Musings on the Beautiful Game. About Round The Keeper. Posted by: Round The Keeper. December 8, 2011. England’s Euro 2012 Group: Not So Simple? Although you could be forgiven for thinking that you’d somehow tuned into Eurovision last Friday, the draw for the Euro 2012 eventually yielded some excellent group-stage line-ups. Holland v Germany! Poland v er, Greece! Of course we write (i.e. whinge) a lot about England on this blog, so unsurprisingly we’re going to be talking about Group D. The Swedes have so...

The Germans have similarly breezed through their qualifying group, one which included difficult opponents such as Turkey and Belgium, scoring twenty-eight goals and winning all eight games played so far, one of which was a 6-2 thumping of neighbours Austria. Only Holland have scored more, and their group included the ever porous San Marino. Posted in Euro 2012. Five Rings On A Shirt. You are commenting us...

In Defence of David De Gea | Round The Keeper
https://roundthekeeper.wordpress.com/2012/01/31/in-defence-of-david-de-gea
Musings on the Beautiful Game. About Round The Keeper. Posted by: Round The Keeper. January 31, 2012. In Defence of David De Gea. Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown so goes the famous Shakespeare quote and by analogy if the crown is the number one jersey at Manchester United, David De Gea’s head must be positively swimming. After yet another tremulous performance in the FA Cup against Liverpool it is not even clear whether he remains United’s first choice any longer. Posted in David de Gea. Laquo;...

Chelsea’s hopes of silverware rested on the return clash with United at Old Trafford but they were unable to recover from a quick start by the eventual Champions. Game of the season. Chelsea 6-0 West Brom.

Musings on the Beautiful Game. About Round The Keeper. Posted by: Round The Keeper. April 30, 2012. Roy the Right Result for England. The snub of Harry Redknapp is what has lead to some surprise in certain quarters, but when placed side-by-side with Hodgson’s record such surprise is unwarranted. We’ve covered Redknapp’s shortcomings in a previous post. Hodgson deserves the fans’ backing, what he might lack in charisma he makes up for in proven success and talent.

Musings on the Beautiful Game. About Round The Keeper. Posted by: Round The Keeper. May 16, 2012. Premier League Team Of The Season 2011/12. Yes folks it’s time for our Premier League team of the season! You can stop holding your breath now…. GK: Michel Vorm – Swansea. DL: Ashley Cole – Chelsea. A freakish amount of goalline clearances saved Chelsea’s bacon on several occasions. An unsavoury man he might be but he still remains one of England’s few world-class players. DC: Fabricio Coloccini Newcastle.
