BRENTFORD vs. Colchester Player Ratings
WE WAS ROBBED!
Richard Lee - Another solid performance from the skipper, made two or three superb saves, never looked threatened or nervous, one miscued clearance a minor blip on his performance, could do nothing about the free-kick.
Karleigh Osborne - Continues to look like a defensive general, marshalled the big strikers well, had two wild efforts on goal, solid.
Miguel Llera - An...

Walsall vs. BRENTFORD Player Ratings
Richard Lee - A cool, calm and collected performance from the keeper, made two amazing saves, kicking was immaculate, only needed the post to deny Walsall on one occasion.
Karleigh Osborne - A good overall game, had a few ‘Karleigh Moments’ in the first half, including a nervous backpass, defended admirably in the second half.
Marcel Eger - Some solid defending from the big German,...

BRENTFORD vs. Tranmere Rovers Player Ratings
Richard Lee - Could do nothing about the goals, saw more of the ball than the strikers, made two or three important saves, did not look convincing playing the ball out of defence, wasted too much time on the goal kicks.
Kevin O’Connor - An uncharacteristic performance, lacked ambition in attack and solidarity in defence, was very vocal but did not lead by example, was beaten too easily by...

Fenerbache have been accused of match fixing and asked to be relegated. Samuel Eto’o is earning £300,000 a week. The 2022 World Cup is being held in a country where it is too hot to play football. England are ahead of Brazil in the world football rankings.
Michel Platini has said “the game has gone pear-shaped.” He has spoken ‘The Bleeding Obvious.’

Anonymous asked: I think Ronaldo makes that money because he basically is better than every other footballer on Earth other then Messi. I mean he does have a extreme goal to game ratio and broke alot of la liga records like most goals ever scored in a year only in his second year. He also is the best player ever to play in the Premier League too.
heyyyyoungblood asked: I saw your League predictions, and you put Stevenage as 8th. Not even our own fans are that optimistic (; we're looking for 20th or above!
Still, I won't complain if we do finish 8th!

You know you are a British Sportsperson when…
You come second in a tournament and it is regarded as an achievement.
Your best efforts are not quite as good as a half-arsed effort from your opponent.
One good performance in a tournament puts your hometown on the news.
You are draped in a union jack.
Your performance is described as ‘brave’ and ‘plucky’, not...

This is what footballers are wearing on their feet...
Football is becoming more about what happens off the pitch than on it. Many modern footballers take fashion very seriously and what they wear on the pitch can give off many impressions. So why do the boot companies provide them with these: Whoever thought it was a good idea for Adidas to put this into mass production should be sacked. Look at it! It looks like a poorly looked-after pond. The...

C'mon Rafa, let the opponent hit at least one...
Guess who won the French Open for the sixth time. We should have seen it coming.
It was going to take something immense to beat him, and if Federer isn’t that something immense, then we should just accept that Nadal is too good for anybody else on clay.
What is even more amazing is that he has only ever lost one match at the French Open, against Robin Soderling in 2009. He claimed his...

Djokovic the Serbian Steamroller
I used to dislike Djokovic, I admit it. It was for the following reasons:
He whinged at every opportunity.
He gave up whenever he felt a little bit ill.
He didn’t really have any charisma.
He had a casual, slightly arrogant style of play.
He had a boring haircut.
Now, I’ve warmed to him. I think this change of heart has occured ever since I saw him win a match live, during the...

It's a Tough Life being a Goalkeeper
The Goalkeeper: the position on the pitch we love to hate. They are the last line of defence and are often the difference between 3 points and no points. Some keepers love that situation and relish the pressure, others simply perish. One thing that is clear, it is a tough life being the goalkeeper.
Heurelho Gomes often makes mistakes that cost his Tottenham side points.
The goalkeeper is the...

Top Trumps and the Masters
Some people, mostly football and rugby fans, do not class Golf or Snooker as sports. They say they are to slow, too sedentary and they do not have the thrill of much faster sports. They are therefore ignorant of what the two have to offer.
Snooker has made the headlines recently with the amazing breakthrough of Judd Trump.
First and foremost, he’s got the stand-out-from-the-crowd name....
