The Latest Football News and Opinions From 90 Minutes Online

It’s time to tear your hair out

Details

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

Details

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!

Details

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

Details

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.

 

Groundhog day in La Liga, but judgement day is just around the corner

Details

Those of you who read Last week's liga review could be forgiven for thinking this report describes the very same round of fixtures. But despite Real and Barca squeeking to narrow victories again,

Valencia securing fourth spot, again,

Sevilla and Villareal stumbling again,

Atletíco Madrid making up for lost ground with a win, again,

Emana repeating 2 goal heroics for Betis and Racing and Bilbao continuing their slide from mid-table mediocracy to relegation flirtation.

I assure you, this really is a completely different report!
