Di Matteo’s last hurrah

Di Matteo’s last hurrahWithout doubt, the calmest man in the maelstrom stew of nerves and emotions on the touchline of the Allianz Arena tomorrow night will be Roberto Di Matteo. That slight smile that gives him the appearance of a Bond villain will … Continue reading →

The best of a bad bunch?

The best of a bad bunch?In Sweden they must barely be able to contain the laughter. In France, you imagine the footage of John Terry stumbling around the Anfield pitch like a drunk on a wedding dancefloor is playing on a continuous loop on Laurent … Continue reading →

Has success come at a cost for City?

Has success come at a cost for City?With the kind of timing publishers must dread, this month sees the release of Colin Shindler's latest memoir. The author sold an awful lot of copies of his earlier tale, "Manchester United Ruined My Life", which was released well over … Continue reading →

Blame Venky’s, not the fans

Blame Venky’s, not the fansAn odd consensus emerged on Monday night after Blackburn were relegated to the Championship. On phone-ins and chat rooms, in newspaper columns and social media one opinion was raised above the others: it was all the fans' fault. Not getting … Continue reading →

Hodgson already up against it

Hodgson already up against itThree days into the job and Roy Hodgson must already wonder what it is he has let himself in for. There he was much admired at the Hawthorns, doing a sterling job turning West Bromwich into Premier League regulars, quietly … Continue reading →

This is just the start for City
You don't have to see life through Niall Quinn's sky-blue-tinted disco specs to appreciate this truth about last night's Premier League showdown: the better team won. And, as a result, the best team in the country is heading for the … Continue reading →

Munich final braced for corporate takeover
So much for assumption. So much for fixes. So much for hot balls. From the moment the draw for the quarter and semi-finals of the Champions League was made it appeared certain that Barcelona would play Real Madrid in the … Continue reading →

Chelsea played the game of their lives
What a night. What an astonishing result. At the Camp Nou Chelsea gave final vindication to those who have long preached that what matters in football is not possession of the ball, it is sticking it in the net. Chelsea … Continue reading →

Big weeks ahead for pass masters
Recently, I had the chance to interview Owen Coyle. So I asked the pretty obvious question: you may talk about trying to play an aesthetically-pleasing passing game, but doesn't the reality of staring relegation in the face compel a manager … Continue reading →

Experience is Chelsea’s only hope
Andriy Shevchenko put it pretty succinctly: tonight is the game that could turn our perceptions of the sort of season Chelsea have had on their head. The Ukrainian, who hardly set west London alight during his two years at Stamford … Continue reading →

Only Van Persie spoils Scholes party
In London the Ken and Boris show enters its final furlong, awash with candidate's tears and mutual accusations of tax dodging. So close is the vote likely to be for the next mayor, pundits are loath to make a prediction … Continue reading →

Newcastle revel in bizarre renaissance
I was talking to a Newcastle United supporter yesterday. The interesting thing was — like every other Newcastle fan I have ever met — he did not conform remotely to type. Just as all Manchester United fans are said to … Continue reading →

We all love Mario (except City)
I think Mario Balotelli is great. He is a huge addition to the public landscape. Apparently on a one-man mission to cheer us all up, everything about him is hilarious, from his Buster Keaton-faced goal celebrations through his choice of … Continue reading →

Liverpool must back flawed Dalglish
Liverpool have provided over the years far more media pundits than any other club. From Jim Beglin and Jan Molby, through Mark Lawrenson to the king of them all, Alan Hansen, ex-Liverpool players stalk the studios and newspaper columns of … Continue reading →

Chelsea have no chance in Europe
A couple of intriguing ideas surfaced this week. First was the extraordinary prospect that David Moyes, the man who has made a career from being the outsider, who has long chippily relished the thought that he is unconsidered, unloved and … Continue reading →

Hoddle for England? How has it come to this?
Glenn Hoddle has never been quite as sure with words as he was with a football. His syntax is at times as tortured, over-wrought and convoluted as his passes were concise, precise and beautifully executed. And he was in full … Continue reading →

Struggling Spurs on shaky ground
Here are a couple of statistics that shed fresh light on Tottenham's season. Arsenal — a club pitched deep into apparently terminal crisis but two months ago - have scored five more Premier League goals than they have. In the last … Continue reading →

Vieira wrong over Scholes jibe
Patrick Vieira is one of football's good guys. Intelligent, decent, thoughtful, like many a modern player of African descent, his philanthropic instincts are substantial. Sure, he was not averse to administering the odd kick — some less sly than others … Continue reading →

UEFA set course for Clasico final
Those balls must have been nice and warm in UEFA headquarters this morning, hot enough to keep the entire town of Nyon toasty in the glow. For the blazers, the draw for the Champions League latter stages could not have … Continue reading →

