| GIF It: Fulham’s Chris Baird still getting used to this goal celebration lark Posted: 29 Oct 2012 04:08 AM PDT Fulham superstar Chris Baird is discovering that his new role as goalscoring hero brings with it some new pressures. The defender-turned-midfielder has scored two goals in his last two Premier League games, but is still getting used to the baggage that brings. For instance, there’s the goal celebration to think about. The formerly goal-shy Northern [...]

| The Premier League: the Bradley-est league in the world Posted: 29 Oct 2012 03:26 AM PDT As we all know, the Premier League is the greatest league in the world. The evidence for this has been repeatedly put forward by a host of pundits who don’t watch any other leagues by way of comparison. But OTP would like to add a little snippet to the pile of evidence. In which other [...]

| Posted: 29 Oct 2012 03:05 AM PDT Well, here is a first. We’re all well averse to players power-hosing match officials with a myriad of swear words but now the tables have seemingly turned – with the man in black turning the air blue against the Blues. That’s according to Chelsea who last night complained to the Premier League about “inappropriate language” directed at [...]

| Video: Tottenham fans fight over Brad Friedel’s shirt Posted: 29 Oct 2012 02:58 AM PDT Sometimes we get so caught up in football’s hyperbole and over-excitable nature that we forget what it’s really about: middle-aged men fighting over sweaty shirts worn by their heroes. These two characters decided to ditch their dignity in favour of a televised wrestling match for the right to own THE very shirt worn by goalkeeper [...]

| Don’t keep the change – Barcelona’s Martin Montoya denies stealing taxi driver’s wallet Posted: 29 Oct 2012 02:45 AM PDT Head off to Barcelona for a city break and chances are you’ll hear two pieces of advice: make sure to grab a tour of the magnificent Nou Camp stadium and watch out for pickpockets. Now be prepared to add one more warning to the list - beware of thieving Barcelona players… perhaps. Let us explain. Last week, a taxi driver from [...]

| QPR’s Stephane Mbia a little miffed by the location of his club: “I thought they were in Scotland” Posted: 29 Oct 2012 02:35 AM PDT Stephane Mbia did nothing to stem the common belief that professional footballers have dramatically little going on in between their heads after admitting an abysmal awareness of his club’s geographical location. The QPR midfielder - who has recently complained that the Premier League was “nothing but battles” full of “cuts and bruises” – hit the imbecilic sweet-spot at the weekend. Mbia said: [...]

| Unlikely hard-nut Dimitar Berbatov scored late Fulham goal despite broken rib Posted: 29 Oct 2012 02:30 AM PDT Given that Dimitar Berbatov traditionally pirouettes around the pitch like he’s auditioning for Swan Lake, it’s easy to jump to the assumption that a broken rib would see him off the pitch quicker than you can say ‘Fergie should have played him more’. Slapped wrists for us and many others, for Dimi has proved himself [...]

| Actor Daniel Craig tips Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard to become the next James Bond Posted: 29 Oct 2012 02:25 AM PDT Last week we highlighted the above video – a rather enjoyable imagining of a world where Wayne Rooney moonlights as secret agent 007. The Manchester United striker’s performances at international level are a bit ropey so it would be interesting to see if he could buck that trend on the biggest spying stage. Like Rooney’s head, we [...]

| Top 10 conclusions Premier League weekend 27-28 October Posted: 29 Oct 2012 01:43 AM PDT 1. Team in red takes the lead thanks to an own goal and adds a second courtesy of poor marking by the opposition. Blue team suddenly kicks into life and fights back to 2-2. It’s impossible to know how this one will end. 2. Or perhaps not. Everton vs Liverpool and Chelsea vs Manchester United [...]

| Top 10 conclusions: Everton 2-2 Liverpool Posted: 28 Oct 2012 09:16 AM PDT 1. This was not exactly your typical Merseyside derby. In fact, it wasn’t your typical any kind of derby. Too often these encounters are a constant poker game as the two sides try to work out what the other is holding. Four goals in the first 35 minutes proved this was anything but a nervy [...]
