It was FA Cup Quarter Final time this weekend, with 8 teams battling for a place in the semi-final. Not really any major scalps were had, as Stoke were not able to dispatch Chelsea like they did with Arsenal and Man City, Villa came from behind to beat Reading, Tottenham and Fulham ground out a scoreless draw and Portsmouth put their financial problems behind them to go on a cup run …
Due to the mix of Premier League and FA Cup ties going on this weekend I decided to compile my XI of the Premier League players participating. Let’s see if you agree?!
Goal Keeper
Heurelho Gomes – Bombarded by Fulham but kept a clean sheet and set up a replay at White Hart Lane.
Defenders
Leighton Baines – After impressing for England, Baines showed exactly why he was selected by Fabio Capello. Another display of energy, bombing up and down the left flank like …
This in then from our roving Chelsea reporter in the time expired Hush Puppies and the Next To Nothing trousers. Walking back towards the Durrell Arms public house, our man spots Mr. John Terry is spotted driving up the Fulham Road in his Range Rover.
The Chelsea Supremo, instead of just driving past and ignoring it, pulls his car up to a halt, winds down his electric windows and starts trading four letter word insults with all an sundry, …
Roberto Mancini’s best friend at Manchester City seems to be that scarf he is always seen to be wearing on match days. Taking over Mark Hughes, in the circumstances in which he did, was always going to be a tough act to follow. Hughes’ sacking was one of typical style from rich owners- ruthless.
It did seem at the time that Mark Hughes was certainly a favourite of a healthy percentage of …
Chelsea dynamo Joe Cole has apparently recieved a knock back from Stamford Bridge on the old wage front. £100,000 a week? Even JT’s hush money bill isn’t as high and he was’playing’ every week.
Tottenham are the continual name in the frame for the diminuative dad, but how does that stack up? The wage cap at White Hart Lane is a notorious deal breaker.
The only glimmer of hope is that the player is allowed to walk …
'She's football crazy, shes football mad.'
Chelsea and England star Joe Cole’s Mrs Carly Zucker could be described as something of a sweetheart amongst the Stamford Bridge faithful.
The 25 yr old from London is a fitness trainer and part time model. Having married the Chelsea star Joe Cole in the summer the couple are about to have a baby girl due this month. Having told the world through the medium of ‘Hello’ …
Rooney + 1 but who? Had I been asked that question yesterday I would have said Emile Heskey without a second thought. Having witnessed the performance of the England team last night, it seems Heskey will have a job on his hands if he is to keep the number 9 shirt that has been his throughout the World Cup qualifying campaign.
Peter Crouch was the star of a slow starting show at …
In the raucous, intimidating caldron that isn’t Wembley Stadium, England lined up for this World Cup warm up friendly with Egypt in their brand new trendy away kit – the 435th to be inspired by 1966.
Possibly daunted by such grandiose allusions, England’s players spent much of the first half passing it to the team in white, which unfortunately for once, wasn’t them.
After the expected half hearted booing of John ‘Big Man’ …
Chelsea Captain John Terry’s charm offensive was never going to be straightforward. But then I guess moral punchbag’s don’t generally tend to have an easy time of it.
The Chelsea hero’s fall from grace has in been on going for some time. Wizzing in pint pots, parking in disabled spaces, having your relatives revealed as shop lifters and drug dealers can do that to man.
But the Chelsea stalwart has not only lost his armband, snubbed on live telly but last night was told by …
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has had a lot of free time on his hands since his move to Stamford Bridge after being dumped by his wife and his mistress.

Carlo Ancelotti was taken in as ‘one of the lads’ in the dressing room upon his summer move to Chelsea after his reported 4 year affair with Romanian PR women Marina Cretu. The whole time he …
