If they were an Olympian: G4S Security. Well financed, with owners of global influence, seemingly mired in controversy, often lacking discipline. Up fro...

Lankyguy blog - Football analysis: November 2012
http://lankyguyblog.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Lankyguy blog - Football analysis. Tactical analysis on matches, teams and players and occasionally other articles. Tuesday, 6 November 2012. Looking at Man City's 'zonal marking'. Let's concentrate on the second goal Man City conceded against Ajax:. As you can see, Man City are defending with one line of man-to-man and one line of zonal - three players in front marking one player each and then four players behind marking zonally. As the corner comes in, Toure lets De Jong run off him. Arguably he sh...

Wednesday, 15 August 2012. Premier League Previews: #17 Tottenham. In: Jan Vertonghen (£11m, Ajax), Gylfi Sigurdsson (£8.8m, Hoffenheim). Out: Steven Pienaar (£5m, Everton), Ledley King (retired), Niko Kranjcar (£6m, Dynamo Kiev), Vedran Corluka (£6m, Lokomotiv Moscow), Louis Saha (released), Ryan Nelsen (free transfer, QPR). However unlike at Chelsea, where there is still almost unanimous agreement that the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti was folly, there has been a quiet acceptance that Harry Redknapp may w...

Game Ramble Weekly: Do Real Madrid need Luka Modric?
http://gamerambleweekly.blogspot.com/2012/08/do-real-need-luka-modric.html
Thursday, 23 August 2012. Do Real Madrid need Luka Modric? Real Madrid are as synonymous with big summer signings as English batsman are to sudden collapses. Simply put, a summer without Real Madrid splashing the cash and hosting garish, cringe-inducing welcome ceremonies. Just doesn't feel right. Have yet to unveil any new Galacticos. They have been a key player in this summers longest running transfer saga. 1 A replacement for Xabi Alonso. Another argument to this is the figure of Nuri Sahin, who arriv...

Game Ramble Weekly: Premier League Previews: #16 Swansea
http://gamerambleweekly.blogspot.com/2012/08/premier-league-previews-16-swansea.html
Wednesday, 15 August 2012. Premier League Previews: #16 Swansea. In: Michu (£2.2m, Rayo Vallecano), Chico (£2.2m, Genoa CFC), Jonathan de Guzman (loan, Villarreal). Out: Joe Allen (£15m, Liverpool). If they were an Olympian: Jade Jones. The new Women's -57kg Taekwondo champion exceeded all expectations. Hugely impressive and pleasant on the eye. Attacking midfielder Michu has arrived from Rayo Vallecano and the Spaniard was one of the most impressive players in La Liga last term, finishing as the highest...

Game Ramble Weekly: Premier League Previews: #7 Manchester City
http://gamerambleweekly.blogspot.com/2012/08/premier-league-previews-7-manchester.html
Thursday, 9 August 2012. Premier League Previews: #7 Manchester City. Out: Vladimir Weiss (£3.5m, Delfino Pescara), Wayne Bridge (Loan, Brighton and Hove Albion), Owen Hargreaves (released), Stuart Taylor (released). If they were an Olympian: Peter Wilson. Like City, Britain's Olympic Double Trap champion owes much of his success to a wealthy Middle-Eastern businessman. Realistically City should win the league but their two closest rivals have so far strengthened more than they have. United have brou...

Out: Paul Pogba (free transfer, Juventus), Ji-Sung Park (£2.7m, QPR), Fabio (loan, QPR), Tomasz Kuszczak, (free transfer, Brighton and Hove Albion), Michael Owen (released). The purchase of Shinji Kagawa from Dortmund, is an excellent purchase and for the price the club paid, good value for money for a player who is only 23. Kagawa's best positio...

January 21, 2013. I’ve interviewed sports stars, covered football matches live and written features about most of the nation’s favourite ball games. Continue reading. I write sport features, both serious and silly, and have interviewed stars including Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Gabby Logan and, er, TNA Wrestling’s Samoa Joe.
