The Worst Loan in History?

By: Matt | Comments No Comments

There have been some pretty bad transfers in recent history within the CCC and English football in general. Names like Ali Dia of Southampton stick out, among others, but what about bad loan spells for the players themselves, rather than the clubs?
I think Calum Davenport can lay claim to quite possibly the worst loan spell […]

New Year’s Day Action

By: Matt | Comments No Comments

Happy New Year to everyone, and the first day of 2008 brings us a busy day of matches in the FLC.
The pick of the bunch in terms of results surely has to be Colchester’s shock 2-1 result over Charlton. The U’s currently lie in the relegation places and a win over 5th placed Charlton will […]

Boxing Day Feast

By: Matt | Comments 1 Comment

Happy Holiday’s to All,
Hopefully you all got just what you wanted for Christmas, which was without doubt this fine effort from Norwich City circa 1994. And I hope everyone will also enjoy the annual Boxing Day bash when just about every football team in England suits up and takes to the pitch.
No huge surprises […]

Hope for Bangura

By: Matt | Comments 1 Comment

As discussed previously, and quite unfortunately, the British Home Office had ordered Watford winger Al Bangura to return to his native Sierra Leone.
The case received much publicity in the UK and abroad, as it has been rare that a person of such profile as a Championship footballer was faced with deportation. Especially considering the […]

Beatdown City

By: Matt | Comments No Comments

It was a weekend of shellacking’s in the FLC, as for some reason the goals came out and defense’s stayed home in England’s second tier.
Charlton 3 Cardiff 0
Bluebirds get destroyed by Charlton, who move up to second in the table.
Ipswich 6 Bristol City 0
This would have gone down as surprise result of the weekend but […]

Weekend Preview

By: Matt | Comments No Comments

Preview: Saturday, November 10th
Crystal Palace v QPR
The super hoops travel to Selhurst Park off the back of a stinging loss to Coventry on Tuesday. That aside, they have been in good form, lifting themselves out of the relegation zone, where there weekend opponents currently lie. I was at Selhurst Park recently, and it was like […]

Tom Cruise Set to Crush Sheffield United
Ok ok, your favorite Scientologist won’t actually be anywhere near Bramall Lane on Wednesday night (nor ever), but this Tom Cruise very well could be, as Wenger usually unleashes his cosmopolitan kiddy corps on all Carling Cup foes. They do well too, one instance that stands out was in […]

Scarborough Football Club in Battle for its Life

By: Nick | Comments No Comments

After 128 years of existence, it could now be seen as a tad ironic that Scarborough’s motto is “No Battle, No Victory” — for today the club is in the throes of a desperate fight for its existence.
Having been relegated from the Football League less than a decade ago, it’s been all downhill ever since, […]

Plymouth Argyle Fans Will All Have to Sit Down From Now On

By: Nick | Comments No Comments

In a blow to all those hopeful cries that football should figure out a way to return to the heady days of standing up to follow your team — Plymouth’s Pride Park has lost the use of its terrace area by Government demand. A great shame indeed.
Despite terracing being completely banned by The Premier League […]
