England

Times have got­ten so bad for Eng­land and the Foot­ball Asso­ci­a­tion that they’ve launched a new Eng­land home jer­sey that fea­tures, for the first time, spon­sor­ship on the front of the shirt. The Foot­ball Asso­ci­a­tion is in such deep finan­cial trou­ble that they had to resort to not one, but three dif­fer­ent spon­sors to buy space […]

Referee!!

by Stuart Webb on June 28, 2010 · 1 comment

England’s short stay in South Africa came to an embar­rass­ing end yes­ter­day after­noon. They did not have to endure the heartache of an exit via penal­ties, but they did get their inevitable con­tro­ver­sial moment to hide behind, a moment that will no doubt be used to try and deflect the fact that Eng­land have been […]

It has been […]

In the lead up to the make or break tie for Eng­land against Slove­nia, the gen­eral con­sen­sus shared was that England’s World Cup campaign/dream was on the verge of col­lapse if not already over. A series of unfor­tu­nate events had seen Eng­land only acquire two points from their open­ing two group games and con­fi­dence in […]

The World Cup, So Far, So So

by Stuart Webb on June 16, 2010 · 0 comments

When Siphiwe Tsha­bal­ala glo­ri­ously fired home the first goal of the World Cup it looked like we had a tour­na­ment on our hands. Unfor­tu­nately, France and Uruguay took to the pitch straight after­wards and in a heart­beat the pre­vi­ous match was a dis­tant mem­ory, I can’t remem­ber the last time I watched a game that […]
