Archive for March, 2010. Keep your nose out. Tom Hicks, Ken Bates, David Sullivan. Three instantly recognisable names; household not just for their status as owners or chairmen of prestigious football clubs, but for their reputation as outspoken characters in an increasingly outspoken field. One has their job down to a tee and the other two should, quite frankly, pipe down. Box of broken toys. Through the wind and rain…. 8221; The instantly recognisable chant that, this weekend, echoed around Fratton Par...

August | 2011 | Petchside Reporting
https://leepetchey.wordpress.com/2011/08
Archive for August, 2011. Injuria certa, hora incerta. Liverpool have always been a team for setting records. Their recently-broken league title haul was established in an two-decade era of dominance, while, in more recent memory, 2005 saw the European Cup claimed indefinitely via what can only be described as a two-hour sporting anomaly.

The grass isn’t always greener | Petchside Reporting
https://leepetchey.wordpress.com/2010/06/13/the-grass-isnt-always-greener
118 years of history, sold for scrap? Injuria certa, hora incerta. The grass isn’t always greener. While every man (and a handful of women) discuss the frailties of England’s performance against the United States in Saturday’s game, the focus will inevitably be on our opposition’s equaliser. Even suggested a tabloid-esque headline for the Sunday papers, though I’ve decided to use it in a far different manner than expected of the ‘red tops’. The media has taken a slightly cushioned approach to the lambast...

Keep your nose out. A common senseless rulebook. June 2004 saw English football fans slip into every journalists dream. A figure, more character than man, entered Stamford Bridge with a controversial personality, not seen since the days of Bill Shankly and Brian Clough, with a determination to etch his name into the record books alongside the two managerial legends. The Portuguese coach – who was unsatisfied in his own playing days – now rules over the delicious squad of Internazionale at the...His visit...

A common senseless rulebook | Petchside Reporting
https://leepetchey.wordpress.com/2010/04/02/a-common-senseless-rulebook
118 years of history, sold for scrap? A common senseless rulebook. Ryan Babel has expressed his deep feelings of guilt this morning, following his straight red just half-an-hour into his side’s tie with Benfica in the Europa League last night. Although England’s elite 20 and the Football League are subject to amateur mistakes, for the most part, they are governed with common sense. This is a factor that – due to its nature of intertwined cultures – plays no part as referees run the ...While Fernando Torr...

Newer posts ». Through the wind and rain…. Every football club in every league begins the season with a target; an aim. These change. Liverpool looked towards the new campaign last summer with an abundance of confidence, thrust into the squad and the support by an unprecedented push for the Premier League title, but the inevitable sale of Xabi Alonso and a defeat to Tottenham on the opening day in August saw the bright, early hopes masked behind a growing cloud of doubt. Filed under: FA Cup. No amount of...

Box of broken toys. Keep your nose out. Tom Hicks, Ken Bates, David Sullivan. Three instantly recognisable names; household not just for their status as owners or chairmen of prestigious football clubs, but for their reputation as outspoken characters in an increasingly outspoken field. One has their job down to a tee and the other two should, quite frankly, pipe down. West Ham are a club in turmoil both between the goals and in the offices. They were taken over in January by Sullivan and his busines...
