It sounds like a missing scene from the Da Vinci Code. On Monday night, reports leaked to the press that a group known as “The Red Knights” had assembled themselves for a secret meeting, presumably held in an underground lair by candlelight, to discuss their plans to wrestle control of Manchester United from the evil forces known as “The Glazers”. The group is a veritable who’s who of  legal and financial powerhouses, with representatives of some of the world’s most influential organizations holding exclusive membership. Despite the early stages at which their epic quest lies, their intentions must ...

Bundesliga Round 24

"Faryd Camilo Mondragón Alí - The man who won Fußball-Club Bayern München the 09/10 title?" 3 home wins, 3 away wins, 3 draws and 15 goals. As statistically unexciting as Round 24 may sound, the Bundesliga still delivered its fair share of thrills, spills, and meaningful moments. So pull out your metaphorical knife and fork and tuck in! Friday evening's Ruhr derby saw Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund get the round under way with a low-on-quality, high-on-hustle affair. Neither of these teams had the luxury of European competition to make time for, so ...

Football. Still a contact sport.

Ryan Shawcross of Stoke City is sent off by Referee Peter Walton for a challenge on Aaron Ramsey of Arsenal during the Barclays Premier League match between Stoke City and Arsenal at The Britannia Stadium on February 27, 2010 in Stoke on Trent, England.

First things first, I watched the Arsenal - Stoke game and was absolutely devastated for Aaron Ramsey. I wouldn't wish such an injury on any player and I wish him all the best in his recovery. I sincerely hope ...

Celtic talisman Robbie Keane is passed fit for crucial Old Firm derby at Ibrox

Robbie Keane has almost seen it all. Playing in hostile environments for the likes of Leeds, Spurs, Liverpool and indeed Ireland means he should be prepared for anything football can throw at him. Ibrox is not the most welcoming of places at the best of times. Come 12.30 today, Keane will experience his first old firm derby, but is he prepared? Former Celtic and Northern Ireland legend Neil Lennon believes so and knows exactly what lies in store for the Tallaght ...

Premier League Preview

On a weekend where the first silverware of the season is set to be handed out, all eyes would be expected to be focused on Wembley on Sunday afternoon when Manchester United and Aston Villa square up in the Carling Cup decider. Instead early on Saturday, the eyes of the footballing world will be gazing upon two players and in particular their hands. Chelsea welcome Manchester City to Stamford bridge in what is the first time Wayne Bridge and Mr. England John Terry will physically cross paths since those allegations. In what is otherwise a relatively ...

A prayer to St. Andrew

Ruining Football continue to slip down the Fantasy Football standings after a number of horror weeks and things don't look like getting better any time soon. Birmingham City are the new Manchester United....in Fantasy Football terms anyway. With the Champions in Carling Cup action this week, I have turned to Birmingham City and their solid home record for points this week. Out go Rooney, Evra and Fletcher. In come Hart, Johnson and Bowyer. A home clash against Wigan really could go either way but if ...

BPF contributor Michael Donnelly is back and takes a look at one of England's group opponents at the 2010 World Cup in South Afrcia. It doesn’t take an expert to work out that Everton’s recent rise in form has coincided with the arrival in January of American soccer star, Landon Donovan. The Californian native has slotted into manager David Moyle’s plans so seamlessly that it has left many Premiership followers wondering where he has been before now and indeed his performances have inspired a group of Everton fans to set up a Facebook page urging ...
