Football sites and articles

WhiteWashMan

i dont know if anyone else here reads soccernet, becuase quite frankly, when it comes to keeping up with what teams are doing, it really doesnt seem to co the business.
ok, so maybe spurs arent doing anything since they lost to boro at the weekend, but hey, skysports have plenty to say about transfer rumours and what not.

and i guess thats the sort of thing fans like. just keeping in touch with their teams.

anyway....

one thing i have discovered, si that evey now and then, they have little gems in the articles written.
at the moment they have two fantastic articles
smallest book in the world
and
first among equals

now. to be fair, i only ever visit skysports, soccernet and bbc sport occassionally, but are there any other sites out there that people would recommend?

I use news.google.co.uk quite a bit. As a Liverpool fan I type in Liverpool and hey presto I've lots of Liverpool related articles (which more often then not will actually relate to the club and not the city). I guess the method should work for other teams...

There's also NewsNow:
Celtic
Liverpool
Rangers
Spurs

I'm more into news of the teams I support tbh. I have a look at the articles on breakingnews.ie for anything else (just looked at breakingnews there to find Sven still taking WC qualification for granted ).

The Guardian Football Website is very good indeed.

Sometimes witty too, ascerbic wit from time to time, but always a good read. It's always my firdt port of call (after here) for my morning football fix.

Eirebhoy that newsNow site looks great - bookmarked!

Dont be at yourself

I find football365.com to be pretty good.

Yeah I would recommend football365.com its been my favorite for a long time, doesn't take itself too seriously and has some great regular features, Mediawatch, Lookalikes etcs which always turn up in Planet Football in the Irish times or Velocity in The Sunday Tribune.
Also Dangerhere.com is another irreverant look at the Beautiful game from an Irish POV and soccercentral.ie is a good Eircom league site as well.
Hope some of these are what your looking for.

No disrespect to John Terry, who is indeed a fine centre-back - but it is interesting to note that he has only really been considered as such since the arrival of Makelele. The same has happened in reverse at Madrid.

Where once the pairing of Ivan Helguera and Fernando Hierro was seen as the match made in defensive heaven, it was clear that once the Makelele protective shield was taken away, Helguera would be exposed for the rather leaden-footed ordinary guy that he is.

How true.
