As most of you will be aware, Tottenham are at an advanced stage in their negotiations with Corinthians over the transfer of midfielder Paulinho, with a final decision set to be made by the player after the Confederations Cup.

This is about as transparent as it gets from Darren Lewis.
As most of you will be aware, Tottenham are at an advanced stage in their negotiations with Corinthians over the transfer of midfielder Paulinho, with a final decision set to be made by the player after the Confederations Cup.

Dismissing rumours of John Terry leaving Chelsea for Valencia
The Premier League Owl
So a ‘FIFA-registered’ agent has come out on record to claim that John Terry is plotting a move away from Chelsea.
The Mirror are reporting that Francois Gallardo has been party to negotiations between the player and Spanish side Valencia.
Okay then…
Right, firstly, being a FIFA-registered agent is n […]
Reprinted stories about Chelsea and Radamel Falcao
The Premier League Owl
International weekends are horribly dull, there’s nothing to talk about or debate. Spare a thought though for the papers, because they still have to manufacture some content to publish.
One of the best ways of doing that is by just republishing old content, or stealing it from another source – which is wha […]
The press create the fear in the England team, not the fans
The Premier League Owl
Michael Owen made some interesting comments yesterday about the fear that accompanies playing for England.
This is an old theme, but it’s worth bringing back: that fear is fostered by certain sectors of the media. Owen’s got a good point, because there are times when you watch England – especially […]
Welcome to the worst column in all of football

’14 MINS: Ma […]
Ashley Cole to Manchester United? No, obviously not
The Premier League Owl
It might feel like we’re picking on The Mirror a bit at the moment, but so be it – their attention-seeking ‘Ashley Cole might join Manchester United’ article is just asking to be ridiculed.
‘He couldn’t, could he?’ is the headlined atop of this waste of internet space, a questio […]
Daily Mirror trying to stir up some Swedish/English animosity
This is the first of what I suspect will be many articles of this type unfortunately. The Mirror are OUTRAGED that Sweden WANT to actually be grouped with England in the Euro 2012 pool stage.
How dare they? They should be running very, very scared of our world-renowned collection of under-achievers.
Sweden WANT to be grouped with England […]
Top 4…least-likeable football sites
Oh how boring International weeks are, just one big blur of drab football and mundane press-conferences – and they force blog writers everywhere to come up with ever more inventive ways to create content.
So, with that in mind, here’s your top five list of poor football sites. No particular order.
1. Caught Offside
A cacophony of […]
Bleeding heart footballer stories remain pointless
I couldn’t help be notice Michael Calvin’s piece in The Mirror yesterday, an article predicated entirely around the untold hardship stories that exist in football – all underlined with the context of Carlos Tevez’s £200,000/week salary.
Sample quotes:
“As Tevez sulks on £200k a week, real pros are forced to take […]
