The latest Premiership, Championship, European and International football transfer rumours. The Transfer Tavern - Where football transfer rumours fly or die!
Gary Neville is one of the most successful English players of all time; he has won 8 league titles, 3 FA Cups and 2 European Cups. He also has 85 full international caps to his name and has shown loyalty to his club by staying with Manchester United for the duration of his career. He should really be a national hero but he just isn’t. He is one of …
Craig Bellamy is one of the best players Wales have produced in their history, an almost deadly striker who possesses great pace but has a personality most disagreeable. Over his career run-ins with Bellamy have become part of the deal when in the vicinity with the Welsh virtuoso, so much so, I wonder who would even want to share a dressing …
Pascal Chimbonda is a relatively insignificant player in the Premier League. The French defender made his way into the Premiership after joining the newly promoted Wigan Athletic and since then Chimbonda has represented a number of clubs in and around mid-table obscurity. On the surface it looks like quiet progress and that there should be no reason whatsoever for someone to take a disliking to him, yet for some reason, Pascal Chimbonda …
In theory Real Madrid defender Pepe shouldn’t be a hateable player – he’s one of those players who’s shown dedication in training to the point that he will play anywhere that his manager asks him to. He’s worked his way up the ranks of teams in Europe after bravely leaving Brazil as a teenager and made his name, now proving a defender for one of the top teams in the world and …
Joey Barton gets the fist of fury this week, with video evidence suggesting that there really isn’t anyone more deserving of a good old cheek-slapping. Can you think of anyone worse than this particle of pond-life?
Materazzi: Head-butts welcome: So far we have had, Chelsea’s Drogbar, Arsenal’s Arshaving (although it seems most people like him), Diouf of Balckburn (it seems most people don’t like him), Manchester City’s Bellamy and now it is the turn of Italian International Materazzi. Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham have all been let off the hook so far…. Who gets your vote?
It’s pretty well established that Marco Materazzi is an irritant. When …
Big Sam might like him but do you: Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester united, Manchester city, Everton, Tottenham, Blackburn, Bolton Fans what is your verdict?
Before I get started on ‘Mr. Hack Up A Greenie And Spit It At A Fan’, I would like to introduce the wonderfully accurate ‘Lee Bowyer Smackablomator’, which will be used from now on in this series to grade a player’s smackability out …
Week 3: ‘A Face I’d Like To Smack’ is back Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, United, City Fans you decide should he be in the SMACK hall of shame?
If you are a fan of any team that has played Chelsea in the last five years, then you are most likely to have vented a torrent of expletives in the direction of today’s subject at some point.
In terms of players I’d like to hit, Andrei Arshavin is right up there.
To start with, he has the sort of arrogant swagger which is a pre-requisite of any player who wants to play for Arsenal (that, as well as being technically gifted, I must concede). However, he also made a bit of a tit of himself over the last 6 months by punting himself around to virtually …
If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing right, no matter what it is! In a look back at Footballs more controversial characters in the light of Craig Bellamy and Adebayor behaviour over the last few weeks we salute “Old Big ‘ead” and Cantona, who knew how to deal with unruly fans
So do the supporters of Manchester United, Manchester city, Nottingham Forest and L.A Galaxy all have reason to behave?
Slaps, smacks, Punches and kicks, who is top of thumps? Personally I love the passion in the game, we aren’t condoning violence but if you are going to do it make sure it counts.
Modern footballers just don’t know how to scrap with fans, when you compare against our leaders of yesteryear.
ROUND 1: If something is worth doing it is worth doing right! Brian Clough sorts out the hooligans and it all ends with a kiss… What class!
ROUND 2: Eric’s famous Ku Fu Kick!
ROUND3: Beckham… Well its just not the same is it!
ROUND 4: At least our Craig got a girly slap in and didn’t need to be held back.
I think the oldies take it by way of knockout, kick and slap…Wasn’t old football fun!
