“I don’t hold water with that theory.” – Ron Greenwood
Posted in Weekend Open Thread, tagged Gareth Bale, Sunday open thread, Tottenham Hotspur on January 30, 2011 | 6 Comments »
It’s obvious to anyone watching Spurs this season that it has been a campaign filled with revelations. Spurs have an amazing attack when healthy. Rafa Van der Vaart was a ridiculously great buy at £8 million. Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate’s careers are probably over, if not on heavy life support. Luka Modric is a [...]

Two Yellows is on sabbatical today so I’m throwing up your Saturday open thread! Guess what I’m going to talk about! Well I’m not going to do a whole post on the Torres situation (his quote at the top, obviously), I believe both Mags or myself (or both!) will have full length ones coming out [...]

Sport-Club Rot-Weiß Oberhausen e.V. v. Fußball-Club Ingolstadt 04 e.V. (Friday) I gave the American trio at Inglostadt a bit of stick last week for signing on with a club that appears destined to be demoted to regional football next year, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to ignore their collective exploits.

On Blackpool and Bonuses
Posted in English Premier League, tagged Blackpool, Charlie Adam, Ian Holloway on January 27, 2011 | 9 Comments »
The back-and-forth between Liverpool and Blackpool over exactly how much a player like Charlie Adam should cost has been fairly interesting. Liverpool are looking at Adam as a bargain buy; he isn’t a big name (an Eden Hazard or an Arda Turan) that they’d expect to pay a lot for, and their bids to Blackpool [...]
