Porto set to report Manchester City to Uefa over ‘You’re Not Incredible’ Hulk chants Posted: 23 Feb 2012 06:22 AM PST Manchester City 4-0 FC Porto footyroom.com by footyroom Porto are considering reporting Manchester City over chants aimed at their striker Hulk during last night’s Europa League match. In what appears to be a fairly petty response to City reported allegedly racist chanting aimed at Mario Balotelli during the first leg, the Portuguese side have apparently [...]

Sunderland’s Fraizer Campbell named in Stuart Peace’s England squad Posted: 23 Feb 2012 03:32 AM PST Sunderland striker Fraizer Campbell is probably the biggest surprise in Stuart Peace’s squad for England’s friendly against Holland next week. That’s unless he is planning on unleashed a three-pronged right-back attack of Micah Richards, Glen Johnson and Kyle Walker, in which case those revolutionary tactics would probably be the biggest surprise. As we told you [...]

Spoof: Carlos Tevez apology sours after Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini enters him for Crufts Posted: 23 Feb 2012 03:18 AM PST Carlos Tevez's patched up relation with Manchester City is in tatters again after it emerged that Roberto Mancini had only allowed him back to the club in order to enter him at Crufts. The Argentine's inflammatory accusation that Roberto Mancini treated him "like a dog" took a new twist today as it emerged that the [...]

A reminder of the last time Stuart Pearce named an experimental England team Posted: 23 Feb 2012 02:05 AM PST As we told you earlier, reports suggest that Stuart Pearce is set to name an ‘experimental’ squad to face Holland next week. Just a quick warning so you can brace yourselves for the unexpected, the last time Pearce named an experimental England line-up it ended up with Peterborough goalkeeper Joe Lewis playing up front! Remind [...]

Deivid (Flamengo) misses the easiest chance ever? Posted: 23 Feb 2012 01:53 AM PST There isn’t a lot better, in my opinion, than a dreadful miss. Especially if you have it on video. So when Flamengo faced Vasco da Gama in the semi final of the Guanabara Trophy, striker was left massively embarassed when his shot from three yards rebounded back off the post. With the scores level at [...]

Legia Warsaw fans attack Lisbon players with snowballs Posted: 23 Feb 2012 01:40 AM PST Whilst OTP doesn’t condone the throwing of missiles onto the pitch, we are still a little bit impressed by the Legia Warsaw that used the inclement weather to their advantage. Three Sporting Lisbon players were training on the pitch before the game, but after a secret signal from the ultras, fans threw snowballs at the [...]

Joey Barton launches the new England kit via Twitter. D’oh! Posted: 23 Feb 2012 01:11 AM PST FA bosses and no doubt Umbro bosses will probably be fuming this morning after Joey Barton launched the new England kit via Twitter! New England kits are usually released after a carefully orchestrated photoshoot involving senior players, with images released to the media strictly embargoed until after the official launch. Indeed, your very own OTP [...]

England U21 manager Stuart Pearce set to name England U21 team for his senior squad Posted: 23 Feb 2012 12:55 AM PST Football managers are infamous for wanting to rely on players they’ve already worked with. So with England interim manager Stuart Pearce possibly in charge for just one game, he’s calling upon players he knows very well from his proper job as England Under 21 manager. Newspaper reports today suggest that Pearce yesterday phoned many senior [...]
