Kovy makes a deal with the Devils

Ilya Kovalchuk has finally, after many months of back and forth negotiations and arbitration hearings, signed for the New Jersey Devils. This, I’m sure, is a relief for not only Kovalchuk (whom, btw, I actually met once in a Hotel in Looe!), but for the Devils as well who have been desperate to get their man for a long time. The deal is reportedly worth around $100 million and will last for 15 years. Kovalchuk will make the first More

Saints’ fall from grace.

A few turbulent years have manged to cause the fall of one of English Football’s biggest clubs. Of course, Southampton are not at the levels of Newcastle or Manchester United, but they are a big club on the south coast. They were a constant presence in the top flight for 27 years. There are few clubs who can boast that statistic. However, in recent times, for one reason or another, things have gotten gradually worse for the Saints to the More

Southampton 0 – 1 Plymouth Argyle

The first game of the League 1 season kicked off today and featured two of the favourites for the League 1 title. Southampton have been undergoing a big rebuild over the last few years after enduring some pretty torrid times. Plymouth, on the other hand, are looking to bounce straight back up to the Championship after suffering relegation last season.

Champions League Debut

Watching Spur’s debut Champions League game was a great testament to Harry Redknapp and his Managerial skills. Watching it with a beer in hand, all I can say for Redknapp’s tactical decisions is - good call. it was to be no pushover drawing SV Werder Bremen away. With Peter Crouch stepping in for an injured Jermaine Defoe, he was able to impart his experience of the glorious competition from his Liverpool days. The game opened with an own goal More

Hammers Snub Parker Bid

West Ham have recently snubbed a bid from Tottenham Hotspur for Scott Parker, their highly rated, and hard working, central midfielder. Parker has great experience in the Premier League having had spells at Newcastle United and Chelsea and always bring with him a professional and never-say-die attitude. He is a commanding central midfielder who isn’t afraid to put in the tackles and shout his orders to the rest of his team. Tottenham could do with such a player and Harry More

Russian Centre Signs in the Big Apple

Frolov, a former first round pick and highly rated forward for the Los Angeles Kings, has been traded to the New York Rangers. Frolov had 19 goals and 32 assists in 81 games for the Los Angeles Kings last season. However, as most know, he is capable of much more than that. At only 28, he is also coming into the prime of his career and filling in the mens xxl skates of the NHL quite nicely. He could be More

The Gunner’s Hit List

For the last few years there has been little success for Arsenal football club. Considered one of the best sides in Europe and part of the “big four” in the Premiership, (also consisting of Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool) Arsenal are well respected for the way they try to nurture young talent. However, in the past, they could do this and still win trophies because they had experience and leadership in the squad as well.

These days, the average age More
