Video: Fantastic Madron FC footage (including the Peter Reid training session) Posted: 01 Feb 2011 04:38 AM PST Oh, yes! You’ve died and gone to Madron heaven This footage comes from the BBC’s Inside Out South West programme and the Madron action starts 10mins 50 secs into the video above. Not only is there plenty of match highlights so that you can judge for yourself exactly where the Cornish village side’s defending is [...]

Newcastle fans, did you enjoy turning the page of your calendar this morning? Posted: 01 Feb 2011 02:38 AM PST Meet Mr February Newcastle United inflicted a spot of calendar FAIL upon themselves by selling Andy Carroll to Liverpool yesterday. Members of the Toon Army angry at Carroll’s departure turned the page on their official club calendars this morning to find their former number 9 is February’s poster boy. At least it’s the shortest month [...]

Top 10 transfer deadline day winners Posted: 01 Feb 2011 02:33 AM PST Who did well out of yesterday’s circus? 1. Newcastle United They pocketed a brief British transfer record fee for a player with less than six months of Premier League experience and managed to crudely convince the media and public that the player had been the driving force behind the move. 2. Helicopter pilots There were [...]

January transfer window – Premier League round up Posted: 01 Feb 2011 01:56 AM PST Review of the comings and goings, toings and froings Arsenal Would Wenger be the worst person to play Football Manager with? No players in in January, a lot now rest on the shoulders of recently fringe players Djourou and Sczezny. Fans at the Emirates will be concerned, but not surprised. Aston Villa Arguably made the [...]

“Yeah, I know”: It’s Liverpool’s new strikeforce Posted: 01 Feb 2011 01:43 AM PST Britain, Britain, Britain As noted by any number of Twitter wags (not WAGs), Liverpool yesterday spent an absolute fortune to team-up a dream strike partnership of Lou and Andy. If anybody can be bothered to do a less shoddy Photoshop, we will gladly replace that one!

Video: Fernando Torres talks to Chelsea TV Posted: 01 Feb 2011 01:21 AM PST El Nino on his transfer A tired Fernando Torres squeezed in an exclusive interview with Chelsea TV before heading to bed after completing his £50 million transfer to the west London club. And he made some pretty thinly-veiled digs at the way Liverpool have regressed in recent seasons and the lack of Champions League football [...]

Video: Neri Cardozo clashes with an advertising hoarding Posted: 01 Feb 2011 01:11 AM PST Ad the impaler Monterrey midfielder Neri Cardozo had a painful coming together with an advertising hoarding during his side’s defeat to Pumas. The Argentinian attempted to hurdle the pitchside hoardings, only to catch his trailing leg. Knocked off balance, he flies towards another set of hoardings and lands painfully on the sharp corner. OTP’s favourite [...]

Football Lookalikes: New Chelsea signing David Luiz and Sideshow Bob Posted: 01 Feb 2011 01:03 AM PST The, Bart, The Poor old David Luiz looked like he was going to be Chelsea’s star attraction in the January transfer window. Instead he ended up being sneaked in through the tradesman’s entrance as Fernando Torres stole the show. Hopefully he is not planning a murderous revenge, despite his similarities to The Simpsons’ resident psychopath [...]

Video: Liverpool fans burn Fernando Torres shirt Posted: 01 Feb 2011 12:54 AM PST Club can cover cost of Carroll fee with replacement replica shirt sales Disgruntled Scousers took part in the grand modern tradition of burning the £60 piece of polyester bearing your former favourite player’s name as he leaves the club. Liverpool fans held a Torres shirt bonfire for the benefit of the Sky Sports cameras.

Top 10 other strikers you could sign for £35 million or less Posted: 31 Jan 2011 10:19 AM PST Andy Carroll looks a bit pricey at £35m plus. Where else could Liverpool have spent their Torres cash? 1. Diego Forlan The Atletico Madrid man famously flopped in the Prem last time out and signing an ex-United player might cause a bit of a stir, but he is a proven talent who stole the show [...]
