Matches of the decade: Liverpool 3 – 3 Milan (2005)

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 06:02:57 -0600

Half-time analysis:
“I’m no footballing expert but it seems to me that the team in white are playing better than the team in red.”
“Liverpool are predictable even on the biggest occasions. I mean, who’d have thought Harry Kewell would go off injured when they went a goal down? Eh? All we need now is Stephen Gerrard [...]

(Worst) matches of the decade: Juventus 0 – 0 A C Milan (2003)

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 06:24:35 -0600

The 2003 Champions League Final was a shocker, contested by two Italian teams in the shape of Juventus and Milan, making history as the first time that two clubs from Italy had faced each other in the final. It was also the second one-nation final, following the Real Madrid v Valencia match in 2000. Milan [...]

Matches of the decade: Real Madrid 2 – 1 Bayer Leverkusen (2002)

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 04:57:46 -0600

The absolute pinnacle of the Galactico experiment.
‘Real Madrid are back at Hampden Park – and against the champions of Germany for good measure. Forty-two years ago almost to the day, the monarchs of Madrid staged what remains, by general consent, the most sumptuous club performance in football history when they defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3 in [...]

Matches of the decade: Tottenham Hotspur 3 – 5 Manchester United (2001)

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 04:14:23 -0600

From 3-0 down at half time, the post-Real Madrid walloping Man Utd were experimenting with ‘eccentric’ tactical innovations but could still stick it up complacent opposition. Tottenham were probably only guilty of having been too good in the opening 45 minutes.
‘Comebacks always were more watchable than cakewalks and as comebacks go Manchester United’s feat [...]

When Man Utd were relegated (1973-74)

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 05:23:26 -0600

The post-Busby years at Man Utd were a lean time indeed for the soon to be fallen giants. Wilf McGuinness was promoted from reserve team coach to take Matt Busby’s place as manager. Despite having been associated with the club since joining them as a player in the mid 1950s, the boot-room promotion technique [...]

When Man Utd were crap: Southampton 6 – 3 Man Utd (1996)

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 05:25:49 -0600

It’s October, 1996 and I’m a long-haired scruffy student wondering how Man Utd would respond to a 5-0 mauling the previous week when Newcastle had battered them at St James Park.

Less than six months after beating Southampton 3-1 at the Dell during the infamous half time shirt change, when their awful grey kit was dumped [...]

How to look like a pillock on TV

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 06:18:55 -0600

Whatever you do, and this is more important than any acceptance speech, make sure that you don’t look like an idiot when someone else wins the goalie of the year award. Brazilian stopper Bruno Flamengo is clearly stunned as he loses the award he clearly expected to win.

James Beattie & Tony Pulis: Let the truth be out!

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 06:08:16 -0600

Not that I really care, but the PFA’s offer to help resolve the dispute between James Beattie and manager Tony Pulis has been declined for the bloody obvious reason that they would only hinder. Beattie’s future, meanwhile, remains unclear, with the club reluctant to discuss reports of an alleged dressing-room bust-up between the striker and [...]

World Cup classics: Romania 3 – 2 Argentina (USA 1994)

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 06:25:59 -0600

It seems strange now to think that Colombia went to USA ‘94 as one of the favourites to win the tournament, only to fall at the first hurdle after humbling Group A defeats against Romania and the United States, 3-1 and 2-1 respectively. The favourites tag came largely due to a 5-0 mauling of Argentina [...]
