Speaking for the first time since suffering a horrific leg break last week against Stoke, Aaron Ramsey insisted that he would come back better than ever. He then reserved special praise for Glen…

There’s a fair amount going on in and around Old Trafford these days. Fans trying to buy the club. Transfer rumors once again linking us Miguel Veloso. Yet another injury crisis. With all of that in mind, I’m turning to the international front. There could possibly be thirteen players involved in nine international friendlies, with [...]

Ryan Shawcross clattered into Aaron Ramsey, his leg shattered and the promising youth lay screaming on the ground. His Arsenal team mates screamed, vomited, and held their heads, leaving Stoke’s Glen…

Seldom are players swapped stirring so much controversy as happened when the top-2 from London exchanged the pro-libedo might of Ashley Cole for the grumpy, sulken skills of William Gallas. Both proven performers in search of fresher challanges.
Conor Valentine is back with views on his favourite defender. And mind you, he’s Irish! (Follow him on [...]

Basically something in comparison to Manchester United? I would like to a soccer game while I am in those countries.

A selection of programme covers from games played between England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Mainly British Home Championship games but some aren’t. Can you spot them?

I nailed the starting eleven in both Wolves and Liverpool the last match. It is beginning to be a habit for me to pick the right 22 starting. I did it against Burnley and Tottenham as well.
But it is much harder to know what team McCarthy will start with tonight at Molineux. It has [...]

So according to The Sun (via 606 and rehashed on various blogs before the lazy red top hacks decided to latch onto anything anti-Spurs post-City thrashing) sixteen first team players have ‘heaped shame on the club’ by having a secret party in Dublin be…

The controversial handball by Frenchman Thierry Henry is still causing shockwaves despite much of the sparks and debates calming down after FIFA ruled out any possibility of replaying the match. In addition, FIFA obviously refused to grant Ireland an extra spot in South Africa. Adding the Republic of Ireland to the World Cup draw [...]

The furore over Arsenal-legend Thierry Henry’s deliberate handball against Ireland will not be going away any time soon, but FIFA have ruled out any possibility of a replay, despite everyone asking them to bend the rules, including Henry.
The Republic manager Giovanni Trapattoni has derided FIFA for ignoring the calls for “fair play”.

With little moments of inspiration and woeful errors throughout the game, one might have thought this was a Championship game. On this evidence, a 2-2 draw between Liverpool and Manchester City was a fair result. Despite a combined spending of almost £400m, there was little evidence that either side has the quality that merits Champions League football next season.

Below is a list of teams with some quality players which will unfortunately miss the World Cup next summer:
Ireland- The Irish team may not be the most talented to miss out on qualification but certainly was unjustly eliminated by France. The Ireland squad is not as deep as other but has talented players such as [...]

The media tell us that Thierry Henry is the biggest villain since the Great Train Robbery, yet it is FIFA’s obstruction of progress that has sunk football into a mire of cheating and dishonesty.

Please, don’t blame Thierry Henry or the ref for what happened.

Long, long ago, when the world was still new, there was once an Arsenal blog, written by an American. It was updated daily with all the latest news, transfer stories, and thoughts on Arsenal. It was called The ArseNole. And now, The ArseNole is back…

Everybody is talking about it, so I thought I’d join in. It has been dubbed the Hand of god II. As if the plot of this sequel is similar to the first one.
Before we can go into further debate, I’m not denying that it wasn’t a handball. It will be very difficult to suggest otherwise. [...]
