According to this article by Jonathan Gottschall, fiction is good for you. Liverpool coach Kenny Dalglish apparently agrees, considering his choice of tactics and personnel in today’s woeful (to coin Alan Dymock) 2-1 loss to Chelsea in an FA Cup Final that, frankly, left a lot to be desired. King Kenny’s head must’ve been filled [...]

Unfortunately for Simon Borg, Major League Soccer’s ExtraTime Radio Editorial Staff member, he didn’t heed such advice. On Monday he felt the urge to wax misogynist about women [...]

This evening Newcastle United take on Chelsea while Tottenham Hotspur take on lowly Bolton. For the Toon, the Blues and Spurs it is a case of trying to nip in and snaffle fourth place in the English Premier League.

Embattled, inconsistent, fatigued, distracted: heavy is the crown for ‘King’ Kenny Dalglish.  Liverpool have only won three matches in their last thirteen English Premier League outings.

For all the bluster and build up the Manchester Derby was a game where Manchester United sat in and played some limp soccer. Never before had the champions looked so disinterested in a string of games leading to the English Premier League’s climax. Indeed, as Sir Alex Ferguson watched his team play 95 minutes without [...]

Yesterday Ally McCoist, the manager of Glasgow Rangers, cut a weary and haunted figure. Notably aged and understandably anxious he had to sit through his side succumbing to a hefty loss at the hands of their nemesis, Celtic.

For being the man who coined the now famous and eloquently concise observation, “football, bloody hell,” Sir Alex Ferguson appears downright solicitous heading into tomorrow’s derby with City. Roberto Mancini, for his part, seems just as resigned, with both coaches insisting that the other has a better chance of taking the silverware this year, almost [...]
