    When Spurs Were Relegated

    The season was 1976-77. Tottenham had won the League Cup in 1971 & 1973, the UEFA Cup in 1972 and finished losing finalists in 1974. They’d become the first ...

    I was gonna do a top 5 of my favorite players from the 90's as I wrote in my post about football in the 90's. Some of these guys retired in the 90's, some went on to play a bit longer (and we're all grateful for that). It wasn't easy to create a top 5, for more than a week I've been thinking who to include and who not. There were so many players whom I loved to watch playing...

    But I think I have come up with a top 5 now. Not gonna the whole top 5 right now, gonna do a slow countdown to number one so it may take a few weeks before you will find out who my favorite player of those days is.

    The season is 1975-76, and QPR are about to embark on their most remarkable season in their 93 year history (to that date).

    Promoted to the First Division in 1973 when they finished 2nd to Burnley, they ended 8th in season 73-74, and 11th in 74-75.

    They were positive about their prospects under manager, Dave Sexton

    After a career that involved clubs like West Ham, Luton, Crystal Palace and Brighton, Sexton embarked on a management career. After a position as first team coach at Arsenal, he joined Chelsea as manager in 1967. In 1970 he guided Chelsea to the FA Cup and then the European Cup Winners Cup a year later. Sexton was sacked by Chelsea and then took over at Loftus Road in 1974.

    QPR had a tough start to the season with a home fixture against Liverpool and also a trip to Derby County in their first three matches.

    Alberto's Brilliant FM2012
    Ball Control Coaches




    This is the next in my series of guides i hope to do, where i will go through all the different types of coaches and staff types on FM such as defence, ball control, scouts, physios and assistant managers etc... and then at the end i will make an article about the best of the bunch and create a staff team out of them. This time we are going to look at Ball Control coaches. I haven't yet found a coach higher than 4 and a Half stars for coaching Ball Control, if you know of one please let me know. All these coaches are 4 or 4 And a Half star coaches at Ball Control, some of them may be higher at other things such as Fitness or Shooting. To make it as easy as possible, i have tried to find mostly unemployed coaches, so that there wouldnt be any compensation to pay and the coach would be more favourable to going to your team.

    The Transitional Period of Tackling


    Today I'm going to talk about something which I'm extremely passionate about; tackling. When I was growing up and playing for school football teams and children's teams, I loved to tackle. It was my best attribute and as a right-back, who was able to get up and down the line, I loved tackling and I loved to be tackled. The adrenaline and the excitement of tackling, was amazing for me. You can see this in some players in the professional game also, for example Steven Gerrard, who seems to get a big rush of adrenaline whenever he times a good tackle correctly. However, are we losing this side of the game?

    Colombia Dreaming - by TGE


    Colombia, once a potential football shrine.* Based in South America, learning their football from the English and the Argentine surely this would bring them some form of glory?** The natural skill and technical ability that their South American counterparts enjoyed, mixed, with the ever-growing presence of the domineering English who were known for their tough, die hard attitude to life, and the game.

    Some of it seemed to have paid off in ’93, when they recorded a staggering 5-0 win in Buenos Aires against the Argentines, they had rocked the ...

    Picture This... - by TGE


    Picture this. Thierry Henry, the legend, back at his former stomping ground, well, the newer version. Arsenal v Swansea, his first league game back and he plays some part in the game.

    Picture this. 9 years ago Arsenal were top of the 4 tier English football pyramid whilst Swansea, were bottom. 90 places between them 9 years ago, Arsenal went on to win the league that season whilst Swansea just about managed to stay in English football league.

    So the scene is set, Arsenal on the verge of what can be called a great recovery after their abysmal start, Swansea, doing well for themselves, a win, against odds, would lift them to 10th.

    7 Possible January Window Coups – by TGE

    It seems at the minute that there are 7 most wanted players in football, each of which suit a vast amount of Premiership teams and thus their interest has been made public. Here is my shortlist of a few of these players;


    Kaka – Kaka has been drawing particular interest after starting very little for Madrid this season so far. Teams such as Chelsea have been linked with a move for him for years now but now big money French giants, PSG, are in the hunt for some big names to boost their reputation and Kaka fits the bill perfectly for them. Spurs have also been linked and fresh Chelsea rumours have been floating around, definitely a “could-be” transfer, if not now, then in the summer.

    The season so far – The Big 6 – by TGE


    The Premiership so far this season has been a story of ups and downs, highs and lows, but only one team has held the spotlight so far; Manchester City. After living, for so long, in the shadows of their comparatively far more successful neighbours, United, they have started to show signs of the competitiveness that we had expected from the amount of money that they have spent over the last few years. The Tevez saga at the beginning of the season showed potential signs for upset at the club as the then captain seemed eager to find his way out of the club. Since then though, all has been well for City in terms of the league, however, of late they have shown signs of struggle with an FA Cup exit at the hands of their rivals but they are still in the League Cup, however 1-0 down going into the home tie in a couple of weeks.

    United have had a ragged start to their season as they generally tend to have. Vastly overlooked so far due to the success of their rivals, they have put in both some stella and some poor performances so far this season. ...
