Newcastle Preview | Danny Dyer and Depressed Sloths.

Mourinho wasted 180 minutes of our lives and got called a genius for it. Newcastle   Lately, Newcastle have displayed about as much motivation as a depressed sloth – which is understandable considering they hit the 40 point mark sometime back in January. Incidentally, around the time Cabaye left and Pardieu started fighting people. Since …

So, Sam, 38 Points – Should be enough, shouldn’t it?? | West Ham Preview

Right, my Internet is still down so I am writing this freestyle, feeling like a Google-shaped section of my brain was removed when I wasn’t looking. (Tony, how’d you do this in the olden days?!) Playing West ham at the Emirates should never be a cause for concern, should it? Their resurgence came at just …

Everton Away Preview

D-Sanchez-Cabello I’ll begin with the good news. Ramsey is back, with a chance of featuring today. It would seem slightly premature to start him, but you never know. Ramsey’s importance is hard to overstate. To my mind we haven’t had a more complete midfielder since Vieira. His early season form was magnificent and as a …

Ritual Sacrifices and David Moyes | Man City Preview

D-Sanchez-Cabello Earlier in the season, these match previews were written with a small amount of logic. They might adhere to something along the lines of: said team has weakness, which compliments certain strength of ours.

Sometimes You’ve Got to Speculate to Speculate | Swansea Preview

D-Sanchez-Cabello The weather has an uncanny knack for mirroring footballing moods, especially in western England where the land pushes further into the Atlantic.

Chelsea’s lapse was encouraging and …

Untold creates the agenda and the papers follow. Mystifying eh?

By Tony Attwood We screwed up today, and I have a team from GCHQ looking into it.  Dominic’s preview was written and ready to go, and it didn’t go.  But since Untold always goes where others don’t it is published below.  Sorry dom. But, here’s the thing.  After four episodes of the new major series …

What’s the Bavarian for ‘Més qué un club’ ?? | Bayern Away Preview

D-Sanchez-Cabello Bayern Munich are a behemoth and behemoths are rarely attractive. They are the leading club in the largest market in Europe. Ally that to the distinct national feeling in Bavaria and you start to see why Bayern are able to bludgeon their competitors each year. I’m torn on the Bundesliga, there are bits of …

Arsenal – Everton | FA Cup Preview

An early Kick Off today between two teams in a bad pocket of form. Indeed the form table has it down as a clash between 11th and 14th. For whatever reasons, lunchtime matches haven’t been a strong point – the results in Liverpool and Manchester springing to mind. Last time we played Everton they seized …
