Top five best Premier League kits 2010/11 Posted: 16 Aug 2010 05:55 AM PDT Classy kits for the new season 1. Tottenham home Something a bit different from Tottenham, and we think it works well. Quite simple but a bit unusual and has a certain retro charm. Good work, Puma. 2. Manchester United home Some informal dip-sampling suggests that this is a bit of a Marmite kit. While OTP would rather eat [...]

Competition: Win two tickets to the Aston Villa v Birmingham derby match Posted: 16 Aug 2010 05:31 AM PDT The hottest ticket in the Midlands, and we have got two to give away OTP has a pair of tickets to the Birmingham derby to give to a lucky reader.

Video: The awesome new Match of the Day credits Posted: 16 Aug 2010 04:08 AM PDT MOTD goes back to the future The BBC took us by surprise this weekend with some amazing new opening credits for Match of the Day to herald the new season. The titles cleverly (if in some places a little crudely) knit together footage of footballing heroes of the past with the Premier League’s current top talent [...]

Diego Maradona wants to manage Villa Posted: 16 Aug 2010 03:49 AM PDT Is he still having cocaine problems? Former Argentina manager Diego Maradona has hinted that he wouldn’t mind managing Premier League outfit Aston Villa. Previous manager Martin O'Neill walked out on the club last week, leaving caretaker boss Kevin MacDonald in charge for the first weekend of the new season, when they beat West Ham 3-0. Maradona’s agent stated [...]

Video: Wolves’ David Jones scores a cheeky free-kick against Stoke Posted: 16 Aug 2010 03:10 AM PDT Set-piece magic Poor old David Jones must have spent all summer working on this, hoping that a player at the World Cup might show similar imagination. But at the first opportunity he showed the world’s top players a thing or two about flair with this early goal of the season contender against Stoke. The Wolves midfielder received [...]

Video: Pepe Reina’s own goal howler (Liverpool v Arsenal) Posted: 16 Aug 2010 02:00 AM PDT Scrambled into his own net Straight out of the Robert Green collection of goalkeeping howlers that get worse each time you see them comes this from Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina. Picture the scene: it is the 88th minute. Your side has played the entire second half with 10 men. They have even taken the lead with [...]

Top 10 conclusions Premier League weekend 14-15 Posted: 16 Aug 2010 01:16 AM PDT 1. Chelsea are so selfish. They just couldn’t let Blackpool have the glory could they? 2. Having said that, we reckon the result at the DW Stadium told us much more about the state of Wigan than Blackpool. 3. It looks like Aston Villa have got over Martin O’Neill pretty quickly. A few more results like that [...]
