This isn’t exactly news, but it’s good enough. Wayne Rooney recently attended a media event in London with the World Cup. After what probably seemed like an eternity standing and having his picture taken with thousands of people (who I’m very jealous of), there was a little Q&A session, from which some Arshavin-like nuggets sprang. [...]

After yesterday’s nice news, its a return to the norm today, as the FA have discovered that a bugged conversation between Fabio Capello and his players before England’s win against Egypt last week was offered to the press. The FA have warned the press that it would illegal for them to publish the material as [...]

This weekend in English football was lacking in all-Premiership clashes, being that it was an FA Cup weekend, so when Sunday rolled around Fabio Capello decided to venture to a stadium very few people dare to go. He went to the Reebok, home of the mighty Bolton Wanderers (which just so happens to be my [...]

I’ve always considered David James as one of the most reasonable and loyal players in the Premiership. I mean he offers a masterclass in ironing and bedmaking at a Portsmouth center for adults with learning disabilities.  This is a good guy. But he’s getting up there, he’ll be turning 40 this August, and has made [...]

Dissapointing news – the FA have confirmed there will be no official World Cup Song to soundtrack our summer this year. The official reasoning is that it would be “distracting” for the team. Yeah, a day off to film a music video would be a massive distraction.
Obviously this leaves plenty of room for a [...]

There have been talks about an English-Scotland friendly being bopped about for a while now, but yesterday the Scottish Football Association said:

“We are, as always, willing to engage in open dialogue with our English counterparts…Bring it on.”

The English FA are not keen on the idea of losing Fabio Capello any time soon. There have been rumours floating around that Capello might be bidding us arrivederci once World Cup 2010 is done, with Roy Hodgson touted as the man to fill his fine Italian shoes, but FA chief exec Ian Watmore says [...]

No time for a big “review of 2009″ type post. Except to say that 2009 was a brilliant year to be an England fan. Especially compared to 2008. Shudder.
I know this England team still has certain weaknesses (Glen Johnson’s knee injury has me worried about our options at rightback again) but I’m still thrilled that [...]

The FIFA end of year gala was last night in Zurich, with plenty of awards handed out to the cream of world football. Including: the FIFA/FIFPRO World XI, voted for by the world’s professional footballers:
Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), John Terry (Chelsea), Nemanja Vidic (Man Utd), Patrice Evra (Man Utd), Dani Alves (Barcelona), Xavi (Barcelona), [...]

… at least according to US based comedian turned talk show host George Lopez:

[via 101 Great Goals]
I’m not sure, which is more disturbing: That George Lopez just destroyed the stereotype of Mexican-Americans all being huge soccer fans, or that David Beckham – Lopez’ guest on Lopez Tonight – didn’t correct his mistake.
Wasn’t just a slip [...]
