Retrospective: Lazio 4-4 AC Milan 1999

October 6, 2017 by Joshua Askew

Italian football has a reputation for being defensive born from its more methodical style of play and the country's general ability in defending, having a particular respect for the art in much the same way the Spanish put passing on a pedestal, yet if there was ever a time the…

It may have taken the extreme depths and European embarrassments we are currently seeing for everyone to catch on to the fact that the Premier League is pretty terrible at the moment, although it's lacked real quality since 2011, but there's little greater evidence of quite how far it's fallen…

Amid the back and forth between Arsenal and Chelsea after their dull clash, there was more than a little mistruth flying around. Jose Mourinho is obviously a serial liar, yet the other camp were lacking a little self-awareness. There's an admittance that the "boring boring Chelsea" chants are an adaptation…

With Patrik Berger this week having to deny reports that he narrowly avoided the doomed Germanwings plane, it's as good a time as any to reflect on one of the Czech's finest moments: his late cameo in the FA Cup final of Liverpool's treble-winning season. With Wembley being rebuilt, the…

With the release of his second autobiography, the football news has been flooded with an abundance of stories from Roy Keane's career. Individually, they are quite amusing - him deciding against signing Robbie Savage when his "whassup" answering machine message reminded him Savage is a terrible human being or the…

Remember the last time Louis van Gaal was in charge of the Netherlands and didn't qualify for the World Cup despite having Edgar Davids, Edwin van der Sar, Jaap Stam, Marc Overmars, Patrick Kluivert and Phillip Cocu, finishing four points behind an Irish side managed by Mick McCarthy, who then…

By the time this game had come, the World Cup campaign of England's "Golden Generation" seemed to have been dominated so much by the WAG circus in Baden Baden that the football had almost been forgotten. England were almost lucky to be at that stage after a dour 1-0 win…

Retrospective: Newcastle United 5-0 Manchester United 1996

With their recent tribulations, Manchester United fans have been condescendingly reminded of the need for patience, as every set of supporters suffering under a disappointing British manager have heard since the calls for Sir Alex Ferguson's head in 1989. However, while the media have been busy lowering expectations for the…

The recent troubles of Manchester United and Chelsea have led to a crisis in English football over the use of the word "crisis". What exactly constitutes a crisis? Where between losing two games and liquidation are we allowed to start talking about crises? If I say "crisis" three times in…

Retrospective: England 4-2 West Germany 1966

England's World Cup victory is undeniably English football's high point. Their solitary win - which could easily have been more had it not been for their arrogance in ignoring earlier competitions - showed they were the world's best at a time where other countries had proven they were competitive, rather…
