Champions of England, Champions of Europe, they may be, but decent role models for the next generation of youngsters? Not on your nelly. On Saturday we had the full repertoire of everything you teach children not to do: Sulk; Cheat; Shout and scream when things don’t go their way; Moan, Whinge; and then hit the nearest [...]

Here’s how I scored the lads for yesterday’s momentous victory against United.
Schwarzer – 8/10
Kept United at bay with a string of excellent stops in the second half. Demonstrated he truly is world class, if we needed any reminding.
Paintsil – 7/10
A great display – and wonderful to see the big smile back on his face during [...]

Schwarzer – 5/10
Probably a bit unfair as he wasn’t afforded much protection, but yesterday was an occasion when we badly needed some of his Emirates-esque brilliance.
Konchesky – 4/10
Very weak. Just what was he thinking in the lead-up to United’s opener? Keeping your back turned against an unmarked [...]

What can you say about that? According to the Collins English Dictionary, the word ‘contest’ means: a formal match in which two or more people/teams compete and attempt to win. Yesterday’s match didn’t even come close to that definition.
It was more of a footballing masterclass by an unbelievably powerful Manchester United side, that played the [...]

If you’re in need of some audio stimulation ahead of today’s game at the Cottage it’s worth logging on to iTunes. As well as the legendary Viva el Fulham they’ve also got recorded interviews with Johnny Haynes, as well as a variety of other tracks. Needless to say I’ve already downloaded a batch for the [...]

This blog is becoming too nice to other clubs – and now even Chelsea are getting praise. Just what the hell is going on?
Regular readers may remember that Arsenal were very kind in responding to my request for a letter of good wishes to a neighbour going into hospital for a heart op.
This week I [...]
