Robbie Savage kicks off on OTP Posted: 05 Jan 2011 06:47 AM PST Is nobody safe from Sav’s Twitter attacks? Off The Post has found itself the subject of an unlikely Twitter tirade from Robbie Savage this afternoon. The Derby County midfielder took exception to our post suggesting that frustrated Rams fans were well within their rights to boo their side’s during the 0-0 draw with Millwall. Savage [...]

OTP Podcast: Episode 7 – Stan Collymoron Posted: 05 Jan 2011 05:02 AM PST “I LOVE FOOTBALL!” With those New Year hangovers just about wearing off, why not ease yourself into 2011 with the OTP Podcast Episode 7. This week we'll be looking at a referee being taught a lesson in Mexico, Stan Collymore's "alternative" commentary style, a rather inebriated official in Belarus and why Sunderland’s forward line are [...]

Is our hatred of Blackburn boss Steve Kean irrational? Posted: 05 Jan 2011 03:25 AM PST OTP’s new least favourite Prem manager We have a confession to make. OTP discovered this morning that it has a severe disliking of Blackburn Rovers caretaker manager Steve Kean. The suspicions that we weren’t his biggest fans were already there, but the lightbulb moment came when we read that he is planning a one-to-one meeting [...]

Robbie Savage attacks Derby fans on Twitter Posted: 05 Jan 2011 02:10 AM PST Everyone knows he’s a bit of a twit As we well know, Robbie Savage is a man that both loves an opinion and likes people hearing said opinions. Whilst in truth that is a stance that I admire, Robbie took things perhaps a slight too far when Derby fans reacted badly during their side’s 0-0 [...]

West Ham boss Avram Grant takes coaching tips from Roberto Mancini, gets a lucky scarf Posted: 05 Jan 2011 01:37 AM PST Thank your lucky scarves Avram Grant has revealed the secret behind West Ham’s stunning turnaround over the Christmas period – a lucky scarf. The charmed neckwear was first sported by Grant in his side’s unlikely 4-0 Carling Cup triumph over Manchester United. He foolishly ditched the scarf for the defeats to Sunderland and Manchester City, [...]

Top 10 footballing conclusions 2010 Posted: 05 Jan 2011 01:29 AM PST Because late has always been better than never As the grim reality of being back to the 9 to 5 sets in, and the monotony of office life bites, it must be time to review the 2010 footballing year. Feel free to add any more you think I’ve missed off… 1. Blue is the colour [...]

Video: Jose Mourinho slides into his dugout (Getafe v Real Madrid) Posted: 05 Jan 2011 01:16 AM PST A Special Slip Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has not been having the best of luck with dugouts so far this season. First of all there was the injury he sustained by headbutting the dugout during Real’s victory over Real Sociedad in December. Now the Getafe dugout attempted to claim the Special One’s coccyx as [...]

Video: Manchester United’s Javier Hernandez scores a cheeky ‘Zola’ backheel against Stoke Posted: 04 Jan 2011 02:48 PM PST Little Pea improvisation Manchester United just about had enough to see off Stoke City at Old Trafford. They recorded a less than convincing 2-1 victory, but both of their goals were absolute beauts. Javier Hernandez opened the scoring with this cheeky backheel. Shades of Gianfranco Zola. Nani secured the win with a left-footed curler from [...]
