Matt and Pompey Canuck are back to reflect on the performance of the century from Robbie Keane. More seriously, the guys reflect on a Premier League weekend which ended in a two horse title race and more silly dropped points from Liverpool as their bid for Champions League football continues to flounder. The guys also discuss [...]
Japanese footballer Shunsuke Nakamura, perhaps best known for his free kicks during his time at Celtic between 2005-9, has pulled off a very impressive set piece on Japanese television.

As part of the new deal, Gerrard has also agreed to take on an ambassadorial role at the club once his [...]
The Glen Johnson tackle on Joleon Lescott in the Manchester City vs Liverpool Carling Cup semi final first leg has been met with outrage from City fans and manager Roberto Mancini, and with good reason.
