Hey, here's an idea... Goal line technology

After seeing Hilarious Gomes flap at another shot, this time it didn't cross the line, although that wasn't the opinion of the linesman who was on the 18 yard line when the shot was struck and the 6 yard line when Gomes clawed the ball back into his arms, there is no way from that angle that he could have seen whether the ball was fully over the line, and the whole of the ball has to cross the line.

Arsenal v Man United: Title Crunch Match ... oh wait.

Well here we are again at the tail end of the season and it seems that once again only one contender remains with a legitimate title challenge, of course Arsenal still mathematically can win it and Chelsea are in with a shout but it has all come too late for anyone to knock United of their perch.

Messi v Ronaldo: The Battle of the Spanish Giants.

It was long debated even before Cristiano Ronaldo made the move from Manchester to Madrid, and there was never a real chance for a comparison, because of the huge bridge in quality of the Spanish and English league defenders, but since he made the choice to go to Spain we have had a equal look at what each of the player's can do. They both have a fantastic scoring record in La Liga and have...

Arsene's Arsenal are complete Arses

When is Arsene Wenger actually going to stop living in denial? It seems that every time something goes against Arsenal it is someone else's fault. I am of course referring to Mr. Wenger's latest "outburst" involving the Liverpool game at the Emirates. The referee was spot on with the timing of the game and Wenger can have no complaints about Eboue's rash decision to bundle Lucas over...
