tevezdavies Kevin Davies or Carlos Tevez?
Yes, that is a serious question. Two players who ‘offer more than just goals’ as strikers. But how much more? Who would you rather have? Fortunately a member of the Football365 Forum (lol tb x) has done the analysis for us. Read on to see who comes out on top… A comparison of their goals and assists since Tevez came here: This is obviously an area where Tevez should win by a margin having played with some of the best players in the world. Davies has played in a poor Bolto... Read Full Story

From:  footballsup.com
I think these are our most covered topics. We’ve discussed it here, here, and here, and provided material for Patrick Barclay. If you read those articles (which I don’t suspect for a second you will) you’ll see our position is abundantly clear. There were two incidents this weekend that fulled the debate – one in the United/Chelsea game, and one in the Liverpool/Birmingham game. Here is our take on them… 1. Drogba on Brown, Chelsea v United We’ll be biased... Read Full Story
Fantasy Football Picks
From:  footballsup.com
We haven’t done this for a while – here are our best three picks for this week and the weeks ahead… Although we make no assurances they will be successful. 1. David Dunn He’s fat, he’s round, he’s only five point seven million pound… David Dunn. By a margin Blackburn’s outstanding performer this season, Dunn has already notched four goals, and in only seven appearances. In those seven he has also received bonus points four times (3,3,2,1) so re... Read Full Story
Battle of the Big Four
From:  footballsup.com
Roughly a quarter of the way into the new season and the Big Four have experiences vastly contrasting fortunes. We have a look at them… Chelsea Won five from five, on a great run currently, Drogba firing, Lampard re-finding his goalscoring touch, defence shored up… it all looks good for Carlo Ancelotti. Defeats to Wigan and Aston Villa have blighted their record but they are rightly strong favourites for the title. The return of Joe Cole is a boon, and there is a definite feeling... Read Full Story

The Balloon Goal - Now with Gifs
From:  footballsup.com
All the videos keep being removed from YouTube because of copywright issues - this one is up at time of writing. Here is the goal in gif format: And here is the guilty party - the most hated man (boy) in Liverpool: As you can see from the last gif, it’s not a balloon at all, but some sort of beach ball thing. Hence the deflection. That chavvy kid must be extremely unpopular right now. Read Full Story
