What price to pay for Cup joy?

WATCHING bits of the FA Cup coverage on television over the weekend, one theme seemed to keep coming up again and again.  more >

No breaking up the Big Three clubs

IF A season is defined by a series of landmark moments, then this was the weekend when it became clear that the title race will once again remain the preserve of members of the Big Four.  more >

The mid-term report card

SO after a run of four league matches in less than two weeks, we’re now at the halfway stage in a gripping Premier League season.  more >

A year’s worth of stories and memories

NEXT SUMMER, the arrival of the World Cup finals will bring the 20th anniversary of the Republic of Ireland’s debut appearance at the greatest show on earth.  more >

Could Hughes oust Rafa at Anfield?

HAVING previewed the festive period in these pages last week, I could never have imagined just how much would already have happened before the crackers had even been pulled.  more >

Christmas tale awaits ‘Big Four’

AT A TIME when it’s being suggested that the Big Four could be in the process of evolving into something more like a Super Seven, this weekend said a lot about the condition all seven are in at the moment.  more >

Chelsea have grounds for concern

IT’S a tradition which is as old as the Premier League itself. Manchester United have a few slip-ups in the early stages, leading to questions about whether they’re quite as good as they used to be, then they gradually improve, and by the midway point of the season they’re into a groove which carries them all the way to the finish line, sweeping all before them.  more >

Taking the Hart out of football

IT isn’t often nowadays that we wait until late November for it, but the first managerial change of the Premier League season came last week with the departure of Paul Hart from Portsmouth.  more >

FIFA will sit on their hands again

HAVING written my post-mortem on Ireland’s World Cup campaign last week, I didn’t expect to be returning to the subject this time. In truth though, there really isn’t much that hasn’t already been said about the most controversial incident on a football field in 23 years.  more >

Red Devils running low on chances

In most seasons nowadays, if a team had lost three times by early November they’d be getting written off as potential champions. This season of course is turning out differently, so nobody seriously believes that Manchester United are out of the running or anything like it. But if Chelsea do go on to win the title, we might very well have just seen the pivotal weekend.  more >

Ragged Reds stumble from bad to abysmal

A few years ago, Leeds United were the Premier League’s perennial crisis club. The glory years were over, the bills for those years were coming in, and hardly a week went by without some new revelation of just how dark a corner they’d backed themselves into.  more >

Lose at home and Ireland’s game is up

SO IT’S France, and the country which dealt what proved to be the most telling blow to our hopes of making it to the last World Cup, has the chance to deliver a final blow to Irish prospects of making it this time round.  more >

Reds are back at square one ... again

RAFA Benitez had plenty to complain about this past week, with two of his favourite themes throwing up grounds for grievance. Losing players to injury sustained on international duty, and the general injustices of football, are recurring topics for the Liverpool manager.  more >

Is plan on track after Croker rollercoaster?

WHEN Sean St Ledger marked his first match at Croke Park with a memorable diving header on Saturday night, it produced the sort of reaction from the Irish fans which we simply haven’t seen in Dublin for eight years.  more >

Chelsea loss piles pressure on The ’Pool

THIS time last year, Liverpool went to Stamford Bridge and ended Chelsea’s record run of 86 home league matches without defeat.  more >
