Month: August 2007

A nice merry-go-round we have here.

Brought to you by the Barcelona blog. The team responded to the criticism by turning in a fine display to beat a lucklustre Inter Milan 5-0 in tonight’s Joan Gamper….

What is it with Richard Scudamore, the Premier League’s (PL) chief executive, that makes journalists from the Mail to the Guardian so disparaging? “He does talk a lot of rubbish”…

A quick look at SL fantasy football and after the first month or so, I think it’s clear to say that Taron, a United fan who picked his team from…

2 more days to go before the transfer window screeches to a welcome halt and then we can all get back to cursing injuries and inept referees.

A transfer move that has all the trappings of a real move (down to the ‘inside news’ that both players have agreed to the swap) but the ridiculousness of randomly…

Inter Milan’s Adriano has had a tough time of late – injuries, disciplinary problems and a falling out with his manager means that he’s fast on the exit list for…

The Beeb reports that West Ham have made a 5m bid for Reading left-back Nicky Shorey. Shorey’s a good player and West Ham will improve thanks to him, but I…

The Beeb reports that Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp is willing to let Nugent go in order to raise funds for a bid for Nicolas Anelka. In my view it could…

4 days left to go in August and hopefully we can keep you updated through all the madness.

The biggest news in the transfer circles is the surprising rumour that Chelsea are after Barcelona’s Ronaldinho. The rumour seems to be another product of the Spanish media, and it…

It’s back to familiar terms for Manchester United this weekend as they claimed their first win of the new season, albeit a nervy (and controversial) one against Tottenham. The rest…

Portsmouth’s new away shirt has been out for a while and is (unsurprisingly) white and blue with some gold trimmings and splashes.

Nicholas Anelka’s Bolton have released their new away kit for the 2007-08 campaign and if they are worthy of the new kit, they will avoid relegation, because RbK have made…

The Chelsea 07/08 3rd kit launches on 30th August 07 and unlike the electric yellow away kit (which got a lot of unfair criticism), this one is more traditional.

Here are the AC Milan home, away and 3rd kits for the 2007/2008 season.

Newcastle United’s 3rd kit for 2007/2008 will go on sale on Wednesday, 29th August.

Manchester United’s 07/08 away kit kicks ass. I’ve been wanting a black Manchester United kit for ages now and this one, even with that red stripe down the back, looks…

Paul Robinson’s crucifixation has started again, and combined with ‘that goal’ in the Croatia game as well as the short term memory of the press hacks calling for the recall…

A quick look at the transfer rumours doing the rounds – as the 31st August deadline approaches, things just keep getting crazier and crazier.

Welcome to another edition of our Soccerlens Fantasy Football news update, and the headline just about says it all – if you’re sucking (or more appropriately, if your team is…

Get all the updates on the latest England-Germany match here. If England continue their progress at this rate, we will lose in Russia and crash out of the Euro 2008…

Congratulations to Newcastle United blogger (and fast turning into an icon) Ed Harrison – this morning nufcblog.com passed 1 million hits, and today it celebrates it’s 4-month anniversary. In recognition…

So the FA are thinking about the need for goal-line technology after the goal that denied Fulham an equaliser against Middlesbrough on Saturday, which sort of resonated profoundly back to…

Yesterday there were strong rumours coming out of Iceland that Mike Ashley was ready to make a profit on his investment in Newcastle United and wanted to sell the club…

The move to keep Rob Styles and Ian Gosling (the assistant referee who failed to spot Fulham’s equalizer against Middlesbrough) out of the next weekend’s fixtures is a damage-limitation exercise…
