I’m sitting here, it’s half time between Algeria and Egypt during the Cup of African Nations semi-final. The gallery is filled with many online bettors who are trying their fortune to earn some profit from the ongoing game. As there are many fraudulent betting providers emerging everywhere, bettors have to be very cautious. Read this […]

As Christmas for many meant hangovers, left-over turkey and the obligatory tweaking of fantasy football (ff) teams, over-indulgence must now resonate. Early 2010, a time synonymous with resolutions, however, has so far been hijacked by the worst winter snap in decades. Whilst weather ransacked all but the Britannia, an extended holiday for some must’ve been […]

(Apologies to N.Sedaka/H.Greenfield) I love, I love, I love my calendar game Yeah, sweet calendar game I love, I love, I love my calendar game Each and every day of the year (January) You start the year off fine The year started well with a continuing good run in the league and a couple of […]

Wolves v Arsenal  Arsenal look like the best side in Europe when on their game, which at home, they have been all season. However they have been sloppy on the road this season, guilty of overplaying and taking their foot of the pedal. The recent games at AZ Alkmarr and West Ham were seemingly won, with the […]

I was lost for ideas. I hadn’t written for efp for over a month, other things had got in the way, and as well as that, football had been rather underwhelming for me. Everton have improved in that time, Louis Saha has become one of the greatest players in the world (a private joke, sorry), […]

It has come to light that there’s a new found confidence at Vale Park this season.  Ok, a 1-0 loss at home to Bury on Saturday – that being the 1st home loss and only the 2nd loss of the season – is a massive improvement on last season already. With the appointment of Micky […]

This is another attempt at freewriting, and for the next ten minutes I will just be typing non-stop whilst listening to the Sky Sports Soccer Saturday post-match post-mortems. It’s a really hard thing to explain, you just write whatever comes in to your head regardless of the subject, within a time limit, and normally you […]

To mark this momentous occasion, SoccerPro has brought out a limited edition of Homeless World Cup Tee-Shirts – which can be found at SoccerPro Homeless World Cup Tee-Shirt and seen below – with all […]

Events have fortunately conspired since we last spoke, making the last fortnight as significant, as poignant, and as revealing as any that I care to remember. Significant, because the powers that be have finally sought to be proactive in the fight against inequality; poignant, because, just as English football scales great heights on the pitch, […]

(Or, a response to this website’s editor’s excellent earlier piece Game Getting Greedier) A week into the new season and my interest is, as predicted, beginning to wane.   Not wholly due to Everton’s poor performances in their first two games, that’s reality, but because normal service has resumed.   Yes, my great start in […]

The Premier League’s London based clubs have enjoyed a uniformly bright start to the season, having collectively won each of the eight games in which they have featured.   This 100% record will come to an end later today, as the first of twenty London derbies takes place at Upton Park this afternoon.   West […]
