Like the proverbial bus that you wait and wait for only to have two turn up at once, we at 90minutesonline have been tossing and turning at night waiting for someone to correctly spot the footballer, and then three of you do it at once.
Congratulations to Elias the Great, Ana and Jono, who all spotted the barely disguised Brad Friedel.
They’re all invited to write an article for this here website. So once they’ve sent them in to ian.shine@talk21.com, you, dear readers, will get a chance to read them.
The Beautiful Game is an over-used phrase: football is often an arduous spectator sport. When it’s good, it’s really good. When it’s bad, it’s awful. And when it’s somewhere in-between – which is where it spends most of its time – it’s usually pretty turgid.
The footballing news today is predictably dominated by the Champions League clash between Arsenal and Manchester United tonight. Usually I would therefore try and find something else to talk about, but apologies the pull is too much and besides it would be neglectful not to wax lyrical about a match that will probably be watched by millions of people across the world.
The Liga Sagres would’ve fit in nicely on Clapham Common this weekend after its bottom was the scene of some significant action.
It’s now that time of year when the aspirations of different football clubs are either realised or shattered. In keeping with that theme I thought it would be apt and perhaps morbidly fascinating to take a look at the fortunes of some of the clubs that have been relegated from the Premier League.