Where would Everton be without Moyes?
It wasn't the greatest way to mark an anniversary. Ten years in charge at Everton and David Moyes saw his team shredded in the game that matters most to his constituents. Losing 3-0 at Anfield to a Liverpool struggling for … Continue reading →

Athletic’s blueprint for beating United
Dave Woods, commentating on Channel 5 got it spot on: Old Trafford, he said, used to be a fortress on European nights, now it has become a gift shop. For the third time this season, Manchester United were embarrassed at … Continue reading →

Lack of depth stops Arsenal hitting heights
When the ball landed at Robin van Persie's feet a yard from goal and with the Milan keeper lying prone on the turf, suddenly at the Emirates last night the impossible seemed about to happen. This was Robin van Persie … Continue reading →

FA delay not helping Harry
If, as everyone seems to think it will, the FA is bound to appoint Harry Redknapp as the next England manager, you wonder why it hasn't done so already. It is, so we are led to believe, an open secret … Continue reading →

Pearce’s passion won’t solve deeper problems
There won't be a shortage of pride this evening at Wembley. Leading out the England team as coach, Stuart Pearce will almost be bursting with patriotism and fervour. A man of uncomplicated approach and passion, for him this will undoubtedly … Continue reading →

Psycho not ready for England role
By an odd quirk, after they had both been largely messed up by previous expensive, high-profile incumbents, England's two most significant international teams are under the temporary control of blokes called Stuart. Though a shared Christian name is where any … Continue reading →

Bravery set to backfire on AVB
It was, according to Graeme Souness, speaking ahead of last night's Champions League game in Naples, the shortest suicide note in football history. Just 11 words long, consisting of the names on Andre Villas-Boas's team sheet. It certainly looked a … Continue reading →

Arsenal going nowhere fast
That was without question the most chastening week of Arsene Wenger's tenure at Arsenal. There have been low-points before — eight of them at Old Trafford for instance. But what the drubbing in Milan told us about where his Arsenal … Continue reading →

Will Tevez be the new Rodney Marsh?
The news that Paul Scholes is to be offered a new contract by Manchester United, giving him at least another season at the club, will have come as no surprise to anyone who has seen him play since his unexpected … Continue reading →

Redknapp heads FA’s one-man shortlist
Even as David Bernstein was setting out the preconditions for the next England manager — preferably English, perhaps British but certainly not another pricey continental buy-in — so his shortlist of potential candidates was shortening. First Martin O'Neill, then Alan … Continue reading →

Suarez row deepens bitter divide
The fall-out from a few ill-spoken words continues. At Wembley, the England coach and FA chairman sit down together to discuss whether the coach is in breach of his contract. Why might he be? Because he spoke out about the … Continue reading →

Terry for Euro 2012? Capello must decide
It is not something we often can do, but hey, let's praise the FA. We should applaud Lord Bernstein and the game's governing body for its swift and decisive action in removing the England captaincy from John Terry pending his trial. … Continue reading →

Blame Torres for quiet January
The bloke who chained himself to the goalposts at Everton is something of a serial protester. On Tuesday at Goodison, he unleashed his latest protest about Ryanair's employment policy. Seemingly they charge you extra just to work there. Maybe next … Continue reading →

Time for indirect action
Watching Phil Dowd ease Liverpool's passage into the Carling Cup final at Anfield on Wednesday night, a refereeing friend of mine asked this: isn't it about time we restored the indirect free kick? Under the current rules Dowd had no … Continue reading →

Feral fans risk another Cantona attack
Seventeen years ago this evening, I was at Selhurst Park to watch Crystal Palace play Manchester United. It wasn't a particularly distinguished game. Andrew Cole had just arrived in Manchester from Newcastle, a signing that somewhat undermines Alex Ferguson's insistence … Continue reading →

Silly money on offer at QPR
Queens Park Rangers felt moved to clarify yesterday that they were not paying Manchester City £4 million for Nedum Onouha but something closer to £2.5 million. And, now that he is to wear the hooped shirt, the player will not … Continue reading →

Career coaches changing the game
Martin O'Neill's return at Sunderland has raised the number of managers of Premier League clubs who have won European Cup medals as players to three. O'Neill won his with Nottingham Forest, Kenny Dalglish picked up his with Liverpool. The third … Continue reading →

Giggs straddles two eras of English football
At Craven Cottage on Wednesday night Ryan Giggs scored a goal. It was the third Manchester United strike in a five-goal rout, so in normal circumstances it would have been of no note. Except it was the veteran winger's first … Continue reading →

January’s bargain basement XI
Now that's over, we can look forward. And we know what comes in January... A lot of moaning and whining by the managers of top clubs that the mid-winter transfer window offers no value for money; that the best players … Continue reading →

Old boys’ return papering over cracks
There was a brief flurry of excitement among Tottenham fans this week that, in line with the growing trend among their rivals, Glenn Hoddle might be about to make a comeback for their team. Unfortunately, there proved to be no … Continue reading →
