The above formula details the likely success of a penalty kick. I hate to admit this, but this sort of thing probably would have really helped me in math. More than that though, the penalty formula is, strangely, one of the reasons I can appreciate sports even more now though. With the vast success of […]


This is one of those “intertwined” posts. The Arsenal fullback on his team’s mentality: Following their Champions League exit this week, Arsenal are now focused solely on the Premier League but, with a three-point gap to make up on leaders Chelsea and only five games remaining, Sagna wants to see his team-mates adopt more of […]

While some may argue it was John Terry’s blown penalty that would have won it, you can’t blame him too much because he kept out a goal earlier. However, Didier Drogba, who has bitched all season after the firing […]


Phil Ball has an excellent article (per usual) on the rise and fall of Dutch legend Frank Rijkaard’s tenure as manager of FC Barcelona.
