The Premier League Owl When David Gold and David Sullivan bought West Ham, they dedicated quite a bit of press-time to hammering the previous regime for their financial mismanagement. In fairness, a lot of that was vindicated, ageing, injury-prone players on hefty wages has never been a winning combination. But, then again, Gold and Sulliva […]

West Ham and some Rio Ferdinand-style silliness



The Premier League Owl This is what’s known as ‘opportunistic journalism’ – although unfortunately for Caught Offside, authors of this monstrosity, it comes a couple of days too late to be in any way credible.

The beginning of the end for Rio Ferdinand at Old Trafford?



The Premier League Owl Whether or not his players wore the ‘Kick it out’ t-shirts pre-game today, was Sir Alex Ferguson’s decision to make. Ferguson has rules Old Trafford like a dictator, and that has unquestionably been to the club’s benefit – but this is a decision he has got very wrong. The choice of wheth […]

Feeling sorry for Roy Hodgson…



Feeling sorry for Roy Hodgson… The Premier League Owl I feel incredibly sorry for Roy Hodgson today. We moan and bitch about how benign the personalities are within the game, yet as soon as someone gives an opinion on something we’re clamouring for an apology. Roy Hodgson probably shouldn’t have been discussing Rio Ferdinand’s England future on the tube, […]

Why Roy Hodgson will not pick Rio Ferdinand for England



Why Roy Hodgson will not pick Rio Ferdinand for England The Premier League Owl Because, essentially, he can’t.

Rio Ferdinand’s continued England absence suggests something sinister



Rio Ferdinand’s continued England absence suggests something sinister The Premier League Owl This is why John Terry should have been left out of the England squad. As we wrote in early May, if Terry was included and Rio Ferdinand was omitted, then there were always going to be some that would believe it not to be a decision rooted in football.

Best & worst of the weekend: Manchester City and Manchester United



Best & worst of the weekend: Manchester City and Manchester United Best… Joe Hart’s double-save at the end of Liverpool/City So far ahead of his rivals for the England goalkeeping jersey that it has ceased to be a contest. Arguably the national team’s most important player now, given the lack of a credible replacement. From an outfielder’s perspective, Andy Carroll should’ve sc […]
