it’s revealed. But even if I was an Ipswich Town season ticket holder then this free kick would be on here. It is one of football’s illogicies that when a player not known as world class scores [...]

Some unexpected prima donna behaviour from Aston Villa’s James Collins during team photo Posted: 25 Oct 2010 02:40 AM PDT Villains defender receives Photoshop touch-ups If I was Martin O’Neill, I would be a little suspicious that Aston Villa only get round to taking their team photo in October. It is almost like they knew that a pre-season team photo would not have very much longevity. Anyway, taking the picture in October proved to have [...]

Video: David Beckham scores after Landon Donovan’s shove in the back Posted: 25 Oct 2010 02:14 AM PDT Erm, is that a foul? Becks bagged his second goal of the season for LA Galaxy in the final game of the MLS Regular Season (whatever that is). The ex-England skipper fired in from the edge of the box as his side beat FC Dallas 2-1. His goal did owe a considerable amount to the [...]

Maltese newspaper apologises after Gary Neville ‘misquoted’ in his own column Posted: 25 Oct 2010 02:04 AM PDT Don’t mention the Citeh! Manchester United have published a newspaper’s apology about comments attributed to Gary Neville on their website. The Sunday Times of Malta issued the apology after it “misquoted” Neville – despite the fact that it was Neville’s own column where the quote appeared. A statement issued by editor Steve Mallia read: “With [...]

Video: PSV Eindhoven smash Feyenoord 10-0 Posted: 25 Oct 2010 01:35 AM PDT Eredivisie humiliation Remember those comforting days when even the most limited knowledge of Dutch football told you that the top three positions in the league was just a case of arranging Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord in the right order? Those days are no more. Feyenoord have been a slowly sinking ship for a few seasons [...]

Video: Manchester United pitch invader celebration fail! Posted: 25 Oct 2010 01:06 AM PDT So that’s why they wear studs This will probably be the last time this moron watches Manchester United play for a few years, but at least he went out with a bang. You know times are tough at United when a winning goal against Stoke is worthy of a pitch invasion. Nonetheless, one fan decided [...]

Top 10 conclusions Premier League weekend 23-24 October Posted: 25 Oct 2010 12:54 AM PDT 1. The Baby Killer strikes again! 2. Perhaps Manchester United should put Wayne Rooney on gardening leave for the next five years since they seemed to cope without him. Maybe this is Fergie’s cunning plan for revenge. 3. A 3-0 defeat to Arsenal should help keep Manchester City’s feet on the ground, albeit they played [...]
