The Latest Football News and Opinions From 90 Minutes Online

The renaissance of Juan Sebastian Veron

There was a time when Juan Sebastian Veron was a very good player. Then, for a few years, he was wasn’t so good. But recently, at 34-years-old and back playing for his hometown club, Estudiantes, the playmaker has recaptured his very best form.

 

The relationship between Veron and Estudiantes runs deep. His father, Juan Ramon Veron, played for the club for ten years during the 1960s and early 70s and scored the winning goal against Manchester United in the 1968 Intercontinental Cup final.

It’s time to tear your hair out

After the latest in my seemingly endless run of disastrous trips to the hairdresser I was only prevented from crying myself to sleep by remembering all those footballers who’ve had worse luck than me over the years.

When I went in to my local lock-choppers and asked for a standard trim I ended up with a cross between a comb over and a mullet.

God only knows what these blighters asked for when they walked through the doors of their local salons.

WAGS LYRICAL - Football's most prolific WAGs

If you’re a professional footballer you can make the beast with two backs with any perma-tanned lovely that takes your fancy. Yeah, they may sell their story to the papers, but what's wrong with a written account of your sexual prowess? 

 

A WAGs lot in life is to then use the dubious accolade to eke out a career in the media spotlight which involves wearing very little, going to nightclubs and seeking out yet more footballers.

 

In homage to these women here we have football’s most prolific WAGs.

Bundesliga: The bubble's burst for Hoffenheim and there's a Wolf at the door!

Since I summarised the Bundesliga during it's winter break in January, there has been a consistent shift in the standings at the top end of the table. If you recall, a certain team called TSG 1899 Hoffenheim had shocked the Bundesliga by being top of the table by the winter break. With this season being their first ever in the top flight and a culmination of several promotions in the last eight years, 1899 Hoffenheim were an amazing Cinderella story- at least until January.

By being top of the table up until the mid-season winter break, 1899 Hoffenheim had the title of the "Herbstmeister" (Autumn Champions) bestowed upon them. It's an unofficial term, and as we all know history would be very different if all seasons were judged on the half-way stage, take Hull in the Premiership this season for example.

It’s not the winning but the losing that counts

As seasons across Europe come to a close everyone is supposedly neglecting the rear parts of their seats and experiencing bouts of incontinence.

But why? Most seasons ended a long time ago when certain teams decided to lose the odd game or two.

The Portuguese league was decided in favour of Porto when Benfica lost at home to Guimarães in March and Sporting lost at home to Braga in February.

The Premiership is supposedly wide open but you know Man U are going to win it.  This was decided when Middlesbrough popped a cap in Liverpool’s ass in February and Chelsea were guffed on by Tottenham in March.
