46 YEARS ON…….

"You learn more from losing than winning" no not MacArthur, Alan Hudson I have been writing recently about players "mouthing" it off about what they are and what they're not going to do and then let everyone down, and those fans in particular. They don't let themselves down because it seems today's players have not [...]

GET THE BROOM OUT NOW!

I could not believe my eyes when picking up the Sun this morning to find the following, although I must tell you two years ago Roy Hodgson was responsible for our worst ever World Cup in Brazil, here we failed to get through our group, which was considered “easy” by one and all on the [...]

NEXT ENGLAND MANAGER ODDS

WHO'S NEXT FOR THE CHOP Not surprisingly Gareth Southgate is the 6/4 favourite to take over from his boss of three days ago Roy Hodgson, and it is almost a certainty he will be named the England Head Coach pretty soon. He fits the bill perfectly and like several others in [...]

BRILLIANT ICELAND

“TONIGHTS THE NIGHT”

Although Rod Stewart will not agree with his beloved Scotland departing just before the finals of Euro 2016, but I doubt if he cares too much. It was a great pity that happened because the interest with our four nations involved would have had far greater interest. England are the team who are best fancied [...]

ENGLAND IN TROUBLE

ONE DOWN TWO TO GO.... Which sees England in deep trouble despite what the panels of ITV and BBC think, and then there's Glenn Hoddle. We have played the worst team in the Group, and all of this hype given by the so-called football experts from Alan Shearer to Gary Lineker and back, saying about [...]

EURO HOPES

Marko Arnautović began his career with his brother Danijel at Floridsdorfer AC. In 1998 he joined FK Austria Wien but behaviour issues saw him change club regularly as in the next six years he moved around restlessly before joining in 2006. Arnautović scored 22 goals in 24 games for the Under-19 FC Twente in the [...]

Alan Hudson Walks on Water

When I was a kid I delivered the North Staffordshire Evening Sentinel for a couple of years. Or to put it another way: I had a paper round. There were two compelling local football stories during my time and one compelling national story which became local – the kidnapped heiress Lesley Whittle was found [...]
