Must watch: Neil Ruddock is a gobby moron… sort of
As part of the FA’s ‘Respect’ campaign, English football’s governing body has launched a new video inviting ‘football fans to unite against the gobby morons and join Respect F.C.’
Neil Ruddock plays the ‘gobby moron’ character with genuine conviction, which shouldn’t really come as a surprise for a self-styled football bad boy with a nickname like [...]

iBet: More goals in the second leg
Seville v Villareal, Spanish Copa del Rey, 9pm, Sky Sports 3
Lay under 1.5 goals at 3.5 to one, 0.5 pts
We went for goals in the first round of this tie and had a winner within 30 minutes. The tie actually finished 3-3 and there’s no reason to think that the managers will suddenly adopt a [...]

Woe at West Ham and Ben Foster’s builder
Avram Grant to go and Martin O’Neill to move in
Football is a results business. West Ham are bottom of the Premier League, only two points adrift but under Avram Grant they don’t really look like staying up. David Sullivan, David Gold and Karren Brady usually support their manager. When they arrived at Birmingham they did [...]

The Fifa Balloon D’Or went to the wrong player, sort of
This year the Balloon D’Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year awards merged and, as with everything FIFA awards, the winner was undeserving (although at least Qatari forward, Yusef Ahmed, didn’t win).

Best of 2010: England Test squad on the march
In a topsy-turvy year that contained controversy, elation and the retention of the Ashes, England are proving themselves to be world-beaters. Two heavyweights in the shape of Sri Lanka and India are making the trip to Blighty next year, but in 2010, we have seen a disciplined, confident and fearless side that have merited every success achieved.
