Posted on January 28, 2013 by

FA Cup weekend, and a good few “upsets”. Here’s the thing about the “magic of the FA Cup”. It doesn’t exist. As a supporter of a “Big team”, I’m not really open to such a concept to begin with, but … Continue reading →

Posted on January 21, 2013 by

Due to prior commitments, I was unable to see the Spurs game live, so my thoughts will be brief. Using Phil Jones as an extra defender and a link to the midfield was an inspired choice to shut down the … Continue reading →

Football Round-Up (EPL Week 22)

Posted on January 14, 2013 by

One might well wonder how you “kill” a rivalry. Manchester United and Liverpool have long had one of the most storied duels of any two clubs in football. But the game I witnessed yesterday was not a match between titans, … Continue reading →

Football Round-Up (EPL Weeks 17-21 And Some Other Stuff)

Posted on January 7, 2013 by

Five games have been played by most clubs since my last football-related update, so I might just stick to more general analysis. Manchester United are unbeaten in that time, despite their best efforts on occasion. Games against Swansea, Newcastle, West … Continue reading →

Football Round-Up (EPL Week 16)

Posted on December 17, 2012 by

United had an easy enough time of it on Saturday, easily getting beyond a very lacklustre and disappointing Sunderland side. I had heard of, but not seen directly, Sunderland’s woes this season, and I am now somewhat surprised that Martin … Continue reading →

Posted on November 19, 2012 by

Due to some laptop repairs that I had to take care of, last week’s round-up had to be deferred. For Limerick, it has been an interesting few weeks. The rumours abound that the club will be playing in Thomond Park … Continue reading →
