Well it’s all a story of keepers at the moment and, like London buses, you wait all summer then five come along all at once. Will Green join QPR or Southampton? Will Kenny move to Leeds? Can Leeds afford Kenny even on a free? What about Ben Foster? Birmingham can’t…

How negative were England in the second half and how second rate were we made to look? True France created very few chances and had Milner shown more composure after rounding the keeper, we could have won the game, but we clearly played for the draw and …

And there we all were thinking Leeds were struggling without two black puddings to their name. What nonsense! With Captain Snakeinthegrass muttering discontent, White of the Whites planning to defect, and transfer targets being missed left, right and centre because Master Bates has refused to stump …

The first one is on his way. It’s probably Jussi, confirming that Green is indeed exiting, but if we are picking up a good keeper – better than Green in my opinion – for nothing, then that is nothing to gripe about. And Allardyce will be happy. That’s…

Agger apart, the Premiership has been embarrassed by the performances of its “stars” in the competition so far. Today Balotelli and Torres were laughable in front of goal. God knows what Balotelli thought he was doing when, clear in the box, …

Rob Green is considering turning down the host of top clubs queueing to sign him and opt for a move to West Brom instead. England’s 666 isn’t interested in Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea or Man Utd apparently – and given he is such a fantastic keeper the big…

What is it with the Portuguese? Why are they so damn cowardly? With Ronaldo, Muereles and Nani in the team, they should be playing opponents off the park, forcing them on to the back foot and attacking them relentless. Instead, they set up negatively and contain, hoping to score on …

How crazy is football? Lars Jacobsen looked ordinary at West Ham and nobody shed any tears when he departed – even though it meant Faubert provided cover at right back – but this afternoon, he stood medium tall for Denmark in an epic defensive performance against the …

From 1996. Selected from the archive not least because Motson says on the commentary, “The personal changes but the style of play doesn’t!” and adds, “You never get a bad game at West Ham”. Are you listening Allardyce? Motson also …

Don’t get too excited by the headline for a number of reasons: 1) It’s a story from the Mail. 2) I’m not convinced Yossi is an Allardyce type of player. Slight, skilful, reluctant to put in a defensive shift, none of which …

According to Joey himself on Twatter, he was “sucker punched” outside a Liverpool gay bar. Now I watch “Chatty Man” so I’ve heard all about fisting but this is a new one on me and seems a very inappropriate reaction to somebody being so obliging!
