Premiership Preview 2007-2008

This is my insightful prediction into the final table of this season’s Premier League campaign. Everyone will disagree, but I don’t care!

Manchester United
Although their summer signings, Hargreaves aside, were low-key but big-money signings, it will be last year’s outfit that will prove to be the winners again. They managed without Heinze during his injury last [...]

Premiership Review

At the beginning of this season, I wrote my preview of how the Premiership the shape up by the end. Now that it’s finished, I have written a review.

Manchester United
I thought they’d finish 2nd
I said:
Much like last season, Manchester United will have been written off before the season has started. However, even despite a lack [...]

Dear Jonathan Woodgate

I am writing this letter in case Mr. Woodgate is going to desperate lengths to choose between Newcastle United and Middlesbrough to spend a season’s loan.
If you were to come to Newcastle United, you will be very much welcome. Glenn Roeder (who, by the way, is a very nice man) has been looking for a [...]

On The Radio

On the way back from Boundary Mill we had Century FM playing on the radio, and it was the 3 Legends show, featuring Malcolm MacDonald (Newcastle United), Eric Gates (Sunderland) and Bernie Slaven (Middlesbrough). I’m not sure which said the following (I think it was Bernie), which was read from an email sent by a [...]

Premiership Preview

Wow! Only a week to go until the start of the Premiership season. So here are my predictions!

Chelsea
Over the summer, Chelsea have strengthened their team a lot in the weaker areas, particularly attacking wise. With Shevchenko, Kalou and Ballack, Chelsea will score more goals this season than last. My concern for Chelsea is that they [...]

Twenty20 Paces

Why is it that any team I support loses? Newcastle United don’t win trophies, Middlesbrough lost the UEFA Cup Final, and England fail at the first moderately difficult hurdle. So no surprise that Essex went out (I plumped for them at first), and Nottinghamshire lost the final by four runs.
It was a thrilling day of [...]

What A Day!

The Premier League has given special dispensation to Newcastle United to permit the naming of Glenn Roeder as Newcastle United boss… It is expected that he will be formally appointed on Monday. This follows widespread support across the teams of the Premier League. So thanks to them. The LMA aren’t happy so screw them!
In return, [...]

Alone

Now, today has been a rather odd day (aren’t they all?). Firstly, Middlesbrough scored four goals again to progress to the UEFA Cup Final… well done… you bastards! I’m chuffed for you, but don’t start goading, it doesn’t suit you!
I also went to a presentation offered by the CPRS (Centre for Physical and Recreational Sport [...]
