I slept for four hours and then watched football for six, and this was some of the stuff that I scribbled down along the way.
If kicking people was considered an artform, Jamie Carragher would be Rembrandt. How does he keep getting away with mauling someone nearly every time he gets a chance? My [...]
Here are some amusing witicisms from Arsenal’s manager (credit to BBC Sport).
On Footballing Philosophy
“When you’re dealing with someone who only has a pair of underpants on, if you take his underpants off, he has nothing left - he’s naked. You’re better off trying to find him a pair of trousers to complement him rather than [...]
Craig Bellamy was back in the headlines again this weekend. Fresh off his acquittal for assaulting a teenage girl in a night club, the walloping Welshman was reportedly at it again. Dismayed at teammate John-Arne Riise’s refusal to participate in a late night karaoke competition, Bellamy reportedly goaded the Norwegian left-back resulting in [...]
Though accounting for all of the vacuous utterances from the world of sport would be an arduous task, we hear at Odds and Sods hope to make “I Could Eat a Knob At Night” a semi-regular forum to discuss the profoundly stupid.
Our first, for this edition, comes from Paul Jewell, manager of Wigan Athletic. [...]
This goal from Heidar Helguson put Fulham ahead 1-0 in their eventual 2-1 defeat of Newcastle on Saturday. He intercepts a backpass with a magnificent chip into the net on the first touch.
The win leaves Fulham at 14th on the table, 12 pts away from the relegation zone. With the added [...]
Here is a classic example of a Ronaldo dive. This one won a penalty in today’s match against Tottenham. However, they were denied a legitimate one earlier, so it all came out even.
This was a magnificent chip from Wayne Rooney, who came on late in Manchester United’s FA Cup match against Portsmouth. His 2 goal burst kept United’s FA Cup run alive, giving them a 2-1 victory.
American businessmen Tom Hicks and George Gillet flew to Liverpool, for what was supposedly a “secret” meeting to discuss a joint 470m GBP takeover of the club. The deal would include 215m GBP to be earmarked toward the construction of a new stadium.
Gillet would seem to be the most fitting owner for Liverpool FC. [...]
The FA Cup was back this weekend to save us from the doldrums of a meaningful Premiership weekend. I would try to add my own poetic touch to how boring the FA Cup was this weekend, but I think Sean Ingle and Rob Smyth on today’s Fiver put it best.
“Reserve teams? Tick. Low crowds? [...]
The English national team is underperforming. Surely this isn’t the FA’s fault. Let’s blame the Premiership! It’s fat. It’s bloated. It’s rich. It’s money grubbing. It is a perfect target. Let’s blame foreign players! They dive. They look different than us. They have crazy [...]
