Most of you will have read the quotes from Fernando Torres today, so there’s no real need to repeat them. If you have somehow managed to avoid them, here are some snippets – from which you can guess the rest.
“I’m not happy. Before the game I felt it was going to be one of my best moments and [...]
Applauding Norwich for their handling...
The Premier League Owl
We should all wish that more clubs had CEOs like David McNally.
In response to Grant Holt – or should that be Grant Holt’s agent – suddenly deciding that it’s time for a move, or at least time to gain some negotiation leverage, McNally took to Twitter to clarify his club’s position on the [...]
Don’t feel too sorry for Totten...
The Premier League Owl
The natural response to last night’s outcome in Munich might well be to feel sympathy for Tottenham, denied a spot in next year’s Champions League by cruel fate.
That’s not really true though, fate has nothing to do with it – Spurs surrendered their place at UEFA’s top table and they deser [...]
Liverpool: The King is dead. Long liv...
Phil Othman
Over the last ten days, football has delighted us with some of the most remarkable moments sport has to offer. Recent events have invoked the strongest of our emotions be it the euphoria of Manchester City’s astoundingly tense title victory, the heartbreaking travesty of a referee dictated relegation for Bolton or the disappointi [...]
Invented rumours about Liverpool bein...
The Premier League Owl
The Daily Mail is linking Liverpool with a move for CSKA Moscow forward Seydou Doumbia this Summer, on what grounds it’s hard to see.
Take the first two lines of the Mail’s article this morning:
“Liverpool are considering renewing interest in CSKA Moscow’s Seydou Doumbia once they have a new man [...]
Win or lose tonight, Roberto Di Matte...
The Premier League Owl
To anoint Roberto Di Matteo now is naive.
The Italian, affable personality that he is, has benefited from a set of circumstances that don’t represent normal management conditions.
Andre Villas-Boas left Chelsea almost in free-fall; mutinous players, sub-standard results, and directionless in all three competitio [...]
New QPR kits for 2012/13
The Premier League Owl
QPR’s low-key kit announcement was certainly a step-up from last year’s attempt. Rule number one for being a serious football team – use players to model your kits, not hired glamour models and air stewardesses, no matter how good an idea that would seem to be at the time.
So, here’s this season [...]
Thoughts on Grant Holt requesting a t...
The Premier League Owl
It looks like someone got a little bit ahead of themselves.
Let’s get this straight, Grant Holt is a Premier League player because of Paul Lambert and Norwich City – the Scot has built a side that accentuates Holt’s positive attributes, and he’s thriving because of it.
But 17 goals this season, [...]
Where next for Michael Owen?
The Premier League Owl
So there’ll be no new Manchester United contract for Michael Owen. No surprises there really, he’s only made 52 appearances in three years.
He’s 32 now, and while his best years are certainly behind him, if Owen was kept fit he could certainly still be useful in the league.
Whatever happens, let̵ [...]
Chelsea: Know your Bayern Munich for ...
The Premier League Owl
Bayern Munich are one of those teams that are always lurking around the European elite – regardless of the personnel at the club, they’re always competitive.
Unlike the La Liga behemoths, who are all as well-known to us as most Premier League teams, we tend not to pay too much attention to anything that happ [...]
