Football For you
"It's our beautiful game; live it, love it and don't ever lose sight of what makes it special" +
Champions League trophy No final flourish
"This was a final set up for AC Milan to redeem themselves and Liverpool to play the gallant losers, which both sides did admirably. It was also set up for UEFA to be hoisted by their own petard" +
Carlos Tevez
Summer of discontent
"If justice is done it will result in West Ham being relegated" +
Sir Alex Ferguson
Sweet success
"When it comes to combining style with substance, Manchester United have cornered the market this season" +
Joey Barton
Painfully honest
"Barton’s open and honest appraisal of City’s season is motivated by a cross between bravery and stupidity that is usually identified as passion" +
David Dein
Thanks, but no thanks
"Dein's gamble was to side with a man who offers Arsenal the riches to compete with the best at home and abroad, but for once a football club has decided that there is more to life than money, for now at least" +
England fans
England's twelfth man - now playing for the opposition
"Not for a long, long time have the England management and players needed their twelfth man more than they will do over the coming months, and if they are going to make Euro 2008 they will have to show the same sort of teamwork off the pitch that they also need to show on it" +
Thierry Henry Burned-out, but whose fault is it?
"It seems that many of the very best footballers the world has to offer are in such demand they are played and played until they can play no more" +
Champions League trophy Kept apart... for now
"With the right amount of application, and luck, it could be a glorious end to this European season for a Premiership club" +
Lille v Manchester United Walking the walk, talking the talk
"The terrifying, and very nearly devastating, experiences of Manchester United fans in France surely puts the controversial events of the game itself into perspective, or so you would think" +
Gary Neville How do you like life in Gary's world?
"Neville has aligned himself with football fans countrywide, if not worldwide, with his acknowledgement that footballers don't need agents" +
George Gillett and Tom Hicks It started with the Blues
"The Liverpool takeover is a further example of the capitalist greed that is superseding the love of the game" +
Stuart Pearce Making a point
"Let’s just call the England job, at senior or Under-21 level, what it is: part-time" +
Lucas Neill Lucas’ lucre
"If Neill’s ego needed massaging as he chose which club to leave Blackburn for, his bank balance must have required significant augmentation before he felt appreciated enough to join West Ham" +
Roman Abramovich and Jose Mourinho A parting of the ways?
"Even from the beginning of this owner-manager relationship, critics pointed to the pitfalls of their union and then just waited for the day when the cracks began to appear between these two big personalities" +
David Beckham From the Galacticos to
the Galaxy
"In almost perfect symmetry, the player who has, more than any other, given football a Hollywood glow will now go and live the LA life in all its image-obsessed reality" +
FA Cup THE weekend of the year
"Anticipated by the country, enjoyed the world over: the original and still the best - the FA Cup third round" +
2006
Out with the old…
"Maybe, by this time next year, some of football’s problems of 2006 might be solutions of 2007" +
Champions League trophy
Foes and heavyweights
"The Blues and the Reds couldn’t help but grab the limelight again" +
Cristiano Ronaldo
It's not clever
"That age old question of why go down when you can stay on your feet and play is one that, should it be put to Cristiano Ronaldo, would probably draw one of those knowing grins of his" +
Championship trophy
Hot potato
"This season’s Championship is one of the most open in years, and hopefully it will continue to be an absorbing contest right into next May" +
Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho
Too much… or not enough
"For Wenger to moan about fixtures now is all the more ironic when you consider that in just three weeks time the infamous Christmas programme kicks in, with more stuffed into it than a turkey on the 25th" +
Manchester United v Chelsea
Title: Undecided
"The destination of the Premiership title remains undecided, which is exactly how it should be in November" +
Wayne Bridge
Being Blue
"Will England fans think more of Bridge for his commitment to Chelsea? Probably not. Will he care? It’s doubtful. Should he? It is a brave person who bets against wiser ones" +
Les Reed
We've not been expecting you
"Replacing Curbishley was a devil of a task for Dowie to undertake; in comparison taking Dowie’s place looks like an opportunity for Les Reed to make a name for himself" +
Coins
Throw them out
"Never discount the propensity some individuals have for stooping lower than you would imagine possible" +
Glenn Roeder
Cup to go?
"Morale boosting cup victories will count for very little if Newcastle’s league campaign, the lifeblood of any football club, continues to flounder. After all, relegation would rather take the gloss off of trophy celebrations" +
Graham Poll Graham Poll -
A national obsession
"He loves being centre stage, and it is this image of a man positively revelling in his power that is the distasteful side of Poll" +
